Austrian billionaire Richard Lugner has died at 91 years old. The construction mogul and socialite passed away on Aug. 12 at his Vienna estate following health issues including a recent heart surgery, per multiple reports. Lugner’s death comes just weeks after he married his sixth wife, 42-year-old Simone Reiländer, who mourned the loss in a heartfelt Instagram post. “You were the dream of my life. And when I saw you shine at the sight of me, then I knew that I was yours too. In love,” she wrote in a caption translated from German. She and Lugner tied the knot in June and frequently appeared together on her social media, most recently on Aug. 5. Lugner was known for welcoming high-profile women including Jane Fonda, Goldie Hawn, Priscilla Presley and Paris Hilton as his guests for the Vienna Opera Ball over the years. He also ran for President twice as an independent candidate in 1998 and 2016. In addition to Simone, he is survived by his four children.
