ugg. 94 year old man weds for fifth time wants more kids. UGG


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.

It doesn't matter how much money he has, in a decade or two he will very likely be dead.

I don't think we have a right to say this is morally wrong and condemn her for it. It's her choice, she isn't a child, but a fully grown adult capable of making her own decisions. She very well could be marrying just for money, but that's her choice to and Mr. Wlaschek is likely aware of that risk.

(aside from give it to good causes, but they never seem to do that) Go Codger! If I didn't have a love o my life at that age I'd want to do the same. May he pass away with a smile on his face.

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

Also, wife says she is too old to have any kids. Maybe they can adopt, and good for them if they do.
