The worth of a Shakespearean tale, Red Bull's owner Dietrich Mateschitz dies of Pancreatic Cancer...
My mom always told me: Son Stop drinking Energy Drinks... they are bad for you and give you cancer! I have never really believed it... until now at least!
If the MULTI-BILLIONAIRE owner of Red Bull, that once claimed to drink dozens of cans a day, died of PANCREATIC CANCER... who am I to test my odds?
Just 7% of people with pancreatic cancer are alive after five years. The pancreatic cancer survival rate after ten years is less than 2%. Yet among these dismal statistics is a faint glimmer of hope.
OFFICIALLY TODAY I STOPPED DRINKING ENERGY DRINKS FOR LIFE!
Dietrich Mateschitz is an Austrian billionaire businessman and the co-owner of the canned energy drink brand 'Red Bull.' The idea of launching an energy drink in the European market hit his mind during a business trip. Mateschitz liked the taste of a Thai drink, which eventually became the formula for 'Red Bull.' He co-founded the company in collaboration with the owner of the Thai drink brand. 'Red Bull' turned out to be a cult in the market and subsequently expanded to the international market as well. On behalf of 'Red Bull,' Mateschitz has owned several sports teams and a few media outlets. However, 'Red Bull' has been dragged into legal issues several times in the past. Additionally, Mateschitz’s political views, which he exerts to influence other non-business areas, have made his company and other ventures face repercussions. Mateschitz is now one of the 100 richest people in the world.
Mateschitz was born on May 20, 1944, in Sankt Marein im Mürztal, Styria, Austria, into a Croatian family. He took 10 years to get a marketing degree from the 'Hochschule für Welthandel' (now 'Vienna University of Economics and Business').
Mateschitz's first job was at 'Unilever,' where he marketed detergents. He then moved to 'Blendax,' the German cosmetics company, which is now owned by 'Procter & Gamble.' Mateschitz’s job involved marketing of the 'Blendax' brand of toothpaste, for which he had to travel frequently. On one such business trip, to Thailand, he discovered a Thai syrupy energy-boosting drink named 'Krating Daeng,' which cured his jet lag.
Mateschitz liked the taste of the drink and decided to develop his own energy drink. Thus, he approached the owner of the Thai drink brand, Chaleo Yoovidhya, suggesting a partnership. They sealed a deal to share 49 percent of the company’s share each, while the remaining 2 percent was supposed to be given to Yoovidhya’s son.
Mateschitz thus launched his version of the canned energy-boosting drink, which is now widely popular as 'Red Bull.' However, in its formative years, there was no existing market for energy drinks. Mateschitz tapped the opportunity to launch a one-of-a-kind product.
Mateschitz; Yoovidhya; and Yoovidhya’s eldest son, Chalerm Yoovidhya, founded 'Red Bull GmbH' in 1984.
The berry-flavored 'Red Bull' finally hit the European market (launched in Austria) in 1987 and turned out to be a hit. The original 'Red Bull' mix was sweeter than the modern version, but the base combination has been the same, containing taurine and caffeine.
Soon, other companies started manufacturing similar drinks. However, instead of being threatened by that, Mateschitz was motivated. Subsequently, 'Red Bull' became a world leader in the energy drink market. 'Red Bull’ primarily earned profits from Japan and India.
Being a pilot and extreme-sports enthusiast himself, Mateschitz heavily marketed 'Red Bull' among extreme sports enthusiasts, which goes perfectly with its tagline. He wanted to create a cult following to promote the drink. Back then, social-media platforms were yet to be introduced. Thus, Mateschitz found out popular university students and paid them to throw parties in unusual locations.
Mateschitz supplied the students with enough 'Red Bull' cans to tie on the tops of their cars when they went back to university. The trend turned 'Red Bull' into a popular drink that was served in nightclubs.
'Red Bull' previously sponsored and owned over 60 percent of the 'Sauber Formula One' motor racing team but ended its contract with ‘Sauber’ at the end of 2001.
In November 2004, 'Ford' sold the 'Jaguar Racing Formula One' team to Mateschitz. The team was renamed 'Red Bull Racing' and won the 'Formula One World Constructors' Championship' and the ‘Drivers' Championship' for 4 consecutive years, from 2010.
In late 2004, Mateschitz bought the former 'Formula One' Austrian 'Grand Prix' host, the 'A1-Ring' racing circuit, and renamed it the 'Red Bull Ring.' The circuit re-opened in May 2011 to host the 2011 'Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters' season. Even though Mateschitz had announced he would not return to the 'Formula One' program, 'Red Bull' notified the 'Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile' on December 2012 that they would like to host a 'Grand Prix.'
In April 2005, Mateschitz bought the Austrian football club 'SV Austria Salzburg.' Then, in September, he collaborated with former 'Formula One' driver Gerhard Berger to purchase the Italian-registered 'Minardi' team from Australian millionaire and airline magnate 'Paul Stoddart' and renamed it 'Scuderia Toro Rosso' (''Toro Rosso'' means ''Red Bull'' in Italian).
In March 2006, Mateschitz bought the American club 'MetroStars.' Both 'SV Austria Salzburg' and 'MetroStars' were subsequently renamed the 'Red Bull Salzburg' and the 'New York Red Bulls,' respectively. In 2007, 'Red Bull' founded 'Red Bull Brasil,' a Campinas, Brazil-based football team.
