William Koch grew up in Indiana, and is the son of Fred Chase Koch, the founder of Koch Industries, one of the most successful oil companies in United States history.

He is a staunch Republican supporter, and has sent checks for as much as $1 million to the Romney campaign. An Old West enthusiast, he purchased the only remaining picture of Billy the Kid for $2.3 million, and had an entire faux ghost town taken from its location in Colorado and reassembled on his ranch at a cost of $3.1 million.
