This is how much the Geiss family's fortune would be worth in 2025.
Robert and Carmen Geiss have been sharing their luxurious lifestyle with television viewers for more than ten years. In the reality documentary "The Geissens - A Terribly Glamorous Family," they and their two daughters provide a skillfully staged glimpse into their jet-set everyday life. The 22nd season airs on RTLZwei starting Monday – and this raises the question: How did the Geissens become so rich?
Geiss, the son of a fairground outfitter, joined the family business after completing secondary school and completed an apprenticeship as a businessman. Together with his brother, he founded the bodybuilder clothing brand "Uncle Sam" in 1986. According to their own statements, they sold the company in 1995 for 140 million German marks and split the proceeds. Shortly before, Robert Geiss had married fitness trainer Carmen Schmitz. The couple have lived in Monaco for almost 30 years, which should be quite advantageous from a tax perspective. In November 2022, the entrepreneur and reality star estimated his assets at 100 million euros. "That's my pension, that's the basis for me to live a peaceful life even at the age of 70," the 59-year-old said in the "OMR Podcast." Carmen Geiss recently dismissed doubts about her large bank balance in the "Bild" newspaper: "I don't comment on such media reports anymore. I've developed a thick skin. I know it's not true." Geiss never tires of emphasizing that he earned his money himself. Or as he put it in one of the first episodes: "If you don't do your homework, you don't ride a jet ski!" According to "Bild," the Geissens own a home in Monaco, a villa in the South of France, and a chalet in the French Alps. The couple recently bought a more than 500-square-meter apartment in Dubai to spend the winter months there. One lucrative source of income is the docu-soap. The production company behind the format belongs to the Geissens, and Carmen is its managing director. In 2002, Robert Geiss said that the family earned 60,000 euros per episode – for the season broadcast that year alone, that would amount to almost 2.3 million euros.
In May 2015, Geiss opened a luxury hotel near Saint-Tropez on the Côte d'Azur and named it "Maison Prestige." It is operated by "Roberto Geissini," under which the Geissens also market a fashion brand. The two are said to be active in the real estate business, buying properties and reselling them at a higher price after renovation. The family is likely to have earned significant income from their advertising contracts.
Robert Geiss is also active on the stock market – although not always successfully. "Wirecard cost me money. But thank God it was only a few hundred thousand that were gone," he said on the "OMR Podcast." As Business Insider reported last spring, other family businesses weren't going well either. Only the Geissens know how much money the family actually has. "We have a joint account. No matter who earns how much, everything goes in there - and out again," Carmen told Bild. "We both know: you should always earn more money than you spend. We've lived by that motto our whole lives," said Robert. "Of course we spend a lot of money when we buy houses or jewelry. But we invest wisely. And we know what a pound of butter costs. That's how we were raised at home. We weren't born millionaires."
One could therefore assume that the Geissens' current fortune is around 150 million euros.
