Overview

• Johannes Höfinger, a 29-year-old former Bauer sucht Frau International participant from Lower Austria, made the claim on camera.
• He told blogger Eva Katharina outside the Käfer Wiesn-Schänke that his daily Oktoberfest budget is “1,000” and, when asked what for, answered “beer.”
• He noted that by about 2 p.m. he had already spent €200.
• Other attendees interviewed in the same clip reported far smaller daily budgets, underscoring how atypical his figure is.
• The exchange was recorded during the first weekend of the 190th Oktoberfest, which drew nearly one million visitors, and Höfinger shared the clip in his Instagram story.
