Introduction

Stefan Raab became popular as a comedian, TV media celebrity host of the popular German show, Vivasion, and singer/songwriter.

He produced a well-known and popular German song poking fun at a soccer coach and became one of the most powerful personalities on German television.

Unfortunately, he has also gained publicity by insulting guests on his shows and referencing drugs, which ended in multiple lawsuits.

Despite his legal troubles, he built great wealth through his television business interests and clever investment strategies.

Stefan Raab’s net worth is estimated to be $160 Million.

Quick Facts

Stefan hosted the famous comedic German show Vivasion in 1993.
Raab taught himself to play the piano, guitar, ukulele, drums, and a variety of wind instruments.
In 2010, he was named the most powerful man in German entertainment television.
He invented a game show called Schlag den Raab in 2006.
In 2009, a wax figure of Stefan was put up at Madame Tussauds, Berlin.

Early Life

Stefan Konrad Raab was born on October 20, 1966, in Cologne, West Germany.

His family were the proud owners of a butcher shop and, while still young, he attended the boarding school, Aloisiuskolleg. He stayed at the boarding school for most of his schooling and when he was older, he helped at his family’s butcher shop as an apprentice.

He studied law but dropped out as he didn’t seem to be able to find his feet at university. Although there isn’t much known about his early life, what we do know is that he made a breakthrough in the music industry in 1990.

Career

During the early part of his career, Stefan performed at multiple Eurovision Song Contests and is known for his performance of the wacky song, “What do you have there?”.

He also released a song that was a spoof of the national football coach, Berti Vogts.

He gained confidence, hosting his own show in 1999 called TV Total. The show included different types of celebrity sports events, such as a boxing match against Regina Halmich, which Stefan lost.

The show also created new types of sports, such as the World Wok racing championship, and invented a sport that involved a version of football with exercise balls and cars.

Stefan didn’t stop there and invented his game show called Schlag den Raab in 2006.

Schlag den Raab (Beat the Raab) was extremely successful and sold in over 18 countries. Following this success, Stefan created another show called Bundevision Song Contest.

During his quick rise to fame on television, he became known as one of the most powerful men in German entertainment television.

Stefan then moved on to hosting the talk show ProSieben, involving interviews with political celebrities, in 2012.

In 2015 Stefan Raab announced that he would be retiring from television and decided to further his career in producing.

He has diverted all his focus to production work and his last appearance on camera was on the 19th of December 2015 in an episode of Schlag den Raab.

Since his on-camera retirement, he has gone on to produce multiple episodes for Pro Sieben, such as Das Ding des Jahres, Schlag den Besten, and his most recent Free European Song Contest.

As a singer, Stefan is big news in Europe, but he’s nowhere near as popular nor wealthy as Beyonce, Celine Dion, or Chris Brown, in the rest of the world.

Career Earnings

Stefan Raab struggled to find a career that would allow him to explore his talents, but when he did, he hit it big.

His songs were extremely popular and TV audiences loved his zany wit and wacky ideas.

There are no public records of how much Stafen Raab actually earned as a TV celebrity and host. However, his TV shows and songs were so successful that he was able to retire from hosting television shows and focus on his first love, which was producing new songs and shows.

Net Worth Annually

Here’s a breakdown of Stefan Raab’s annual net worth:

2014 – $135 million
2015 – $137 million
2016 – $140 million
2017 – $145 million
2018 – $155 million
2019 – $148 million
2020 – $150 million
2021 – $155 million
2022 – $160 million

There is little information available on Stefan’s wealth, but what we do know is that he is extremely wealthy, with various European sources calculating his wealth at between €80 million and €160 million.

Personal Life

Stefan Raab met Nike Raab in 1997, at a production company called Brainpool TV and got married in 2008.

The couple has two daughters but their names and ages are unknown. Stefan prefers to keep his personal life private and away from the media.

He’s gained plenty of publicity through multiple lawsuits, including a case involving Stefan ridiculing a model named Lisa Loch which resulted in the model receiving horrible phone calls and being mocked by people wherever she went.

The court ruled him guilty and ordered him to pay a fine for infringing her rights.

The next lawsuit was due to an episode where Stefan revealed a photo that was destined to be aired on the news.

He took a photo of a mother holding a cardboard cone with sweets and commented on drug trafficking. This did not go well for Stefan and resulted in him writing an apology and receiving a fine of 20 thousand Euros ($20,000).

Stefan is extremely close-lipped about his private life and you won’t find much on Stefan’s official Instagram account as he only has a single photo posted at the moment.

Awards & Achievements

Here are some of the more memorable moments from Stefan Raab’s career:

Stefan won a comedy award called the Rose d’Or in 2001.
In 2005 he was given the Adolf-Gimme-Preis award.
In both 2000 and 2005, Stefan was named the “Best National Producer” by the ECHO.
He was awarded the Bavarian TV Award while in the show, Unser Star fur Oslo, in 2010.
Stefan received the Golden Lion Award in 1996.

