Even Dieter Bohlen gave him many millions - the rip-off man of the century, Harksen, died unexpectedly. Jürgen Harksen defrauded German high society of millions before being convicted of fraud in 2003.

Harken is said to have collected a whopping 150 million over the years before he left for South Africa. After his imprisonment, Harkensen started a new life in Mallorca and opened the high-end restaurants “Nuru’s” and ‘Numi’. He suffered liver cirrhosis, which was probably due to high alcohol consumption.
