Brother of Charles and David (his twin), Bill Koch won $12 million in punitive damages in April, 2013, from entrepreneur Eric Greenberg, who'd consigned fake bottles of Bordeaux for auction at Zachys. He's also fighting against bizarre allegations his minions at Oxbow Carbon held a former executive prisoner at his Wild West ranch in Colorado; countersuit accuses exec of embezzlement and lying about being kidnapped. Plus he's suing Warren Buffett's Burlington Northern railway for charging monopoly prices to ship his coal. Koch paid $19.5 million for Rachel "Bunny" Mellon's former Cape Cod estate in 2013. He tried to wrest control of Koch Industries in 1980, and was fired. With eldest brother Frederick, he then sold stakes back to brothers for over $700 million in 1983. Feeling shortchanged, he spent 18 years suing for more. He settled after jury awarded them zero in 1998.
