Adolf Merckle, one of Germany’s wealthiest men, committed suicide after weeks of talks with creditors designed to save his businesses from being consumed by disastrous investments and the global financial crisis.
The billionaire, 74, was said by his family to have been “broken” by the sight of his business empire, which ranged from pharmaceuticals to cement, crumbling. He died on Monday evening, apparently hit by a train a few hundred metres from his home in southern Germany.
His personal worth was estimated at more than $9bn by Forbes magazine, while his companies’ combined turnover was €30bn ($40bn), and he was described as Germany’s fifth richest man.
hmmmm, Can't imagine that you went from a $40Billion to $0 balance in your bank account... Was it really so bad you had to throw yourself in front of a train... These mutha' fucka's is trippin', according to my bank account balance I should have ended it all Loonnngggg agooooooo...
