Keluarga Koch

Keluarga Koch (/koʊk/ kohk) adalah keluarga Amerika Serikat yang berkecimpung di dunia bisnis. Mereka terkenal karena aktivitas politiknya (menyumbang ke lembaga-lembaga libertarian, reformasi pengadilan pidana, dan Partai Republik) dan menguasai Koch Industries, perusahaan swasta terbesar kedua di Amerika Serikat (pendapatan $100 miliar pada tahun 2017).^[1] Bisnis keluarga ini dirintis oleh Fred C. Koch, penemu metode perengkahan baru untuk menyuling minyak mentah berat menjadi bensin.^[2]^[3] Keempat anak Fred saling menggugat satu sama lain atas kepentingan mereka dalam perusahaan ini pada tahun 1980-an dan 1990-an.^[4]

Charles G. Koch dan David H. Koch, biasa dijuluki Koch bersaudara (Koch brothers), berafiliasi dengan yayasan keluarga Koch. Charles adalah satu-satunya anak Fred yang masih bekerja di Koch Industries.^[5] Charles dan David Koch telah membangun jaringan politik yang beranggotakan donatur-donatur konservatif. Keduanya menanamkan pendapatan mereka untuk mendanai iklan televisi dan multimedia.^[6]
