It seems the
‘Who is Who’ from across the world are flocking to the nature-rich Kerala, known
as the cradle of Ayurveda, to have a first-hand experience of the ancient
healing system.
After the
Ayurveda treatment helped restore vision of the daughter of former Kenyan Prime
Minister Raila Odinga, another billionaire has touched down the state to avail treatment
under the traditional medicinal system.
Friedrich Christian Flick (78), the grandson of Friedrich Flick who helped the Nazi
regime by providing weapons and money, reached God’s Own Country on a
special chartered flight the other day.
Flick is a
noted Swiss art collector and the heir to the traditional German industrial
family. His net worth is estimated to be USD 10 million. He owns a huge
collection of artworks worth Rs 8200 crore.
Flick, a law
graduate, inherited the family business after his studies. He founded one of
the world’s leading modern art collections ‘The Friedrich Christian Flick
Collection’. It encompasses around 2500 works by 150 noted artists.
“Flick is
undergoing treatment at an Ayurvedic centre in Paravur, Kollam. The treatment course
will extend over a few days. The flight will remain at Thiruvananthapuram
airport until his treatment gets over,” said an airport official.
Flick, along
with his wife, arrived on Vistajet’s VJT 199 Bombardier Global 6000 flight,
considered the most advanced and accomplished long-range premium flight.
