Please Translate This German for Me

|

About a month ago, a writer for the German Stern magazine called to ask me some questions about Georg Schaeffler. Seems I’m still the only writer to have interviewed the low-profile billionaire. I’m an expert. So now the Stern article, about the Schaefflers’ business interests in Germany, had been published. And I need help translating the part wherein I shared my expertise with the people of Germany:

Tim Rogers vom “D magazine” aus Dallas war bisher der Einzige, der Georg Schaeffler interviewen durfte, in Gegenwart von Schaefflers Anwalt. Er sagt, er habe einen stillen ernsten Mann kennengelernt, der sich als Teenager zum Geburtstag eine Ausgabe des Grundgesetzes wünschte, weil er es so wunderbar logisch fand. Tim Rogers versteht nicht ganz, warum dem Schaeffler-Erben sein Reichtum so unangenehm ist: “He’s so German”, sagt Rogers und lacht.
