Dietrich Mateschitz 10 Fast Facts, Bio, Wiki
Mateschitz never married, but had a son named Mark who was born in the early 1990s. As of the time of Mateschitz’s death, his son was the managing director of one of his investment companies. Mateschitz rarely gave interviews, and refused to answer questions about his son. He remained a reclusive figure maintaining low profile despite his heavy involvement with Formula One. He was also known for his simplicity often seen wearing casual dresswear preferably in jeans and sunglasses. Mateschitz was in a relationship for two years with the mother of his son, and later had a long-term partner named Marion Feichtner. He was known as a recluse, stating “I don’t believe in 50 friends. I believe in a smaller number. Nor do I care about society events. It’s the most senseless use of time. When I do go out, from time to time, it’s just to convince myself again that I’m not missing a lot”. He held a pilot’s licence and enjoyed flying a Falcon 900 and a Piper Super Cub. He had his own hangar with a collection of old planes, including the last Douglas DC-6B to be produced, and which once belonged to Yugoslav Marshal Josip Broz Tito. Mateschitz and his Bundesliga club RB Leipzig faced backlash in 2017 over comments made in a Kleine Zeitung interview in which he suggested that Austria should close its borders to refugees and expressed support for Donald Trump and other populist positions. He went on to strongly criticize both the Government of Germany and the Government of Austria for their policies during the 2015 European migrant crisis. Mateschitz lived in Fuschl am See, Austria but also owned the island of Laucala in Fiji, which he bought from the Forbes family for £7 million. He spent millions on acquiring and conserving houses and castles in the Austrian Alps, saying “I want to enjoy these places myself, but I also want to take care of them”. He died following a long period of fighting pancreatic cancer at his home in Salzburg on 22 October 2022, at age 78. Dietrich Mateschitz was an Austrian billionaire businessman. He was the co-founder and 49% owner of Red Bull GmbH. Mateschitz worked in marketing for Unilever and Blendax. While travelling in Thailand, he discovered the drink Krating Daeng, which he adapted into Red Bull. He founded Red Bull GmbH in 1984 and launched it in Austria in 1987.
