25 million euros later
Engelhorn wants to work after distributing her inheritance
"I'm not interested in getting richer," explains millionaire heiress Marlene Engelhorn in an interview with krone.tv. Instead, she wants to be "like everyone else". To achieve this, her inheritance is to be "distributed" - by complete strangers.
Engelhorn wants to get rid of her money. For this reason, the millionaire heiress has founded the "Good Council for Redistribution" initiative. A citizens' council made up of randomly selected people is to decide what happens to her 25 million euros. Engelhorn held a press conference about this on Tuesday.
"Nobody looks the rich in the eye"
"People like to talk to rich people," says the 31-year-old, explaining her current presence in the media. Nevertheless, she does not want to distribute her money "in secret". "I think it's problematic when people with a lot of money secretly support what they think is great."
Nobody looks at the "rich": "They are not accountable to anyone and can therefore exert influence. We also keep an eye on the government."
Citizens' council should distribute money
Engelhorn is convinced that wealthy people are a threat to democracy. "I'm not interested in getting richer, but in dealing with wealth democratically." She justifies her decision to go public by saying that a body from outside society would be more sustainable.
Millionaire heiress wants to go to work
After the "redistribution" of her inheritance, Engelhorn wants to go to work - "like everyone else". She has yet to make the transition "into working life".
