Billionaire owner of Porsche wants to divorce wife due to her DEMENTIA, claims he's 'close to' ex-model
ZELL AM SEE, AUSTRIA: A billionaire has initiated divorce procedures against his elderly wife, citing his desire to end the union as a result of her "dementia-like illness." Porsche executive Wolfgang Porsche, 79, has filed for divorce from Claudia Huebner, his wife of 16 years due to changes in her behavior after being diagnosed with the illness.
The couple started dating in 2007 but did not get married till 2019. Heubner, a grandmother who has battled the illness for the past two years, is cared for round-the-clock by four caregivers. She has apparently not been able to move independently for months and her mental state has seen a dramatic decline. She has reportedly been living with her daughter for two years.
