Christoph Victorio Egon Humberto Prinz zu Hohenlohe-Langenburg (8 November 1956 – 6 August 2006) was a European socialite and member of the extended Agnelli family.[1]

Known as Kiko, he was born at Lausanne in Switzerland, the elder son of Prince Alfonso of Hohenlohe-Langenburg (1924–2003) and his first wife, Princess Princess Ira zu Fürstenberg, a niece of Giovanni Agnelli, the founder of Fiat.

He died on 6 August 2006 of massive organ failure a few days after being imprisoned in Klong Prem Central Prison in Bangkok on charges of suspicion of illegally altering a visa. His health had been weakened from a weight-loss regimen at a Thai wellness center.[2]

Before his death, he resided in Honolulu, Hawaii, also in Paris and Geneva, but was a citizen of Liechtenstein.[2]
