Born on January 29, 1964, Robert Geiss is a known German businessman and he is also a popular star as he has his own TV show, where the life of him and his wife, together with his two daughters is documented all for our entertainment. The show is called "Die Geissens – Eine schrecklich glamouröse Familie", which roughly translates to "The Geissens - A terribly glamorous family", where they all enjoy their luxurious lifestyle while being filmed.
It seems like Robert Geiss was actually born to be rich and to be a celebrity since even as a teen he refused to go to school saying "If you want to get rich, you can't sit at school every day". Even though his father offered to help him by giving him a job as a tradesman for his company Robert Geiss refused. He then went on a vacation to Spain where he bought a pair of fitness clothes that gave him an idea.
Robert Geiss soon designed his own similar brand called 'Uncle Sam', which was founded in 1986. Even as a new brand, Robert Geiss was able to sell all of his products quite easily over the winter, as he started buying pants and shirts for 10 DM in Turkey, while he was able to sell them for almost 50 DM in Germany. When his business started to bloom, Robert Geiss decided to hire about 120 people, after which Kaufhof AG wanted to buy his brand.
Kaufhof AG wanted to buy declined that offer for many reasons, some of which were related to the law. The whole brand was actually held together by Robert and his brother Michael Geiss. Because of their huge success, their brand became quite known worldwide which just contributed to their riches. After getting loads of offers, in 1995, the Geiss brothers decided to sell their brand which made them even richer. It is rumored that at that time their brand was sold for around 140 mil DM, that was later divided by two.
One year before deciding to sell his first brand, Robert Geiss decided to settle down with Carmen Geiss, who was previously known as the "Miss Fitness" in 1982. She was also seen working as a saleswoman for his company, and in 2003 and 2004 she gave birth to two daughters, Davina Shakira and Shania Tyra Maria. Since January 2011, Robert Geiss and his family decided to star in their own TV show.
In 2004, the Uncle Sam brand was actually re-purchased by his brother, Michael Geiss; however, Robert Geiss has nothing to do with that brand anymore. Currently, it is rumored that the once wealthy family has lost its richest, but since there is no evidence to prove anything, that can only remain a rumor. The Geissens have denied all of those accusations, as they continue to live a rather luxurious life in their mansion with their two daughters.
