Radio presenter, television personality and advertising face: These are just a few stations in Thomas Gottschalk's career.
Nevertheless, his pension is surprisingly low.
Baden-Baden – At 72, Thomas Gottschalk is at an age when many others have already retired and are enjoying their retirement.
For the moderator, however, this does not seem to be the case.
He continues to be present in the media world - taking part in countless programs and continuing to present.
Thomas Gottschalk and his pension – he is entitled to 915.79 euros a month
If you pay into the statutory pension fund, you will receive a pension at the end of your working life.
How high it is depends, among other things, on the years paid in.
Gottschalk revealed his pension amount to the
Handelsblatt
almost three years ago: 915.79 euros a month.
He said: "I owe that to my permanent job at Bayerischer Rundfunk in the 1980s."
This means that Gottschalk receives an average of more than 300 euros less pension than the German average - in the new German federal states men receive approx. 1,350 euros pension.
With famous colleagues, such as pop singer Jürgen Drews, things are different, he should “not even get 200 euros” in pension, as TZ.de informs.
At the age of 72 he "obviously missed the official retirement date", now he wants to continue "until the doctor comes".
According to his own statements, he did not think about success when he was working, he would have “delivered everything he had done professionally for free” because he enjoyed it.

In various media, Gottschalk's fortune is estimated at 90 million euros, of which around 40 million are said to be invested in real estate.
Gottschalk, however, denies this in
the Handelsblatt
: “There is nothing that can harm people more in Germany than accusing them of insane wealth.
The only consolation would be to really be that rich, but I'm not."
