Three of the four children of Danish billionaire Anders Holch Povlsen died in the Sri Lanka bombing attacks, a spokesman has confirmed to the BBC.
The family were visiting the country over the Easter holiday. The names of the children have not been made public.
Mr Holch Povlsen owns the international clothing chain Bestseller.
He is also the biggest single shareholder in clothing giant Asos and is the UK's largest private landowner, according to the Times newspaper.
"Unfortunately, we can confirm the reports," a Bestseller spokesman said in an email. "We ask you to respect the privacy of the family and we therefore have no further comments."

It’s definitely not a place new to terrorism that’s for sure.

Sorry for his loss, truly. But how is it any worse than the hundreds of others?

If he weren’t a billionaire would you still say that?
Posted on 4/22/19 at 9:53 am to The Egg
Maybe he will put some of his money to work to fight back

Losing three kids at once in unthinkable, at least for me.
Doesnt lessen the other lives lost, however.

So sad

It's not different but having three kids murdered at once has got to be rough for anyone. Including billionaires.

They need to investigate the 4th child.

will they be doing an individual headline for the hundreds of others who died? Its bad and all, but how is this any worse than the others who died

it's just spice for a tragic story as journalists are fond of doing....

That is an unimaginable pain for any parent.

Rich people find the biggest shitholes as travel destinations

Suffering and death come for us all. It’s just a matter of when and what we learn from it. Nobody is insulated from suffering and nobody escapes alive.

How many of the other 100s lost 3 of their 4 children?
Im fine with them using a more known person, which angers more people against terrorism because they can relate to a victim.
