He doesn't only collect. He also makes business within the antiques area. Investing in large quantities and selling them on a re-valued basis, after classifying them. One of his best customers is the Government, which buys
him collections for museums and the like.
He also has two shops, with all kinds of ancient coins, maps, books, guns and other antique curiosa.
He descends from an old German family of diplomats, probably he was born with some wealth and estate.
