The Koch Brothers Are Now Worth an Obscene $100 Billion -- And They Are Using That Fortune to Destroy Our Society | Alternet



On Wednesday, Charles and David Koch - the Koch Brothers - reached a new personal milestone. 



According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, they now have a total net worth of around $100 billion. 



That means that if the Kochs were counted as a single person, they would be the single richest person in the entire world. It also means that they control two million times the amount of wealth that the average American takes home every year.
