After prison, Alfried Krupp married Vera von Hossenfeldt, a longtime friend. Vera told Time Magazine that Alfried was “the only man I ever loved,” but she divorced him four years later. Alfried’s engagement ring for Vera was the 33.19 carat Krupp Diamond that later sold at auction for a record-breaking $305,000 in 1968 to Elizabeth Taylor. The movie star wore the diamond in nearly all of her movies and still wears it everyday, making it her trademark — it even appeared on her finger in an episode of The Simpsons.
