Who is he? Hola! magazine online site says he is dating Adriana Lima. They had a dinner date at a restaurant in Rome recently. Picture below is from hola.com

I think you mean Prince Wenzeslaus (alternate spelling: Wenceslas).

HSH Prince Wenzeslaus von und zu Liechtenstein was born in 1974. He is the second son of Prince Philipp Erasmus (a brother of Prince Hans Adam) and Isabelle de l'Arbre de Malander (who is a god-daughter of the late Queen Elisabeth of the Belgians).

His elder brither, Prince Alexander, married Astrid Kohl in 2003., and he has a younger brother, Prince Rudolf, b 1975.

Of all the "junior" Liechtenstein Princes, Alexander and Wenzeslaus have the highest profile in the European magazine (eg Point de Vue), whereas most of the (many) Liechtenstein Princes keep a very low profile, and are rarely photographed.

He was in today's 'Page Six', the (in?) famous gossip column of New York news tabloid The New York Post:

"DISCIPLINARIAN
ADRIANA Lima is about as passionate as a non-cellphone-throwing supermodel can be. Arriving late at P.M. Lounge at Friday's birthday party for her boyfriend, Prince Wence of Lichtenstein, part of the wealthiest royal family of Europe with $4 billion, she marched up to the birthday boy and slapped him across the face. (Maybe he forgot to send a car to pick her up.) "Then she went to the bar with a girlfriend," said a bystander. "Ten minutes later, she came back, picked up the prince's jacket, grabbed him by the arm and pulled him out the door." Presumably, they soon made up and the prince's birthday ended happily."

LOL it sure seems that way! I have to admit if I bumped into 'Wence' on the street I'd for sure <not> recognize him!

What really caught my eye was the $4 billion price tag the NY Post attached to his family's wealth. wonder if that's the whole, entire extended Liechtenstein fam. or just Hans Adam and his kids..
Also, if Wence is in NY, he's probably working on Wall St., as in, in the financial industry, I take it.

I don't think anyone has any idea of the Liechtenstein Family wealth distribution apart from the family themselves.

The House has very detailed family rules which form part of the Principality's Constitution, but internal finances aren't mentioned, apart from Part III, Article 12 (7) of the House Laws, which states the Reigning Prince's obligations:

"As Chairman of the princely foundations and as the usufructary of the family's assets, the Reigning Prince shall support members of the Princely House who find themselves in financial difficulty, insofar as the income from the assets so permits."

For the most part, the offspring of Hans-Adam II seem to have a pretty good hold of their careers. Or at least the male progeny with Alois being hereditary prince and Max and Constantin both having careers in investment banking.

Not sure about the extended family though. I'm sure they would receive aid if needed. Don't know if they are considered members of the Princely House.

Yes Kerry, they are. House Laws Part 1 Article 1 Nature and Membership:

(1) The Princely House of Liechtenstein is an autonomous family community established and organised at the level of the Constitution of the Principality, on the basis of the provisions of the dynastic statute hitherto in force. Its membership shall comprise members by birth or members by marriage.

(2) The Reigning Prince and all descendants in the male line of Prince Johann I of Liechtenstein (1760-1836), being issue of a recognised marriage, are members by birth. A princess whose membership is by birth does not lose such membership on her marriage...

(3) The consort of the Reigning Prince and the wives of princes are members by marriage, provided the marriage is recognised in accordance with this dynastic statute. Membership acquired through marriage is retained during widowhood.

According to the above article posted by jeneve valois, Wence is a billionaire in his own right. Or at least that's my take on it. If that's the case, this family has some deep pockets.

Adriana doesn't look all that great without make-up. JMO.

"Not marriage material for a Prince of Liechtenstein" or alternatively "Great! This will raise our profile and get us in the gossip mags!"

Warren, I believe you're 100% correct on this. We all know that they're a low-proflie family. I definitely can't see it happening either!

Did you read between the lines of that interview? "I have to say no." That was her answer about not having sex because she's Catholic. Oh please!!!
I'm not buying her act.

But yes, the Liechtensteins are Catholic.

I don't know if I don't believe her. Even though she is very beautiful and could pretty much have any man she wants that doesn't mean that she has thrown away her personal values.

I agree with grim. I have no reason to doubt her. If she's says she's a virgin, who am I to disagree? Why would she lie especially since being a virgin is quite an unpopular thing to claim? I do think she's living a double standard by posing very provacatively in her lingerie while being a virgin. But again, that's not up to be to judge.
