Mark Mateschitz is the only child of the late Austrian billionaire Dietrich Mateschitz, who cofounded energy drink firm Red Bull in 1987. He inherited his father's 49% stake in Red Bull after the elder Mateschitz died in October 2022 at the age of 78. Dietrich Mateschitz cofounded Red Bull with Thai businessman Chaleo Yoovidhya (d. 2012). Red Bull sold 12.1 billion cans worldwide in 2023, enough to caffeinate every person on the planet. After his father's death, Mark Mateschitz stepped down from his role as Head of Organics at the $11.4 billion (2023 sales) company to concentrate on his role as a shareholder.

“I don't believe in being both an employee and a shareholder in the same company. I will concentrate on my role as a shareholder, interpret it and contribute in a way that I consider sensible and necessary.”
