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, Germany - Kai Viehof, a mere 44-year-old man, might be an image-book millionaire, but he certainly does not fit any clichés associated with the wealthy. Standing at slender shoulders, he appears in a black T-shirt and pants, sporting a thin beard and a ring in each ear. Viehof was notably modest in a recent ARD talkshow, "Hart aber fair," discussing the subject of heirs, adopting a more reserved demeanor compared to another wealthy entrepreneur in Neuss.
His grandfather established the retail chain "Allkauf" during the 1960s, which was sold to Metro AG for approximately one billion marks in 1998. While the family received the proceeds, Viehof declined his share when it was his turn. This Mönchengladbach resident is a fresh face among the exclusive group of millionaires who prefer to distribute their wealth rather than accumulate more.
Fellow members of this exclusive club include Sebastian Klein, the author of the book "Toxisch reich" and co-founder of the Blinkist app, as well as Marlene Engelhorn, whose family lineage traces back to the BASF chemical corporation.
