Confiscate My Wealth!
This is 30-year-old Marlene Engelhorn giving a recent Ted Talk…
Marlene Engelhorn is a multi-millionaire… worth maybe 50 million? I’d love to tell you that she made her money creating an app that changed lives. Or inventing the electric airplane…. but here’s how she became way richer than you. Are you ready?
Her grandma died.
At age 30 Marlene inherited a chunk of the family fortune … Her great great great great grandfather founded Germany’s biggest chemical company 150 years ago. They’re worth billions
So soon as they blew out the candles on her 30th birthday cake…. she met with the lawyers who told her … the money’s yours. Just enjoy yourself!
But Marlene was wracked with guilt. Knowing she did nothing to earn the money … while others starve and struggle.
So at this point, you expect me to tell you she’s giving it all away. Nope. Marlene says the world has enough foundations doling out money for pet poverty projects. Instead, she's launched a campaign for governments to levy a massive wealth tax. She doesn’t want to give it away. She’s making headlines ... demanding the government TAKE her money. And you say “whah… why the Government… “
And so she sits on her pile of cash too tall to count…. begging the government to take it … and level the playing field… You could call her a limousine liberal… crazy… or a poor little rich girl. Her response is that she's not smarter … better… prettier or more shrewd. She was simply created more equal than you.
