Robert Geiss was born in Cologne, Germany in 1964 and co-founded Uncle Sam, the first company to make clothing for fitness athletes and bodybuilders, in 1986.
Robert and his brother Michael sold their stakes in Uncle Sam after the company’s first few years were tremendously profitable.
Each of the two brothers was able to earn 70 million D-Marks, according to their own estimates (35.8 million euros).
How much money do the Geissens really have?
Robert Geiss, a well-known television personality, is a successful businessman. In 1995, Geiss made his money mostly through the selling of his shares in Uncle Sam, a newly formed sporting goods firm.
The father of two continues to earn a high annual salary of over 2 million euros. This is partly due to his involvement as a performer in the popular television show
The Geissen Family, in which the affluent family shows themselves to the entire German public. The assets of Robert Geiss are valued at 30 million euros.
