Oracle's Larry Ellison to host fundraiser for Rubio

Sen. Marco Rubio now has another billionaire in his corner: Oracle founder Larry Ellison.

Ellison will host a fundraiser for the Florida Republican’s White House bid at his mansion in Woodside, Calif., on June 9, according to an invitation obtained by POLITICO.

A VIP reception and photo opportunity with Rubio will cost attendees $2,700 per person. The fundraiser will also include a host committee dinner for couples who have raised $27,000.

Ellison, who has a net worth of nearly $54 billion, hosted a fundraiser benefiting the National Republican Senatorial Committee last year that featured another presidential hopeful, Sen. Rand Paul, who has been courting major Silicon Valley donors.

We should be worried. Rubio has a sugar daddy with more money than one of the Kochs.

Larry, of course, is the current titleholder. The Kochs had an entry called America3 (America cubed) back when everyone thought they were just your average billionaires next door.

Bill Koch is a billionaire brother of the infamous Koch family, but Bill spent almost 20 years fighting with his brothers Charles and David (the Koch brothers we all know and hate). Bill funded an America's Cup winner in 1992 and also funded the first (and only) all woman Cup team in 1995. Goggle Mighty Mary for more info.

Disclaimer: Yes I am a sailor and admire Dawn Riley's career and her role in Bill Koch's teams and was a contributor to Riley's America True campaign,
