He wallowed in luxury almost all his life – and in the end lost everything!
Died a few days ago Schlager legend Tony Marshall ( “beautiful maiden”) at 85 years. But the former record millionaire apparently does not have a large fortune to inherit from his widow Gaby (84) and their three children Marc (59), Pascal (56) and Stella (44).
BILD learned: Instead of millions, the mood singer is said to have left only his 50 or so wigs. The handmade toupees were once his trademark. After his 80th birthday he took them off and kept them in the basement.

Marshall used to own a luxury villa with a pool and panoramic views in Baden-Baden, a waterfront property in Florida, and a vintage car collection (37 cars).
But he had to sell everything!
Marshall 2011 to BILD: “It’s no secret that I got into financial difficulties through business with Eastern real estate.” In plain language, that meant: The singer lost his fortune through the junk real estate.
In 2011 he was even weighed down by debt – he was asked to take an oath of disclosure (which he did not give).
In the years that followed, Marshall’s appearances and earnings dwindled. Participation in the RTL jungle camp, which allegedly brought him 300,000 euros in 2018, failed due to his poor health.

Most recently, Marshall lived modestly with his wife Gaby in a row house that his son Marc had bought for him.
