Billionaire Porsche Executive, 79, Wants To Divorce Wife, 74, Because She Has Dementia

Porsche executive Wolfgang Porsche has landed himself in the news, though the reason why might surprise him.

It turns out that Wolfgang has filed to divorce his wife, Claudia Porsche, because her "dementia-like illness" has "permanently altered" her personality, and he no longer wants to be married to her. Coincidentally, he's also been spending a lot of time with another woman who has been described as a "pal."

Wolfgang and Claudia have been in a relationship since 2007 and married in 2019.

Claudia has reportedly been unable to move without help for the last two years, and she has been receiving care from her daughter and from four housekeepers.

Wolfgang has reportedly been spending a lot of time with Gabriela Prinzessin zu Leiningen.

Gabriela has been married twice, first to Prince Karl Emich of Leiningen and then again to Swiss Karim Aga Khan IV.
