Theo Albrecht,, German entrepreneur and billionnaire (Aldi Nord, Trader Joe's) died he was 88
Theodor Paul Albrecht, generally known as Theo Albrecht, was a German entrepreneur, who in 2010 was ranked by Forbes as the 31st richest person in the world, with a net worth of $16.7 billion died he was 88.[2] He owned and was the CEO of the Aldi Nord discount supermarket chain. In the US he owned the Trader Joe's specialty grocery store chain. His brother Karl Albrecht owns the Aldi Süd discount supermarket chain. The two chains originally were a single family enterprise until a friendly division of assets in 1960. Aldi Süd operates the Aldi groceries in the United States. So Aldi and Trader Joe's, while owned by the brothers, have separate and distinct ownership and operations.
In 1971, Theo was kidnapped for 17 days. A $4.67 million ransom was paid for his release.[3]
Both Albrecht brothers have been reclusive, Karl from before the kidnapping, and little is known about their private lives. The last published photo of Theo Albrecht dates to 1971, one day after his kidnapping. Another photo of the two Albrecht brothers together was taken in 1987 by the journalist Franz Ruch.[4]
