Austrian Marlene Engelhorn, who inherited from her family who owns the Germany's chemical giant BASF, poses with a placard reading "Tax the rich!" at the entrance of the Congress center on the opening of the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, on January 15, 2024. In an open letter to political leaders gathered at the annual World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, the rich signatories said they wished to deliver a clear message: "Tax our extreme wealth." "We are surprised that you have failed to answer a simple question that we have been asking for three years: when will you tax extreme wealth?" But it will turn extreme and unproductive private wealth into an investment for our common democratic future."

Marlene Engelhorn, 31, is set to give away $27 million of her inheritance. She is recruiting 50 strangers to help her distribute the money to worthy causes in Austria. Advertisement"In Austria, the wealthiest one percent hoards up to 50 percent of the net wealth," Engelhorn said, per the Washington Post. Austria abolished inheritance and gift taxes in 2008, while the United States lacks a federal inheritance tax, with only some states imposing such taxes, the Washington Post reports. Wealth taxes are the least we can do to take responsibility.

Marlene Engelhorn, 29 de ani, știe de câțiva ani că va moșteni o sumă uriașă de bani. Traudl este văduva unui miliardar din Viena - Peter Engelhorn - a cărui avere a fost estimată de Forbes la suma de 4,2 miliarde de dolari. Peter, care a murit în 1991, a fost strănepotul fondatorului BASF, Friedrich Engelhorn, și a avut mai multe afaceri foarte prospere în domeniul farmaceutic. Marlenei îi revine din averea familiei o sumă în euro formată din 8 cifre - câteva zeci de milioane de euro - fără a preciza exact despre cât este vorba. Tânăra încă nu știe exact cum va proceda cu moștenirea, dar spune că va găsi o cale ca banii să ajungă „în societate”.
