North Carolina retail magnate and conservative megadonor ('third Koch brother')

Art Pope is a North Carolina businessman who led Variety Wholesalers and served as state budget director; a longtime Koch network associate dubbed the 'third Koch brother,' he sat on the national board of Americans for Prosperity.
