In 1961, this young man started working at his father's company. In 1967, Fred C. Koch passed away, and his son Charles took over as business manager. After the loss of his father, Charles discovered a letter his father had left him in 1936. The letter contained financial advice: "If you let this fortune take away your creativity and independence, it will become a curse for you and what I leave you will be a mistake." Charles continued to run the business from 1967, when it was worth up to $250 million. The following year, the new chairman changed the company's name to Koch Industries to honor his late father.

David Koch followed his brother into business in 1970. His twin brother Bill also joined a year later, but conflicts arose between the three brothers.

In about 1980, Bill Koch conducted a coup to take over the company's board of directors. Bill's brothers stopped the plan and he was fired from the business with a $400,000 severance pay, but the battle was not over.

Dispute discussions began to ignite between the four brothers, divided into two factions, Charles and David turned on Bill and Fred Jr. An agreement was reached in 1983. Koch Industries paid Bill $620 million, equivalent to 21% of the company's shares, and Fred received $400 million for his own shares.

Two years later, Bill and Fred Jr. back in court, filing suit against the cousins. They said their shares were significantly undervalued in the first settlement. The Bill also accused the business of stealing oil from federal lands. The case was eventually settled with a $25 million settlement.

In 1998, Koch Industries spent $6.9 million to settle the Minnesota oil spill, and was hit with a subsequent federal criminal charge, which resulted in an $8 million fine.

Koch Industries' trouble didn't stop there. In 2002, the business had to pay a $28.5 million fine after one of its subsidiaries was accused of fixing product values.

In 2000, the business had to pay an environmental civil fine of up to $30 million, the reason being 300 oil spills since 1995 that the business did not check its pipelines.

At present, the company rakes in $100 billion in revenue each year. As of August 2018, the brothers were both worth $53.7 billion, each holding 42% of the company's shares.
