The Green Family’s Billions: From Garage Start-Up to Hobby Lobby Empire in Oklahoma

Despite their financial success, the Green family has encountered controversy, particularly over accusations of smuggling ancient artifacts from Iraq. Such scandals hint at the complexities that often shadow the accumulation of vast wealth.
