He is still the CEO of Hobby Lobby and works six days a week, despite being a fervent Christian.
He won a Supreme Court decision in 2014 that exempted “closely held” businesses with strong religious beliefs from administering the morning-after pill to their employees.
Green and his family invested $500 million in the Bible Museum in Washington, D.C., which opened in 2017.
Thousands of smuggled antiquities have had to be returned to Egypt and Iraq by the Museum, which is chaired by Green’s son Steve.
