Billionaire Larry Ellison, a generous contributor to the presidential aspirations of Republican U.S. Senator Marco Rubio, doubled down recently on his support for the White House hopeful to the tune of $1 million.

Oracle's executive chairman contributed the sum in January to Conservative Solutions PAC, a political action committee backing the Florida freshman senator's White House bid, federal campaign data showed. Although the PAC had dozens of other large contributors, Ellison was by far the most generous of those listed.
