A wealthy Florida billionaire told the Washington Post Thursday that he would donate $10 million to a political action committee (PAC) for Marco Rubio if the Florida Senator officially tosses his hat into the 2016 White House ring. Norman Braman, the former owner of the Philadelphia Eagles, is a longtime supporter and benefactor of Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and told the Post that he isn’t interested in another potential Florida Republican candidate, former Governor Jeb Bush. In Branan’s mind, the party needs “someone who represents the next generation,” which is apparently Rubio.

The 83-year-old Braman, who sold the Eagles in 1994 to Jeffrey Lurie and currently has an estimated net worth of $1.9 billion, knows he cannot just donate millions of dollars directly to Rubio, which is why he told the Post he’d contribute that money once someone organizes a Super PAC for Rubio’s campaign. Of course, it is just as likely that he, or someone else he’s associated with, will form the ‘independent’ committee once they have assurance that Rubio will run. It is expected that Rubio will announce his candidacy within a month.

Braman also told the paper that he isn’t the only one ready to pony up to assist a Rubio White House run. Apparently, Sheldon Adelson, the casino magnate that bankrolled Newt Gingrich in 2012 and helped him finish respectably in the GOP primaries, is also interested in Rubio. The Post also revealed that Rubio could benefit from the Koch brothers network, among other power players.

Among Rubio’s supporters is a cadre of donors who participate in the political network organized by industrialists Charles and David Koch, according to a person familiar with their thinking. Rubio has also been intensely courting casino magnate Sheldon Adelson. The two had a long one-on-one dinner Monday at a Washington steakhouse. The backing of a handful of enormously rich financiers for an allied super PAC could help keep Rubio aloft in the competitive GOP primaries, much as Adelson did for former House speaker Newt Gingrich in 2012. Rubio advisers also say he has made enough inroads with the broader donor class to be able to raise significant funds for his own campaign operation � perhaps $40 million to $50 million by next year’s Iowa caucuses. “I don’t think Marco is going to hurt for money at all,” said Scott Weaver, who heads the public-policy practice at the Washington law firm Wiley Rein and is helping spearhead Rubio’s fundraising efforts. Rubio also has the financial support of Wayne Berman, who served as national finance chairman for Sen. John McCain’s 2008 GOP presidential campaign and was a top adviser to Mitt Romney’s 2012 campaign.

While Rubio has to deal with Bush when it comes to big money donors in Florida to help his potential campaign, having a billionaire in his back-pocket like Braman takes a lot of pressure off of him when it comes to brown nosing for dollars. With Braman already committing $10 million, it gives Rubio breathing room while also letting other donors know that one major player has confidence in him. Therefore, other might want to come along for the ride.
