Termination: Richard Lugner’s widow now without a job

She used to work in a hardware store. Since her marriage to Richard Lugner, she has had a job in his shopping center. After the death of the social lion, this is over.

Six weeks after the death of Austrian socialite Richard “Mörtel” Lugner, his widow has to look for a new job. 42-year-old Simone Lugner was fired by the management of the “Lugner City” shopping center. Due to the realignment and reorganization of the company, the management of Lugner City has decided on various changes, a spokeswoman said. “One of these changes concerns the decision not to continue Ms. Simone Lugner’s employment relationship.”

Simone Lugner has had the job in the “Lugner City” with its around 100 shops since August 1st. But she admitted that she didn’t really gain a foothold there. “I kept asking what I could do and when we would distribute my tasks,” she told the “Kurier”. At first she thought that everyone was busy with the funeral and therefore hadn’t made any plans for her. “Of course I didn’t understand that in reality they had apparently been planning my exit the whole time,” she told the paper.

Richard Lugner married Simone on June 1st. It was his sixth marriage. It only lasted 72 days. The entrepreneur died in August at the age of 91. Lugner became famous beyond Austria’s borders, especially through his appearances at the Vienna Opera Ball alongside famous women. Every year he hired Hollywood stars for high fees to take them to the dance floor at the Vienna Opera. This year, Elvis’ widow Priscilla Presley was at his side.
