Was it the plethora of gunplay, admiration for a man who 'did it his way', the fantasy to live by your own rules and go down in a hail of bullets, or the feeling that Billy was his true Soulmate that attracted industry titan, union busting, government employee belittler, and GOP supporting corporate magnate William Koch to blow $2.6 million on a fading tintype of outlaw Billy the Kid? Oh, and the 'job creating' Bush tax cuts for millionaires helped Koch afford the high price to add the item to his private collection of knick-knacks.
Comments
William is 1 of 4 Koch brothers. He is not part of the conservative jihad being fought by his brothers Charles and David. He's more interested in the America's Cup than in politics, and like his other brother Fred, he has long made news in collecting.

There are four? I guess we are lucky that this brother is collecting pictures and not gold digging union busting crooked GOP politicians!

They are a collecting family...
David collects ballerinas (not that there's anything wrong with that...)
Apparently William collects models (again, NTTAWWT)
