The billionaire with wife number five. (Foto © AP)If you had almost five billion dollars, what would you do? For Karl Wlaschek, the answer is marry a lot.
Forbes is reporting via Vienna News that Austrian retail tycoon Wlaschek will wed for the fifth time at the ripe old age of 94. His bride-to-be, girlfriend Friederike 'Ricki' Schenk, won't reveal her age, but is likely a good three decades behind her groom. That means Wlaschek, a self-made mogul, has defied stereotypes by proposing to a woman who's closer to his age than the average Hef-to-twin-sisters ratio.

She very well could be marrying just for money, but that's her choice to and Mr. Wlaschek is likely aware of that risk.

Of course he could give all away but a few hundred million and do the same, but again, they never seem to do that.
