Since the beginning of 2022, Mateschitz junior has been on the board of the Red Bull Wings for Life Foundation, run chiefly by his mother, Anita Gerhardter. According to some reports in the Austrian newspaper Kurier, his classmates have described him as “bright and sports-oriented, with many interests.”

Photos of him are scarce and interviews even more so. As a child, only his middle name, Dietrich, suggested a link with the prominent Red Bull co-founder, and many thought he would grow up safe from the spotlight. But after finishing his degree in business administration, the young man began to use his father’s surname and appeared in senior positions in Red Bull companies. Mark, now 30, kept a low profile during his childhood and teenage years, growing up with his mother’s surname. The reason is that this decision depends on the powerful Thai family who helped create the company, and whose fortune is estimated at more than €26.6 billion, the second biggest in Asia, according to Forbes magazine. In Austria, Didi Mateschitz’s son Mark has always been considered a possible successor, but although he will inherit a considerable fortune estimated at around €25 billion, it is uncertain whether he will be able to follow in his father’s footsteps.
