Your post is inaccurate. The drink was invented by Chaleo Yoovidhya in 1976. Dietrich Mateschitz, the Austrian, partnered with Chaleo in the 1980s to found Red Bull as we know it today (he's also a multi billionaire). They both had equal stake in the company upon founding. Founder of Red Bull could apply to either guy since they had equal share upon founding, but CHaleo Yoovidya is more accurate since he was the actual guy to create the drink in the first place AND had equal founding stake.
And yes, I'm talking about the ACTUAL inventor of the drink, Chaleo Yoovidhya, not the guy who said "Hey I like your drink, let's market it around the world. I'll put up some money if you match my amount."
