Dieter Bohlen fears tax quakes: Will he retain his assets?
Dieter Bohlen, the well-known music producer and juror, is currently worried about his assets. In an interview, the 71-year-old made it clear that the high taxes in Germany were giving him a headache. He already pays almost 50 percent in taxes and is forced to think about possible emigration destinations. Switzerland or Dubai could be attractive options for him if the tax burden continues to rise. These considerations are particularly explosive since Bohlen has been working as an artist and producer in the German music scene since the 1980s and has had a flourishing career that made him one of the most sought-after jurors on the TV show “Deutschland sucht den Superstar” (DSDS). That reports az online.
Despite the current worries, there is also positive news in the life of the entrepreneurially talented Bohlen. According to estimates, his assets are currently between 135 and 145 million euros. His annual income for 2024 is estimated at at least 10 million euros. He owes this, among other things, to his income from jury work on DSDS, where he earns around 1.2 million euros per season. He can also look back on earnings from over 180 million records sold. The music duo Modern Talking, which he founded together with Thomas Anders, has a considerable influence on his financial stability. FTD emphasizes that the income from royalties, GEMA and other music projects could protect his family for up to 75 years after his death.
A career with many facets
Bohlen looks back on a remarkable career. He was born on February 7, 1954 in Berne, Lower Saxony and began his music career in the 1970s. He enjoyed great success with “Modern Talking” from 1983 onwards, especially in Russia, where the hits are still popular today. Overall, he has produced an impressive portfolio of chart-topping songs. Bohlen was a juror on DSDS and “Das Supertalent” for many years, which further underlined his status in the German television landscape. He has now appeared in 18 seasons of American Idol and most recently in the 20th season in 2023, which underlines his continued commitment to the entertainment industry FortuneMagazine.
He is still having discussions about possible economic changes, and these could influence his future decisions. But one thing is certain: despite all the uncertainties, Dieter Bohlen remains an exceptionally successful artist who, with his skillful knack for music and media, always stays in the conversation.
