An heiress asked a group of strangers how to give away her $27 million inheritance. They've now told her what to do.

• Austrian heiress Marlene Engelhorn asked 50 strangers to help distribute $27 million in inheritance.
• Engelhorn, whose ancestor was a rich industrialist, advocates for higher taxes on the ultrawealthy.
• The group proposed giving money to 77 charitable initiatives, including environmental and women's groups.

Earlier this year a 32-year-old Austrian heiress asked a group of complete strangers to decide how best to distribute roughly $27 million of her inheritance.

This week, the group "Good Council for Redistribution" (Guter Rat für Rückverteilung in German) reached a decision on how the money should be spent.
