Wyatt Koch is known as a bit of a character in Florida where the red haired entrepreneur has set up his clothing line specializing in ‘out there’ styles.
He is the son of industrialist Bill Koch, the forgotten Koch brother of Charles and David’s twin.
Bill Koch, whose net worth is about 1.7 billion, according to Forbes, worked with his brothers at Koch Industries in the 1970s but argued with the pair and, following an unsuccessful coup, was fired.
In 1983, Bill Koch and his oldest brother, Freddie, sold their interests for $470 million and $320 million, respectively.
Koch Industries has since gone onto become America’s second biggest private company with a $100billion revenue – propelling Charles and David into joint 8th and 9th places on the Forbes’ richest billionaires.
