Geld: Der Millionenerbe, der die Millionen nicht will
Kai Viehof hat den Großteil seines Erbes ausgeschlagen, auch vom Rest will der Enkel des Allkauf-Gründers das meiste weggeben. Über einen Mann, dessen Beruf es ist, sinnvoll Geld loszuwerden.
Mönchengladbach - Kai Viehof, a self-made millionaire with a net worth of millions, stands in stark contrast to the typical millionaire archetype. Sporting narrow shoulders, a black T-shirt, a black shirt, a light stubble, and a ring in each ear, the 44-year-old Mönchengladbacher made a rare appearance on the ARD talk show "Hart aber fair" that discussed inheritance matters. Viehof, unlike a fellow millionaire entrepreneur from Neuss, maintained a more reserved demeanor.
Viehof's grandfather established the retail chain "Allkauf" in the 1960s, which he sold to Metro AG for approximately one billion marks in 1998. The fortune that followed was not one that Kai Viehof chose to claim. As a 44-year-old, he represents a new breed of millionaire in the ranks who do not seek to multiply their wealth, but rather to distribute it.
