"Germany now boasts a record 256 billionaires, the highest number since records began according to Manager Magazin. The total wealth of the 100 richest Germans has nearly tripled since 2001, reaching €758 billion, while the combined asset value of the 500 richest stands at €1.16 trillion. More than half of those on the list now possess fortunes exceeding €1 billion."
"The list also highlights the enduring power of family wealth in Germany. Many of the country's richest families - including Würth, Liebherr, Miele, Siemens, Haniel, Oetker, Otto, and Kühne - have maintained their fortunes for decades. Beyond the top 10, the Braunbehrens, Bode and Sehe families, active in the defence sector, nearly tripled their wealth in the past year, while the founders of BioNTech, Ugur Sahin and Özlem Türeci, remain among the top 100, with assets rising to €4 billion."
