German woman rejects $4.2 BILLION left behind for her by her grandparents
A 30-year-old German woman identified as Marlene Engelhorn has rejected $4.2 BILLION left behind for her by her grandparents who founded a chemical company in 1865. The unidentified lady said she doesn’t want the money! She says “I want it all to be taxed away!.. I’m annoyed”
The report was shared by Daily Loud on Twitter and has garnered a lot of frenzies from netizens who believed the German woman who rejected $4.2 BILLION made a wrong choice in giving money to the authorities.
When Traudl Engelhorn-Vechiatto passed away in September at the age of 94, she left Marlene Engelhorn, her granddaughter and heir, a tax-free inheritance worth billions of dollars.
The 30-year-old, who now calls Austria home, claimed she was not interested in inheriting the large sum of money generated by the family’s chemical company. According to Ms. Engelhorn, “the ideal situation would be for me to be taxed.”
Ms. Engelhorn has pledged to distribute 90% of her inheritance, and she wants the tax to fund state redistribution.
‘I am the product of an unequal society,’ Ms. Engelhorn said in her speech for the Millionaires for Humanity campaign in Amsterdam in August this year. ‘Otherwise, I couldn’t be born into multimillions. Just born. Nothing else.’
‘The wealth of the so-called top 1% is not just a large number, it directly translates to power over politics, economics, media & society,’ she added. ‘This power is out of proportion: in a democratic society, solidarity concerns us all. Wealth distribution strikes at the heart of democracy.’
‘I was born into a rich family and will one day inherit a fortune for which I never had to work,’ Ms. Engelhorn said in a video posted to Millionaires for Humanity’s Facebook in May 2021.
‘Millionaires should not get to decide whether or not they contribute in a just way to the societies they live in, and without which they would never have become millionaires.
Social justice is in everyone’s best interest. Wealth taxes are the least we can do to take responsibility. Tax us.’

In other news, two high school students in Iowa killed their Spanish teacher last year in retaliation for a subpar grade she gave one of the students in her class, according to prosecutors’ Tuesday filings in court.
For the first time since Willard Miller and Jeremy Goodale were apprehended and accused of killing their 66-year-old teacher Nohema Graber in the small town of Fairfield on November 2, 2021, the new information shed light on a potential motive.
On the afternoon of her murder, Miller and Graber had a meeting at Fairfield High School to talk about his subpar grade in her class, according to the investigation. Later that day, according to authorities, the teacher drove her van to a park where she was known to go for daily walks after school.
Graber’s brutally battered body was discovered in the park the following day, concealed beneath a tarp, a wheelbarrow, and railroad ties. Investigators believe Miller and Goodale, who were both 16 years old at the time, beat her to death with a baseball bat — and later bragged about it on social media.
Miller admitted to the police that he had been unhappy with the way Graber had taught Spanish and that the poor grade she had given him had hurt his GPA as a whole.
“The poor grade is believed to be the motive behind the murder of Graber which directly connects Miller,” court documents filed by Jefferson County Attorney Chauncey Moulding and Assistant Iowa Attorney General Scott Brown said.

A “roving group of masked kids” killed Graber and forced Miller to dispose of the body, according to court documents, even though Miller initially claimed he had no knowledge of the incident and did not take part.
Within a half-hour of the teacher’s arrival, witnesses saw two males driving Graber’s van out of the park. According to investigators, the van was left at the end of a country road, and the two teenage boys were found walking along the same road by a witness.
On Snapchat, Goodale allegedly boasted to a friend about the murder. A witness provided images of a Snapchat conversation in which the teen specifically accused himself and Miller of being responsible for the murder of Graber.
However, according to Miller’s attorney Christine Branstad, four search warrants were improperly obtained. She is requesting that the court invalidate all four of them and suppress evidence from Snapchat as well as from her client’s home, statements he made to the police, and data gleaned from his phone.
On Wednesday, a judge will hear arguments to determine whether to suppress any of the evidence. Both 17-year-old boys will be tried in adult court. Miller’s trial is set to start in Council Bluffs on March 20 and Goodale’s trial is set to start in Davenport on December 5.
