At the tender age of 20, Vivien Geiss follows in the footsteps of her famous uncle, the TV millionaire Robert Geiss. Because her career is calling, she recently had to make a difficult decision.
Mallorca – Glitter, glamor and jet set apparently play a subordinate role in the life of Vivien Geiss (20) – unlike her uncle Robert (59) and his notorious TV family. The 20-year-old, whose father Michael (56) founded the fashion label Uncle Sam with his brother Robert in 1986, did not exactly grow up in modest circumstances, but the young entrepreneur is ambitious enough not just to rely on her father’s fortune and Co. to rest.
Robert Geiss’ niece Vivien separates from Nobel-Reiterhof in Mallorca
The former family business that made Robert Geiss rich has been in the hands of the Geissens clan since 2004: In 2004, Michael Geiss bought back the fashion brand. Their future seems secure, because daughter Vivien Geiss will also lend a hand in the future – but diligence has its price: The VMG Horse Ranch, located in the south of the sunny island of Mallorca, an exclusive equestrian center with holiday apartments, the 20-year-old now apparently has to leave because of her new job give up.
To date, the geissen’s niece has managed the modern and luxurious property, now the riding stable is to be sold, as bild.de reported. “It wasn’t an easy decision, but in addition to the ranch, which for our family was more of a passion than a job, I would like to focus on our actual family business in the future,” Vivien Geiss recently confirmed her sales plans – not an easy step: “The balancing act between business and my passion, horseback riding, eventually became too big. The decision, no matter how painful it is, is the right one.”
Robert Geiss – enterprising businessman with a flair
No, Robert Geiss was not born rich, but earned his first millions alongside his brother Michael Geiss: the two founded the sportswear brand Uncle Sam in 1986, which had bodybuilders in particular as its target group. In 1995, a year after his marriage to Carmen Geiss, the entrepreneur sold the company and moved to Monaco. The TV series “The Geissens – A Terribly Glamorous Family” has been in production there and elsewhere in the world since 2011, for which he is said to charge around 2.5 million euros per season. In addition, the 58-year-old is now back in the fashion business with his Roberto Geissini brand and is said to be earning some extra money with real estate transactions.
Luxury suites, pool, vineyards: Vivien Geiss lived so luxuriously on Mallorca
The property, which is situated on 40 hectares of land, is now also listed with the luxury real estate company Christie’s International Real Estate. The price is only known on request. In view of the amenities offered, however, this should not be low: the equestrian hotel has 22 luxury suites, a spacious pool, stables, a noble restaurant with up to 117 seats, blooming gardens and its own vineyard, according to the advertisement.
In any case, Vivien Geiss knows how to make the family ranch attractive to potential buyers: “The facility offers countless possibilities, for example as a stud farm, therapy center for various ailments, classic as a hotel with the convenience of practicing horseback riding, or simply as a… Country home for a large family.” It took the 20-year-old quite a bit of effort to part with such an oasis of well-being. But her uncle also had to accept a severe loss recently: because his 200,000-euro Lamborghini was destroyed, Robert Geiss burst the collar.
