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, the German city, is home to Kai Viehof, a self-proclaimed anti-millionaire. In stark contrast to the typical millionaire image, Viehof is a modest figure, dressed in a black t-shirt and jacket, with a slightly stubbled beard and rings in both ears. He appeared in the ARD talk show "Hart aber fair" in the spring, discussing the topic of inheritances, and appeared much more reserved than his counterpart, a similarly wealthy electrical engineering entrepreneur from Neuss with a towering presence and coat pocket.
Viehof's grandfather built the retail chain "Allkauf" in the 1960s, which he sold to Metro AG for approximately one billion marks in 1998. The wealth obtained by the family. However, Kai Viehof declined his share when it was his turn. At 44 years old, Viehof is a new face among the ranks of millionaires who do not seek to accumulate more wealth but rather to distribute it.
Other members of this group include Sebastian Klein, author of the book "Toxisch reich," who became wealthy as a co-founder of the Blinkist app, and Marlene Engelhorn, who descends from the founder family of the chemical corporation BASF.
