Marlene Engelhorn hadn’t given much thought to the wealth that surrounded her as she grew up. She always considered the fortune, inherited from Friedrich Engelhorn, the 19th-century founder of the German chemical giant BASF, to be her family’s money rather than hers.
I wonder who was worth about 13.5 million when this was passed.
I believe it was slightly lower, but Trump raised it (with his tax cut act maybe?)
