The flamboyant Richard LLugner who drew tabloid attention to the fusty Vienna Opera Ball by paying millions to Kardashian-type celebs to turn out as his date, has pranced his final waltz.

A construction billionaire, Lugner married six times, lastly in June to a glamour model.

Austrian chancellor Karl Nehammer tweeted: ‘Richard Lugner was a successful entrepreneur and a dazzling personality. An Austrian original who never lost his way.’
