An 81-year-old billionaire has married a Playboy bunny and nude model 57 years his junior in a lavish European wedding.
Austrian trucking magnate Richard Lugner wed his 24-year-old bride Cathy Schmitz after only a few months together.
They married at Schönbrunn palace - a 1,441-room summer residence in Vienna - after becoming engaged in August.
It's the fifth marriage for the billionaire.
"Apart from the big age difference, everything fits," he told The Local before the nuptials.
"Hopefully, this time it's the right thing.”
Lugner is best known for inviting major celebrities to accompany him to Vienna's Opera Ball, including Kim Kardashian, Pamela Anderson and Paris Hilton.
His new bride posted on her Facebook page that the day was "an incredible and unforgettable experience".
