10 Wealthiest Americans and How They Got Rich
6) David Koch
David Koch is the billionaire brother to Charles Koch, and runs the chemical technology business of Koch Industries. David inherited his father’s company in Kansas, and helped turn Koch Industries into the second-largest privately held company in the United States. The business makes a range of products that include jet fuel, electronics, fertilizer, etc. One reason why David has become so wealthy is that 90 percent of earnings go right back into investing in the company. Another reason would be that Koch Industries hire and retain people with the “right values”, and give employees a bigger voice in decision-making. This creates a work place that is designated to making the company more and more successful. Due to this strategy, it is no wonder that the Koch brothers are so wealthy.
