The Prince of Liechtenstein Foundation (German: Stiftung Fürst Liechtenstein) is a portfolio of private companies, museums, and art collections owned by the Princely Family of Liechtenstein.[4][5] It is essentially a cap for a multitude of investments, such as the LGT Group, the Hofkellerei wineries, Wilfersdorf Agricultural and Forest Company, RiceTec, and real estate holdings in Vienna, Austria.[6] As of 2012, there were 15 companies and 2 museums owned by the Foundation.[6][7][8]

In late 2009, rumors speculated that the foundation was attempting to purchase rights to Vaduz FC.[9] However, this has never been confirmed or denied, as of late 2012.[10] The Foundation also plays national heritage and political roles, opening up a Liechtenstein culture museum,[11] selling the political books that support the princely family,[12] and funding right-leaning politicians.[10]