In 2008, ‘Red Bull’ founded 'Red Bull Ghana,' a professional football club and academy. It was abolished in 2014. In May 2009, Mateschitz founded the German football club 'RB Leipzig.'
From 2006 to 2011, Mateschitz owned 'Team Red Bull,' which competed in the 'NASCAR Sprint Cup Series' and the 'K&N Pro Series East.' He is the owner of the German ice-hockey club 'EHC München,' known as the 'Red Bull München' since 2012.
In 2007, 'Red Bull Records' was launched. It was headed by a former vice president of 'Atlantic Records.' The most well-known group signed under the label has been the electronic-rock band 'Awolnation.' 'Red Bull' also owns a music academy, which has produced artists and bands such as 'Flying Lotus,' Hudson Mohawke, and Tokimonsta.
Mateschitz owns 'Servus TV,' an Austria-based channel managed by the 'Red Bull Media House.'
Mateschitz also owned one of Austria's top society magazines, 'Seitenblicke.' He, however, avoids the celebrity circuit and watches 'Formula One' races on TV instead. He has announced the launch of a German-language news site called 'Nä her an die Wahrheit,' meaning "Closer to the Truth,’’ which would support right-wing news.
Legal Issues
Mateschitz had to pull 'Red Bull' out from the German markets after authorities found traces of cocaine in the drink. The company, however, agreed to use coca leaves, but only as a flavoring agent, that too after removing the cocaine alkaloid.
Germany’s 'Federal Institute for Risk Assessment' concluded that the amount of cocaine in 'Red Bull' posed no serious health hazard.
Among several cases of 'Red Bull'-induced hospitalizations, there was a case of a 16-year-old girl who had died in Mexico after consuming the drink. Then, a woman reportedly lost her eye-sight after drinking 28 cans of the drink every day.
A Korean student, Jyong Chul Lee, at 'Cape Breton University' in Nova Scotia, was restricted after having a brawl in the cafeteria. The reports suggested that he was suffering from caffeine intoxication after consuming almost 500–600mg of caffeine a day, which resulted from 'Red Bull;' and hence had an emotional outburst.
In 2013, a lawsuit was filed against 'Red Bull' for false advertising, citing that the tagline “Red Bull gives you wings” was misleading. 'Red Bull' settled the case with a compensation of US$13 million forwarded to its American consumers and additionally offered US$10–15 million worth of 'Red Bull' products.
Mateschitz's personal views, too, have caused losses to 'Red Bull.' Several musicians and German music venues once boycotted its music academy event. Many high-profile potential interviewees have publicly refused to appear on 'Servus TV' shows due to the participation of staunch extremists.
Family & Personal Life
Mateschitz’s parents were primary school teachers. They separated when he was young. Mateschitz left his family when he was a teenager.
Mateschitzz lives in Fuschl am See, Austria, and owns Laucala Island in Fiji, which he had bought from the 'Forbes' family.
In 2013, Mateschitz bought a custom-made extreme submarine named 'DeepFlight Super Falcon.' It was meant for his guests at his Laucala Island resort. He is a licensed pilot and owns a private jet airport and hangar, exclusively for his collection of old planes, including the 'Falcon 900,' 'Piper Super Cub' jets, and the last-ever 'Douglas DC-6B' to have been manufactured. His collection of old planes is called the 'Flying Bulls.’ Besides the Douglas DC- 6B, his collection also consists of the North American ‘B-25J Mitchell,’ the ‘Lockheed P-38 Lightning,’ and more.
Mateschitz has not married but has a son named Marc was born in 1992, from a 2-year relationship with a former ski instructor named Anita.

Jerry Seinfeld's Productivity Secret Editor: When software developer Brad Isaac told us he had productivity advice from Jerry Seinfeld, we couldn't turn down the chance to hear more. Read on for the whole story from Brad. Years ago when Seinfeld was a new television show, Jerry Seinfeld was still a touring comic. At the time, I was hanging around clubs doing open mic nights and trying to learn the ropes. One night I was in the club where Seinfeld was working, and before he went on stage, I saw my chance. I had to ask Seinfeld if he had any tips for a young comic. What he told me was something that would benefit me a lifetime... He said the way to be a better comic was to create better jokes and the way to create better jokes was to write every day. But his advice was better than that. He had a gem of a leverage technique he used on himself and you can use it to motivate yourself—even when you don't feel like it. He revealed a unique calendar syste...
Jay-Z's Mercedes Maybach Exelero Price: $8 million Featured in his music video "Lost One," this car is truly one-of-a-kind . Made by Italian car company Stola, it was manufactured only once.

In Search of Lost Time by Marcel Proust Swann's Way, the first part of A la recherche de temps perdu, Marcel Proust's seven-part cycle, was published in 1913. In it, Proust introduces the themes that run through the entire work. The narrator recalls his childhood, aided by the famous madeleine; and describes M. Swann's passion for Odette. The work is incomparable. Edmund Wilson said "[Proust] has supplied for the first time in literature an equivalent in the full scale for the new theory of modern physics." Valentin Louis Georges Eugène Marcel Proust was a French novelist, critic, and essayist who wrote the monumental novel In Search of Lost Time, originally published in French in seven volumes between 1913 and 1927. He is considered by critics and writers to be one of the most influential authors of the 20th century.
