  "account": "Kai Viehof, a self-made millionaire, is a new face among the wealthy in Mönchengladbach who prefer to distribute their wealth rather than accumulate it. At 44 years old, Viehof was one of the few millionaires featured on the ARD talk show \"Hart aber fair\" in the spring, discussing the topic of inheritance. Unlike others in his position, Viehof turned down his share of his family's inheritance, which was a result of his grandfather's business, Allkauf, which was sold to Metro AG for about a billion marks in the 1990s. Now, Viehof is openly speaking about the issue of money distribution and committing to donating or investing more than eight-eighths of the medium-sized million he received from his family in a socially responsible venture.",
  "summary": "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.",
