Reuters —An heiress who has denounced the absence of taxes on wealth and inheritance in Austria has given the bulk of her money, 25 million euros ($27 million), to 77 organizations, including social and climate groups, as well as prominent left-wing ones. A spokesman said the 25 million euros was “the overwhelming bulk” of her wealth, though she retains an undisclosed sum. Engelhorn is a descendant of Friedrich Engelhorn, who founded German chemicals giant BASF in 1865. When Engelhorn-Vechiatto died in 2022, Marlene inherited a large sum. “Now, it is up to the political actors to do justice to what this group representative of the Austrian population has embodied,” Engelhorn said, calling for more debate on these issues.

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”.
