Franz Beckenbauer He died leaving a large fortune. He earned a lot of money as a footballer and continued to accumulate his wealth after hanging up his boots in successful businesses whose performance was managed by his wife Heidi, according to Swiss ‘Blick’.

Beckenbauer has made money through his work and advertising partnerships with Adidas and Erdinger Weissbier for more than 30 years. He also created advertising for, among others, Mercedes, Mitsubishi and Deutsche Post. His wife – they say – is mainly responsible for managing the legacy but also his son Thomas, 61, who has been in charge of finances for some time.
Beckenbauer was recently included in a list of the 500 richest Germans, but reports on his exact fortune differ. According to ‘Blick’, the inheritance amounts to approximately 160 million euros which will be shared by his children Thomas, Michael, Joel and Francesca. His son Stephan died from a brain tumor in 2015.
