German-Austrian Marlene Engelhorn (32) has inherited a fortune from her grandmother. She believes that she has done nothing to deserve it and also finds it intolerable that she is not riddled with taxes in a society where the rich are getting richer.

At 29 she already declared that she would get rid of 90% of the money if, when the time came, she did not change the tax situation for the rich. Marlene's activism was known and she has taken advantage of it to keep her cause alive in the media.
