Bastian and Maria Yotta Net Worth
Bastian & Maria Yotta's Net Worth as of 2024
$1 Billion
Bastian Yotta was born in 1977, in Munich, Germany, – Maria in 1988 – and is an entrepreneur noted for his beauty products and life-coach businesses, and software companies, but becoming better known for ‘being famous’, a situation brought about by his and his wife’s extravagant and ostentatious lifestyle which they now live in Beverley Hills, California.
So just how rich are Bastian and Maria Yotta? Authoritative sources estimate that the couple’s net worth approaches $1 billion, reportedly earned through cosmetics products, and providing self-help and weight-loss advice on their website. They claim that their lifestyle costs them $100,000 a month, including rent per month of $34,000. Assets include cars worth an estimated $1.3 million: three are a Ferrari 458, a Bentley Continental Sport and a Lamborghini Aventador, plus a private jet.
Bastian and Maria Yotta Net Worth $1 Billion
Bastian has been described as a ‘cosmetics tycoon’, in which he has earned the majority of his wealth. Three major products are Global Skin, including devices for cavitation, IPL devices, tattoo laser devices. Secondly GIBacon, only founded in 2014 by Bastian Yotta, which is a software provider described as helping “generations connect” through easy-to-use audio and visual devices, and aimed particularly at senior citizens who may be unused to the world of modern technology, such as computers and smart ‘phones, enabling them in many cases for the first time to see and share pictures, comment, chat, text and take part in video conferences. It is also an emergency call facility. Thirdly is a publication called Mindslimming, which is described in advertising as a ‘revolutionary way to lose weight’.
Much of the Yotta’s business nowadays is conducted through their brand website on Instagram, which has over 300,000 followers at the last count.
Bastian describes himself just a few years ago as ‘fat and unfit’, but Arnold Schwarzenegger was his idol, and in terms of possible lifestyle, gained inspiration from ‘Superman’. His attitude became ‘if you want it bad enough, you will get it’, which was apparently not welcomed in Germany – Bastian describes being ‘hounded out’, perhaps because of envy – but totally understood and accepted in Los Angeles.
Bastian and Maria moved to the USA in 2014, and held a house-warming party which apparently numbered 350 guests – a star attraction was a caged lion. However, parties for 50+ people are said to be not uncommon. Bastian proudly states that he was “obsessed with “Baywatch” when young, and has now created his own.
The couple have launched a competition on their Instagram site for young women who want to get ahead in the world of glamour. They will invite 10 women to their home to learn how to live the ‘Yotta Lifestyle’.Quite what that means in practice is uncertain, especially if you don’t possess the kind of bank balance similar to that of the Yotta’s – Maria apparently often spends $50,000 a month are clothes.
One main ambition of the Yotta’s now is to create a reality TV show based on the life-coaching going on in their mansion. The ’10 beautiful women’ staying in ten rooms learning how to achieve life goals will be the focus of the series. However, Bastian states that this will not be another Playboy mansion – Hugh Hefner is apparently a distant and out-dated memory.
In their less-than-private personal life, Bastian and Maria met & married in 2012 – there is some talk of children in the future, but certainly not yet on their horizon given the business plans described here.

Charles Saatchi Net Worth
Charles Saatchi is one of the richest and best known businessmen in the world and one of many millionaires. Saatchi’s overall net worth has been stated to be $100 million for 2014. Charles Saatchi was born in Baghdad, Iraq, but later had to move together with his family to London, UK to avoid the persecution of Jews in his home country. He was the second son in the family of four kids. As a teenager Charles was really interested in American pop culture and studied at the London College of Communication. After graduation he began his professional career as a copywriter working for “Benton & Bowles” and later started to work in tandem with an art director, Ross Cramer, and together they formed their own company called “CramerSaatchi”.
Charles Saatchi Net Worth $100 Million
They were successful and took-on employees John Hegarty and Heremy Sinclair, but true success came to Charles later. In 1970 Charles Saatchi started his business together with brother Maurice: they established “Saatchi & Saatchi” agency which had become the largest advertising agency in the world by the mid-80’s with just a huge number of high-profile clients like UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and British Airways. However, Charles and Maurice left the agency and together founded another one called “M&C Saatchi”. They took many of their important clients with them, and one of these was British Airways. Nowadays, thanks to his prosperous business, Charles Saatchi has a net worth of $100 million dollars.
