Theo Albrecht Jr. is a German businessman, the billionaire Co-owner of Aldi Nord, one of the world's largest and most dominant discount grocery chains (operating across Europe and the U.S.).

• Privacy: The Albrecht family is notoriously reclusive, strictly maintaining absolute privacy and low public profile.
