Baron Heinreich von Thyssen Bornemisza, a steel industrialist who estimates his wealth at $560 million, was married Friday for the fifth time.

Thyssen wed 42-year-old Carmen Cervera, the 1961 Miss Spain and widow of Tarzan actor Lex Barker, in a ceremony in a flower-bedecked registry office in this central English town.

Among the witnesses were Henry Ford II, son of the founder of Ford Motors, and the Duke of Badajoz, brother-in-law of King Juan Carlos of Spain. A reception followed at Thyssen’s Gloucestershire home.

A much publicized divorce last year on the grounds of admitted adultery by the Dutch-born Thyssen, 64, resulted in an undisclosed British court settlement for his wife of 17 years.

The baron’s art collection is considered one of the most valuable in private hands and has recently toured U.S. and European museums.