To the rest of the world Saatchi is also known as one of the most famous modern art collectors. He purchased his first art work in 1969 – by Sol LeWitt, a minimalist from New York. His passion for paintings only grew, and in 2009 he even published the book “My Name Is Charles Saatchi And I Am An Artoholic” wherein the author answered many questions and even gave some advice about collectibles. But the book didn’t become as popular as Saatchi expected, so the author asked his personal assistant to buy a huge number of books to help his work hit some positions in bestseller charts. Later in 2009 Saatchi appeared on the BBC program “School of Saatchi” and gave many young artists a perfect opportunity to show their talent and showcase artworks: some artists even painted portraits of Saatchi himself. In July 2010 Charles Saatchi donated his Saatchi Gallery to the British public together with 200 works of art.
Saatchi’s personal life has never been very public, but he married his first wife in 1973. He had met Doris Lockhart Dibley in 1965 while working for “Benton & Bowes”. The couple lived together for the six years before marrying, but divorced in 1990. Saatchi’s second wife was Kay Hartenstein to whom he was married from 1990-2001, and they even had a daughter together. Then Saatchi married for the third time in 2003, to English journalist, food writer, gourmet and television personality Nigella Lawson, but after public disagreements, were divorced 2013.

Alexis Ohanian Net Worth
Alexis Ohanian was born on 24 April 1983 in New York City USA, of Armenian and German heritage. He is perhaps best known as a co-founder of the social news and networking website Reddit. He has also helped in launching the online travel company Hipmunk and created Breadpig, a company which sells “geeky” merchandise and gives a lot of its profit to charities.
So how rich is Alexis Ohanian? Sources estimate his current net worth to be $4 million. Most of his wealth has been accumulated by working on Reddit and Breadpig.
Alexis Ohanian Net Worth $4 Million
Alex Ohanian studied at the University of Virginia and after graduating in 2005 he, together with Aaron Swartz and Steve Huffman created Reddit. The company was bought by Conde Nast Publications, but Ohanian still had great influence as one of the people in Reddit’s Board of Directors. Of course, Alexis’ net worth rose significantly.
Alexis created another company, with the strange name Breadpig in 2007. This company mostly concentrates on selling “geeky” merchandise and has an unusual approach to business, claiming to be an “uncorporation”, which means that they try to use the earned money to support charities and other projects. Alexis decided to leave the Reddit’s team in 2009. A year later Ohanian became an advisor to the Hipmunk website and helped to launch it.
Apart from being known as a businessman leading great internet websites which have built most of his net worth, Ohanian is also known as a social activist. Between 2010 and 2012, the Internet users were threatened by the SOPA (Stop Internet Piracy Act) and PIPA (Protect IP Act). Ohanian was an outspoken activist against these acts and was one of the key people who helped to vote down these bills. After these events, Ohanian was chosen as the first on The Daily Dot’s list of “Most influential activists of 2012”. While these social acts did not necessarily help to directly raise his net worth, they certainly helped to raise Ohanian’s popularity and earned him a lot of fans on the Internet.
In 2013, Ohanian published his first book, entitled “Without Their Permission: How the 21st Century Will Be Made, Not Managed” which made it to #5 on the Hardcover Business best sellers list in the Wall Street Journal. In the same year, Ohanian started his own web series, called “Small Empires with Alexis Ohanian”.
Ohanian has also been a part of two radio podcast shows: NYRD Radio in 2014 and Upvoted which started in 2015, and is strongly related to Reddit as it examines some of the stories found on that website. All of these endeavors have helped to increase Ohanian’s net worth.
In his personal life, Alexis Ohanian is not married yet. During the time-off from his businesses and projects, Alexis speaks at lectures and conferences in various universities, also on some of the most influential companies such as Google, Kraft, Johnson & Johnson and others.
