Austrian Billionaire Richard Lugner, 81, marries 24-year-old Playboy model

  An aged Austrian billionaire who once called Kim Kardashian "annoying" has married for the fifth time — to a 24-year-old Playboy model.

Richard Lugner, 81, tied the knot with fiancee Cathy Schmitz at a palace on Saturday, claiming "hopefully, this time it's the right thing.”
The pair have been dating since February.



  Prior to the pair getting hitched, Lugner said "apart from the age difference, everything fits," reported The Local.
Lugner is famous in his home country and has come to prominence by inviting global celebrities to the annual Vienna Opera Ball.



Stars who he has invited include Raquel Welch, Farrah Fawcett, Pamela Anderson and Paris Hilton.

In February, he paid $500,000 to take Kim Kardashian to the ball, but soon regretted his choice of partner.

He called her "annoying" because she concentrated too much on being filmed.

She also apparently turned down his invitation to dance, instead spending time with mom Kris Jenner.

Kardashian ended up storming out of the ball following a racism row, after she was approached by a man who had painted his face black.
