Gerald Hörhan: The entrepreneur’s fortune

How rich is Gerald Hörhan?

As recently as 2010, the entrepreneur from Austria said of himself that if he had not made any mistakes, he would have long been a multimillionaire. The man who simply has no luck with women now has a net worth of a few million euros. His theses on digitization and wealth planning once made him famous. However, the women are only after his money. His personality and intellect faded into the background in view of his bank account with the ladies. This probably explains why Gerald Hörhan said of himself in 2018 that he has never been in love in his life. The cherished Gerald Hörhan’s assets are EUR 13 million.

The beginning of his career

For a long time, his life has been focused on his career and his mind anyway. At the International Mathematical Olympiad, today’s millionaire was able to take home the silver medal in Istanbul in 1993. His Studied applied mathematics and economics graduated from the prestigious Harvard University on the east coast of the USA. In 1997 the smart Austrian also made the leap into the Phi Beta Kappa student association. After completing his studies, Gerald Hörhan took a job as an analyst in the Mergers and Acquisitions department at JPMorgan Chase in New York.

As the next step in your career He moved to Frankfurt, where Hörhan became a consultant at McKinsey & Company. Gerald Hörhan has been the managing director of Danube Advisory GmbH since 2003. This company from the corporate finance division specializes in real estate transactions. The mathematician, who studied mathematics, only achieved a high level of awareness in German-speaking countries with his book “Investment Punk.” In 2011 his name also experienced an uproar when the profit participation certificates of his company Life Settlement Holding AG were suspended from trading on the Vienna Stock Exchange. This happened after the Austrian Financial Market Authority initiated investigations into suspected unauthorized banking transactions.

The investment punk

As a matter of fact Gerald Hörhan does justice to the image of the “investment punk” from the outside as well. In the past he has been seen with a hairstyle that was clearly reminiscent of an Iroquois. His clothes can also be assigned to the punk scene. This man can simply afford to dress the way he wants without losing his standing as a successful businessman. Although he could never find the same fulfillment in his private life as in his career, Gerald Hörhan has a son.

He has already completely ruled out a future marriage for himself. Maybe that’s another reason why he hasn’t found the right one yet. In an interview, the entrepreneur said of himself that he most of all loves his freedom, while just as much cares about the security of his assets. Obviously, these preferences cannot be combined with the yes-word. But maybe a prenuptial agreement would be the right solution for the millionaire. If he does find his lady of the love, marriage may still be an option for him.

Gerald Hörhan imparts knowledge through the Investment Punk Academy

The clever businessman has meanwhile said yes to his own website. Over his Investment Punk Academy he shares his knowledge in the form of courses with all interested parties. For example, they can find out how to read a balance sheet or how to get significantly closer to their goal of financial independence. While the entrepreneur also works with partners on other projects, such as his investments in real estate, he financed his internet start-up entirely out of his own pocket. So the entrepreneur has always taken calculated risks with his money, which is probably one of the keys to his success.
