According to some reports, Fritzl was pretty prosperous, having owned a number of properties, a Mercedes, and was known to wear nice clothes:
In addition to his electrical engineering business, Mr Fritzl also dabbled in property management. He is known to have owned at least one other house in Amstetten, where he spent weekends with his wife and the three adopted children.

Mr Fritzl had planned to tear down the house and erect a block of flats and offices with an underground garage, but his neighbours had taken legal action to prevent the project.
Franz Polzer, head of the Lower Austrian Bureau of Criminal Affairs, said today that it was "more than unlikely" that Mr Fritzl maintained other secret prisons, but police had to check as a precaution. "We believe he was so busy with his crime that he wouldn’t have time for anything else," Mr Polzer said.
He built the cellar in 1983, a year before he abducted Elisabeth.
A school friend of Elisabeth's recalls how strict her father was.
Fritzl is supposed to appear in court today.
The victims were reunited at a psychiatric clinic, according to this report.
This news just came in that Josef Fritzl is indeed the father of the six surviving children of Elisabeth Fritzl, according to DNA tests.
