Even the wealthiest people in the world can be hopeless
romantics. Austrian billionaire Karl
Wlaschek plans to get married in the next few days, according to the Vienna
Times and Forbes. Ordinarily, this news might not be such a surprise, but Wlaschek is an
amazing 94 years old, and this will be his fifth marriage.
Wlaschek is the fifth-oldest billionaire in the world after
only Walter Haefner, David Rockefeller Sr., Albert Ueltschi, and Kirk
Kerkorian. He founded the Austrian retail chain Billa and sold it for about $1
billion in 1996, after more than four decades of ownership. Since then,
Wlaschek has invested heavily in prime Austrian real estate and is now one of
the largest private real estate owners in the country….
