I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
Fred and Bill Koch don't seem to do much with Charles and David
Fred seems to mostly buy historic properties and collect art, while Bill is also into energy but doesn't seem to do all the lobbying Charles and David do
There was a story about how their father (or someone he hired to babysit them) would drive Charles and David out to a field and give them each boxing gloves whenever they argued.
e: yeah, it's the start of this book. Bill and David though, but yeah.
There were apparently rumours going around that Fred was gay and Charles and David attempted to use them to force him out of the company. It's been decades and I still don't think he talks to them. He is, incidentally, nowhere near so politically active as they are, and insofar as I can tell just a much more likeable person. But then, most people are.

They once had a fight over the family fortune. It went to court and all that shit. Fred and Bill lost.
I hear that Fred still doesn't talk to David or Charles.
