Körbel is a german family name, not a tschechosslovakia family name. Her father must have german ancestors. In Tschechoslovakia , formerly Böhmen (part of Austria), lived many german people since 13. century or earlier.

In Czech republic German surnames are very common and nowadays most bearer aren't German (and even before WWII not all were). It's because of hundrets of years of common history with Sudeten Germans, Austrians and neighboring Germany. (In Slovakia the most common surname is Horváth - Hungarian word for Croat - does it mean that all its bearers are Hungarians?). --

Connections of Madeleine Albright to Herbalife
In the entire Wikipedia article, there are no references to the connections of Madeleine Albright to Herbalife.
"Albright was a longtime brand ambassador for Herbalife Nutrition, a dietary supplement company. According to the
New York Post, she was paid $10 million for these efforts over six years. Below she can be seen enthusing about Herbalife in an infomercial, saying, “You have a great product. That makes all the difference. I’m a product of the product!”
Albright’s firm, the Albright Stonebridge Group, has used her diplomatic credibility to open doors for Herbalife abroad. She was particularly effective in getting Herbalife licenses in China, which takes a dim view of multilevel marketing companies, sources said.
In a 2016 settlement with the Federal Trade Commission, Herbalife
agreed to pay $200 million in response to charges that it had “deceived consumers” into participating as the dupes in a pyramid scheme."

See
WP:NYPOST. It's not a reliable source for politics, and the headline of that article claiming without any basis that Albright was "freaking out" shows why. That being said, there do appear to be some
WP:RS when I google "Madeleine Albright Herbalife", such as
[1]. So what can be said about this with RS? –
