Billionaire Wolfgang Porsche marries Gabriele zu Leiningen

Gabriele Renate Homey, formerly known as Begum Inara and Gabriele zu Leiningen, has married billionaire and head of the family car company Porsche, 82-year-old Wolfgang Porsche.

The couple held a private ceremony in Salzburg, near the billionaire's family residence in Zell am See. The bride wore a white, layered chiffon dress with a bow at the waist. Her look was completed with white strappy sandals embellished with gemstones. Her engagement ring, featuring diamonds of varying sizes, also attracted attention.

Gabriele began dating the automobile magnate in 2023, shortly after his divorce from Claudia Hübner. The divorce received widespread media coverage, and the billionaire himself attributed his decision to the devastating impact of dementia on his personality. The couple had two sons. Wolfgang was previously married to German film producer Susanne Bresser from 1988 to 2008; they also had two children.

Gabriela Renate Homey, 62, was born into a family of German entrepreneurs and originally bore the surname Thyssen, taking it from her mother's second husband. She attended prestigious schools in France, Switzerland, and the United States. In 1991, Gabriela married Prince Karl Emich of Leiningen, son of the seventh Prince of Leiningen and one of the claimants to the Russian throne. In 1992, they had a daughter, Princess Therese of Leiningen, but they divorced in 1998.

In 1998, she married Prince Karim Aga Khan IV, the leader of the Ismaili Muslims and one of the world's greatest philanthropists. Following the marriage, Gabriella converted to Islam and took the name Inara, as well as the title Begum. In 2000, they had a son, Prince Aly Muhammad Aga Khan. The couple announced their separation in 2004 following allegations of the Aga Khan's affair with a flight attendant. Their divorce was accompanied by a division of their multi-million-dollar estate: the Aga Khan paid Inara £50 million. Afterward, she resumed using her first husband's surname.
