Forbes: Koch Brothers Now Worth $50 Billion | Forbes estimates that Tea Party petrochemical scions Charles and David Koch have a fortune of $25 billion each, making them the fourth richest Americans, behind only Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, and Larry Ellison.

Buoyed by aggressive speculative trading on volatile energy markets, the Koch brothers accumulated $15 billion in wealth since March 2010, a 43 percent increase.

The most dangerous men in America. They really have one goal and that is to get government out of their way. You can thank them for the TParty and many other conservative "family" movements. They are into everything. The prime motivation has been greed. Their biggest enemy the EPA. You are going to see that in legislation that is being put in place as we speak. The EPA is their favorite punching bag because they are among the largest polluters in the U.S. and have a long track record of donating to politicians and think tanks that fight safety precautions.
