You’re joking, but quite possibly he’d not even want to buy the one.
The owner family is very reclusive after a kidnapping in the 70s - but we know at least that the founders were living relatively frugal.
Ownership of Aldi is by a handful of “stiftungen” - and one of the more recent judicial squabbles in the family were of one side accusing the other trying to pull more money out of Aldi than necessary to live a non frugal livestyle.
Don’t get me wrong - they’re billonaires, though probably quite limited liquid assets. But based on their behaviour they have a good chance to survive the revolution.
I think only one is currently still working in the company - but they do own it via a bunch of “Stiftungen”. IIRC that construct was selected back then to make sure that spoiled brats can’t fuck it up eventually.
No but the CEO had to cut down to just one new AMG Merc per year. It’s a doggy dog world out there
It’s “dog eat dog world”
I would much prefer to live in a doggy dog world than a dog eat dog one, but such is life

Do the Albrechts still own the company? The current ceo is unrelated from what I can tell.

I’m weeping having learned this
