Friedrich Merz, politician and entrepreneur – 11 million euros

For some, Friedrich Merz is a politician with a streak of bad luck, for others a successful entrepreneur. Although Merz has been actively working for the CDU since his youth, he never managed to reach the top. Most recently, at the beginning of the year, after a third attempt for the CDU presidency, he narrowly beat Armin Laschet, but lost. Attorney Merz has had more success in business. As a member of the board of directors of the asset manager BlackRock, the German Stock Exchange and the AXA Group AG, Friedrich Merz can enjoy assets of 11 million euros.
