Overview

• Torsten Höllerich inherited about 400,000 D-Mark from his father’s 1.2 million D-Mark estate after Roy Black’s 1991 death.
• He invested most of his share in an Ibiza restaurant and later in Colombian real estate, selling each in turn to sustain his lifestyle.
• Since 2005, Höllerich has lived in Santa Marta, Colombia, which he regards as his chosen home.
• He now earns modestly from translation work, a YouTube channel and occasional royalties, and sometimes struggles to cover his 200-euro monthly rent.
• He was briefly homeless after his separation yet says he does not regret prioritizing freedom over financial security.
