Finances of the Kaulitz brothers - "Almost seven million? I love it"
Many millions exact to Bill and Tom Kaulitz's account since their initial successes with Tokio Hotel is unknown to many. However, the new reality-TV-show "Kaulitz & Kaulitz" on Netflix makes one thing clear: it was little. The series shows how decadent the life of the Kaulitz twins, who have been living in Los Angeles for years, has become.
First, there's Bill's private luxury villa, which he claims is the most beautiful thing he's ever bought. With modern glass fronts, a stone fireplace, and designer furniture, the house has some spectacular attractions. The next luxury item is named Lina. Lina is the personal assistant of the Kaulitz brothers and is even called by Bill during vacations when he doesn't feel like waiting for a doctor's appointment in the telephone hotline himself.
Other tasks of Lina: finding a location for the twins' birthday party, hiring a party planner for the same, finding a cheaper storage room for the twins' trophies, and cleaning and reminding Bill of his decision about which organs he wants to donate in case of his death and which not.
Many Employees: It's like a hotel with Tom Kaulitz and Heidi Klum
"I even go myself sometimes when I need something. Bill always sends Lina," Tom says casually as he consults a supermarket employee about an extra-sharp barbecue sauce for the teenage sons of his wife Heidi Klum. It's clear that, of course, it's not exactly modest in the Klum-Kaulitz household. "Tom lives the typical square life – just a little bigger," Bill describes it and reveals that there, the employees make the beds every morning, pick up hand towels from the floor in the bathroom, and take care of breakfast. It's like a hotel with Tom, Bill jokes. Heidi Klum herself fuels the luxury image: "I'd rather buy a bigger house before I have to get rid of something," she quips in the Netflix show.
As for house buying: A shopping tour, during which Bill manages on his own without Lina, is the one in New York for the real estate purchase. Together with Tom, they inspect a nice apartment – "I like the brick wall!" – and ask about the price only at the end of the tour. "Seven million? I love it!" the singer exclaims. Tom agrees: "Seven million for 4000 is actually not that crazy. Because the square meter size is huge, it's big." In passing, one also learns where Tom and Heidi apparently have vacation homes.
"Do you think we'll always live near each other?" Bill asks Tom. "Yes, I think so. Maybe that's also the reason why you're now looking for an apartment in New York," Tom answers. "And a house in Italy," Bill adds, laughing.
Tom keeps an eye on the Kaulitz finances.
Next to the earnings from Tokyo Hotel's musical successes, the Kaulitz-Brothers have built themselves a second lucrative source of income: themselves. Beyond the reality show, there are projects such as a marketing deal with McDonald's, jury duty on "The Voice of Germany," or their own podcast "Kaulitz Hills," which significantly fill the coffers. In truth, they have a joint account, but Tom is the one who keeps a closer eye on the finances, according to the twins. "That's why I still have a secret credit card that Tom doesn't know about," Bill lets the viewers know, as he covers a not-specified five-figure amount with designer clothing.
It's absurd when the two want to travel from Berlin to Bielefeld for a prize ceremony for a day. For the first time in their lives, they travel with the German train. Since the first train they booked canceled, the luxurious solution quickly comes up: A private jet to Paderborn. Cost: approximately 30,000 Euro.
Even their friends don't get left out when it comes to their generosity: For Bill's best friend's birthday, there's a Chanel tennis racket for two thousand dollars – vintage, of course, and the hotel bill for Heidi Klum's legendary Halloween party with the whole clique amounts to 5000 Dollars just for the drinks.
At the latest when Bill confesses on a camping trip that he has never grilled a sausage in his life or when the viewers can witness their clumsy attempt to make waffles themselves, it becomes clear: For Bill and Tom, it rained millions when they were still children. They don't have to live an ordinary life. But they don't have to.
