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 , to 77 organizations, including social and climate groups, as
well as prominent left-wing ones. Marlene Engelhorn, 32, has spent years criticizing the birth lottery by which she inherited tens of millions and does not have to give any of it to the state, and calling for change. In January, she said that a panel picked by a pollster as representative of the Austrian public would decide how to distribute the sum, without any intervention on her part. The list of 77 recipients was announced on Tuesday.
Her grandmother Gertraud Engelhorn-Vechiatto married his great-grandson. When Engelhorn-Vechiatto died in 2022, Marlene inherited a large sum. One of the objectives the 50-person panel, aged between 16 and 85, aimed to support was “a fairer distribution of wealth, more transparency and reporting on that issue and better data on very large accumulations of wealth”, one member of the panel, retail employee Elisabeth Klein, said in a statement.
