25 billion and he hits the wall at age 78? He could not do any better? I know I would. With even two million net worth. He should have taken up farming with Bill Gates
Did he get vaxxxed up the wazoo? Or did he get saline?
Mateschitz never married,[20] but had a son named Mark who was born in the early 1990s.[21] As of the time of Mateschitz’s death, his son was the managing director of one of his investment companies.[43] Mateschitz rarely gave interviews, and refused to answer questions about his son.[44] Mateschitz was in a relationship for two years with the mother of his son, and later had a long-term partner named Marion Feichtner.[44] He was known as a recluse, stating “I don’t believe in 50 friends. I believe in a smaller number. Nor do I care about society events. It’s the most senseless use of time. When I do go out, from time to time, it’s just to convince myself again that I’m not missing a lot”.[44]
He held a pilot’s licence and enjoyed flying a Falcon 900 and a Piper Super Cub.[20] He had his own hangar with a collection of old planes, including the last Douglas DC-6B to be produced, and which once belonged to Yugoslav Marshal Josip Broz Tito.[45]
Mateschitz and his Bundesliga club RB Leipzig faced backlash in 2017 over comments made in a Kleine Zeitung interview[46] in which he suggested that Austria should close its borders to refugees and expressed support for Donald Trump and other populist positions.[47]
Mateschitz lived in Fuschl am See, Austria but also owned the island of Laucala in Fiji, which he bought from the Forbes family for £7 million.[20] He spent millions on acquiring and conserving houses and castles in the Austrian Alps, saying “I want to enjoy these places myself, but I also want to take care of them”.[44]
He died following a long period of illness on 22 October 2022, at the age of 78.[48] His death was announced to the Red Bull team minutes before the start of qualifying for the 2022 United States Grand Prix.[49]
Cancer knows no age restrictions and no amount of money can cure everyone or Rush, Steve Jobs and many other would still be living.
He was an incredibly powerful voice for freedom and against the vaccine and vaccine mandate in Austria. He was personally responsible for firing multiple US executive level employees at Redbull when he found out that they were woke. We lost one of the good guys.
Apparently he didn’t get vaxxed at all.
Sorta wrecks the narrative, doesn’t it?
78 isn’t a bad run.
The evidence these days is that longevity is mostly genetics. One can eat “right” and do everything else, but when the body gives up, you’re done.
