An 81-Year-Old Billionaire Married a 24-Year-Old Playboy Model
by Andy NeuenschwanderAge ain't nothing but a number...except that it is. It is a very important number.
It's especially important when you have an 81-year-old man marrying a 24-year-old woman, as is the case with billionaire Richard Lugner and his new wife, Cathy Schmitz.
Lugner, 81, is an Austrian entrepreneur who made billions through various business ventures in building contracting. Schmitz is a Playboy model.
"We did not intend to fall in love," Lugner said. "It just happened. Love knows no age."
This isn't the first time Lugner has made headlines for his love life. Back in February, he reportedly paid Kim Kardashian a tidy sum of money to attend the Vienna Opera Ball with him. His past dates to the ball included Paris Hilton, Pamela Anderson and Raquel Welch.
The wedding took place in Vienna, with the couple exchanging their vows and Schonbrunn Palace and traveling through the streets of the city afterward on a horse-drawn carriage
Best of luck to the couple, whose 57-year age difference will probably not affect their relationship in any way. Nope. Not at all.
