Chick-fil-A executives and brothers Dan and Donald Cathy run one of the most controversial fast-food chains around. Doing so makes them some of the richest men in the country.

The privately held Atlanta company is valued at $4.5 billion, according to research firm PrivCo. Don "Bubba" Cathy and Dan Cathy—he of anti-gay-marriage fame—each own a third.

According to PrivCo, that means the Cathys, sons of Chick-fil-A founder Samuel Truett Cathy, are worth $1.5 billion apiece.
