Hans Möller was the chairman of Ostbayerische Motorenfabriken for sixty years, steering it through the years of war and Soviet occupation, through Glasnost and Perestroika. A paragon of frugality, a man of rigid habits known to dine on cold kraut and a single sausage for breakfast and dinner, lunch always omitted. It pained him to part with a penny, and his company set the standard for efficiency.
After his death it was discovered that he had the largest private collection of European automobiles in the world, each car a peerless example of perfection on which no expense had been spared.
The Schlumpf brothers in France, in case you were wondering.
Good one, Randy, But then…WHATever.
Interesting tale. 🙂
To each his own priority. Good tale.
Interesting story, leaves you wondering about his self imposed frugality vs his lavishness towards buying cars.
Great example of misplaced priorities.
We all have priorities, though not all as extreme as his.
