How Did Heidi Horten Die?

Heidi Horten died on Sunday at age 81.

The Horten collection said in a statement days after she opened a private museum in Vienna featuring her nearly billion-dollar art collection. Her cause of death has not been revealed yet.

Heidi Horten was an Australian billionaire and art collector. She was the widow of businessman Helmut Horten.

In May 2020, Forbes estimated her net worth at $3.0 billion. Horten inherited her wealth upon the death of her husband, the founder of the German department store business Horten AG.

In August 2019, it emerged that Horten had dispersed almost one million Euros in 2018 and 2019 to the Australian People’s Party.
