The 48-year-old multimillionaire and investment entrepreneur “investment punk” Gerald Hörhan has made millions with real estate and is also successful with his seminars and books on tips and tricks for increasing money. Many young so-called “Finfluencers” promise great wealth online on Instagram, TikTok and the like. But how serious are these new money whisperers? The 27-year-old entrepreneur Chris Ebner is working on his future as a big influencer. He wants to found the “Gentlemen’s Club” with other TikTok stars, a platform for young men who want to become rich and successful. The 22-year-old Tizian Schneider from Innsbruck has turned his back on the promise of money makers. He promised many young people luxury and money and earned well himself with expensive online financial courses from the IM Mastery Academy until his guilty conscience kicked in. And the Federal Criminal Police Office provides insights into one of the largest cases of financial investment fraud in Austrian criminal history: The company “Juicy Fields” advertised investments in medical cannabis.
