94-year-old mogul is marrying for fifth time and wants kids

4/17/2012

​Austrian supermarket titan Karl Wlaschek may be the Austrian version of Donald Trump: He's worth around $6 billion, is about to be married for the fifth time, and says he hopes to spawn "another five or six children, at the very least." (That last item might have been a joke). Oh, and he's 94 years old. Consider it an all-around never-say-die philosophy from the founder of the Billa supermarket chain, one of Europe's biggest. Fun fact: Wlaschek met his fiancée at an event in Vienna and bonded when they realized that "her former husband and his last wife" had died on the same day.
