Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Larry Ellison has attributed a significant part of his personality to his relationship with his father. His father was an adoptive parent who refused to tell Ellison about his biological parents, which created an enduring sense of abandonment and drove Ellison to become fiercely independent and self-reliant. This personality trait would have had a significant impact on his success as an entrepreneur.
