He seems to have led a rather desolate and scandalous life, esp. the orgies and the 2 deaths that happened in his houses (one girl died of an overdose of heroine and a man fell from the roof while on 5 times the lethal quantity of cocaine). Very sad for his parents, Fuerst Ferdinand and Fuerstin Elisabeth.

I was wondering if anybody knows how Fürstin Elisabeth Bismarck, née Lippens is related to Maurice Lippens. The CEO who was fired yesterday from the Belgian-Dutch bank Fortis.
And another thing, is she a countess by birth or a jonkvrouw? I get various awnsers to that after googling.

I found that she is his sister, they are both children of a Leon Graaf Lippens. They have a third sibling, Leopold Graaf Lippens who is mayor of Knocke.

As daughter of a "Graaf", in Germany she is considered to be a countess by birth.
