Today, Ludwig Hofmaier can look back on a long and truly diverse career. The TV star is probably best known today as an antiques dealer and as a permanent member of the show “Bares für Rares”, but Hofmaier was already a real celebrity before that. He gained fame as a gymnast in his early adulthood, and after walking an incredible 1070 kilometers on his hands, he was nicknamed “Handstand-Lucki”. In the meantime, the celebrity also enjoyed success as a club and restaurant owner. Today, his fortune is estimated at around 5.5 million euros.

The Winnetou parody “The Shoe of Manitou” was released twenty years ago and catapulted the Munich comedian into the premier league of actors and cinema directors. Although the original actor Pierre Brice felt offended by the spoof at the time, this did not stop “Bully” Herbig from producing a sequel. The 53-year-old has long since become one of the most popular and richest comedians in Germany, creating, writing, producing and shooting films such as “Wickie und die starken Männer”. He can currently be seen as the host of “Last One Laughing” on Amazon Prime.
