Krupp." Arndt used his collective inheritance of around 3 billion DM from his father Alfried Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach to create the "Alfried Krupp von Bohlen and Halbach Foundation". However, the foundation decided to honor Arndt with a yearly appanage of 2 million DM. Because he waived his inheritance, he was also not allowed to use the family name Krupp, which was reserved to the sole inheritor of the family business. On 14 February 1969, he married Princess Henriette von Auersperg, the daughter of Prince Alois von Auersperg and the Countess Henrietta Larisch von Möennich. in spite of the fact that he was notoriously homosexual. Owing to generous compensation and appanage Arndt was able to live the jet-set life, flying constantly between Miami and Marrakesh. In 1982, he converted from Lutheran Protestantism to the Roman Catholic faith.〔http://strangeflowers.wordpress.com/2011/05/08/the-last-krupp/〕 At the age of 48 - being an alcoholic for a long time〔 - he died in his castle in Salzburg of jaw cancer.
