For Simone "Bienchen" Lugner, 2024 is increasingly turning into a horror year. In the summer, she married the wealthy Austrian entrepreneur Richard Mörtel Lugner in a pompous ceremony in Vienna. Just 72 days later, Richard Lugner died at the age of 91.

Only recently, Simone Lugner was given notice at Lugner City. Lugner's daughter Jacqueline, of all people, who is part of the management, signed the notice. The reason: Reorganization.

Now Simone Lugner has told "rtl.de" in a new interview that she is desperate: "I didn't expect it at all [...] I was simply shocked!"

Now all Simone Lugner has left is the house they share - and that too is now at stake.

Simone Lugner: "You have to be able to afford it"

Lugner's widow Simone has clear words about her situation: "But everyone knows that I'm still in his house, which costs a lot and how it's all supposed to work out. So I've already seen the word 'existence-threatening' in my mind."

She adds: "It's not looking so good at the moment, because you can want what you want, but you have to be able to afford it."

Simone Lugner is therefore facing an uncertain future, as she has no financial security without a permanent job.

Lugner's family clan is currently waiting for the will to be opened to find out what happens next.
