Austrian billionaire Richard Lugner, famous for paying celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Pamela Anderson, and Ivanka Trump to accompany him to high-profile events, passed away on Monday at the age of 91. The prominent entrepreneur, who recently married his sixth wife, Simone Reiländer, just two months ago, reportedly died at his villa in Vienna.
According to multiple reports, first responders rushed to Lugner’s residence but were unable to revive him. Lugner and Reiländer, who had a 49-year age gap, were married in a ceremony at Vienna City Hall in June, with 50 guests and 30 members of the press in attendance.
The “House Party” actress alluded to her sex life with Lugner, telling local media after their wedding that they “had a very long wedding night. Longer than the wedding day.”
Lugner was reportedly hospitalized shortly after their nuptials after experiencing crippling back pain, The Sun reported on June 21. He blamed the injury on his exercise bike and had to get daily numbing injections from a pain therapy specialist.
His health continued to decline on July 12 when he was rushed to the Vienna General Hospital due to a ruptured heart valve.
After the health scare, Lugner revealed that his funeral arrangements had been planned and his tombstone was already ordered.
“I wanted to have everything arranged. My heirs should know what to do,” he told reporters at the time.
Lugner recently revealed that Reiländer had fully taken over his business operations.
“My wife wears the pants now. She should support me actively. From now on, we will share my work,” he said, calling her the “sole boss” of his empire.
He is survived by four children from three previous relationships: Alexander, Andreas, Nadin and Jacqueline.
