ALBERT VON THURN UND TAXIS (4 of 4)
Age: 20
Personal style: Stubbly charm. Albert doesn't worry too much about keeping up princely appearances, and has been known to save himself the bother of brushing his hair by shaving it all off.
The lowdown: Though his family are the very epitome of old money, Albert has never pursued the jet-set lifestyle. Indeed, the down-to-earth aristocrat prefers to spend his time playing the drums. And he's not above a hard day's work either – according to the German press, he spends the holidays working as a waiter.
Hometown: Regensburg, Germany.
Family: His father Johannes died when Albert was just eight years old. Since then his mother Princess Gloria has managed the family fortune for himself and his sister.
Where to find him: The family owns a 500-room palace in Regensberg. And don’t forget the luxury apartments in Paris and land holdings in Bavaria and Brazil.
Ex-girlfriends: Information about Albert's private life is hard to come by, but local reports say he's single. You'd better act fast, though, as he's unlikely to stay that way for very long.
Financial status: When he turned 18 last year, Albert inherited $1.5 billion.
What to avoid: Asking him about the family fortune. When his father died, he did not leave the estate in good order and a large proportion of the legacy was lost in debts and taxes. |
