Overview
- In a video episode of their podcast recorded in Munich, Bill Kaulitz said he was invited to Hermès and bought two bags, including a bespoke à-la-carte piece he could design himself.
- Tom Kaulitz sharply criticized the purchases on the show, saying “Bill, es ist aber krank,” calling the spending “absolut irre” and saying he must distance himself from that behaviour.
- Bill also told listeners that personal shoppers now bring full clothing racks to his Los Angeles home, a detail Tom used to underscore how far his brother’s buying has gone.
- Multiple German outlets framed the exchange, which first aired in early July, as another public sibling spat that revives a familiar media narrative about their differing attitudes to money rather than signaling a lasting rift.
- The row connects to the brothers’ long public history—from early Tokio Hotel fame and hostile fan treatment to current media projects—and could draw extra attention ahead of their planned TV appearances later this year.
