"Biggest mistake"
Messner shocked by his children’s inheritance dispute
Extreme mountaineer Reinhold Messner is suffering from an inheritance dispute with his four children.
"Our relationship is strained," the 79-year-old alpinist told the magazine "Apotheken Umschau" in an interview published on Sunday. "The moment I distributed my material inheritance to my children and wife, the family broke up."
"Biggest mistake in life"
"The question of who got more was at the forefront and I was on the brink at 75," reported the South Tyrolean. He was "disappointed" by the behavior of his children.
It was one of his biggest mistakes in life to have left the majority of his fortune to his children in his will before his death.
Messner is one of the most famous extreme mountaineers in the world. In 1978, together with his climbing partner Peter Habeler, he was the first person to reach the summit of the world's highest mountain, the 8,848-metre-high Mount Everest in the Himalayas, without the aid of oxygen equipment. Messner was also the first person to climb all 14 eight-thousanders in the world.