How Does Stefan Raab Spend His Money?

Stefan enjoys a high profile as a media celebrity and has invested in real estate as well as various companies.

He set up his own production company, Raab-TV, which creates a variety of mass-market television programs as well as political and social interest programs.

The production company was a subsidiary of a company called Brainpool which Stefan owned and which he sold for over 9.5 million Euros.

Stefan loves high-powered cars and has been seen in some of the most expensive cars in the world, and he probably needs them to get away from the press.

Summary

Stefan may have caused controversies by pushing the legal boundaries, but he still made one of the biggest impacts on the German television industry.

Not only is he a comedic genius, but he’s also an accomplished businessman who made millions with jingles and radio commercials, producing some of the best German television shows ever.

His fans wish that he would return to television, but he’s said that if he were to make a comeback, it’d be to produce a show and not host it.

Stefan Raab’s net worth is estimated to be $160 Million.

While we have precise salary information for approximately 26 films Julie Roberts has starred in, we also have estimates of her combined annual income history from all sources. From the figures above, it’s clear that for Roberts, the early 2000s were the peak of her career, with her earning as much as $50 million in 2000. She was somewhat absent from the industry in the mid-2000s, which led to a drop in earnings, down to an estimated $8 million/year for 2005 and 2006.

Between 2010 and 2018, Roberts typically earned between $12 million and $20 million annually, thanks to impressive paydays from Eat, Pray, Love, Mother’s Day, and Wonder. However, she was no longer commanding the $20+ million per film figure she used to.

2017	Wonder	$6,000,000
2023	Leave the World Behind	$25,000,000
Total Calculated Earnings:		$260,440,000

In the late 1980s, Julia Roberts earned under six figures per film, with paydays of $50,000 for Mystic Pizza (1988) and $90,000 for Steel Magnolias (1989). A year later, when she starred in Pretty Woman, which was arguably the film that launched her mainstream career, Roberts reportedly earned $300,000. The film’s success dramatically increased her earning potential, and before long, she received a $1 million payday for starring in Sleeping With the Enemy. That same year, Roberts also reportedly earned $3 million from Dying Young and $7 million from Hook.

In the mid-late 1990s, Roberts reached a stage where she was being paid upwards of $10 million per film. Her first recorded eight-figure payday came in 1997, when she earned $12 million for My Best Friend’s Wedding. To close out the decade, she received $11 million for Conspiracy Theory (1997), $15 million for Notting Hill (1999), and $17 million for Runaway Bride (1999).

As we briefly mentioned above, the early 2000s were some of the best years of Julia Roberts’ career. This is primarily due to her joining the $20+ million club with roles in Erin Brockovich, The Mexican, and Closer. During this time, her highest-recorded payday was $25 million for starring in Mona Lisa Smile (2003).

There was a short lull in the mid-2000s, but Roberts returned with a $15 million payday for 2009’s Duplicity, followed by $10 million for starring in Eat, Pray Love a year later. From then on, her earnings dropped to between $3 million and $6 million per film.

However, she recently made another comeback in 2023, starring in Leave the World Behind, for which she reportedly received $25 million. This brings Roberts’ earnings for all of her publicly known salaries, if we include her Homecoming salary (more on that below), to a total of $266.4 million. Of course, many films are missing from the list, so the actual number should be significantly higher.

Homecoming Salary

According to a report from Variety, Roberts was paid an estimated $650,000 per episode to star in Homecoming. They initially estimated her salary at $600,000 per episode in 2018 but increased this figure in their 2019 report. The show aired ten episodes in 2018, earning her $6 million.

Highest-Grossing Movies

The majority of Roberts’ highest-grossing films came between 1999 and 2001, the same period during which she made the most money. Those films include Ocean’s Eleven (2001), which grossed $451 million; Notting Hill (1999), which grossed $364 million; Runaway Bride (1999), which grossed $309 million; and Erin Brockovich (2000), which grossed $256 million.

However, none of those films performed better than 1990’s Pretty Woman, which grossed $463 million. The film only cost $14 million to produce, which gave it the highest ROI of Roberts’ career. Other films to make the list include Ocean’s Twelve ($363 million), Wonder ($315 million), and Hook ($301 million).

Here’s a complete list of Julia Roberts’ ten highest-grossing movies:

Pretty Woman – $463 million (1990)
Ocean’s Eleven – $451 million (2001)
Notting Hill – $364 million (1999)
Ocean’s Twelve – $363 million (2004)
Wonder – $315 million (2017)
Runaway Bride – $309 million (1999)
Hook – $301 million (1991)
My Best Friend’s Wedding – $299 million (1997)
Erin Brockovich – $256 million (2000)
Valentine’s Day – $217 million (2010)

Real Estate

The actress likes to invest some of her fortune in real estate, and she owns some incredible properties in the US. She also likes to spend her money on other lavish things, such as clothes. Julia Roberts is the proud owner of a $7 million mansion in Malibu and a lavish apartment in New York, worth a total of $3,8 million.
