holi-life because holiday means just a few single days in a year.
Holi-life means every single day is holiday.

00:51 BASTIAN: I saw Baywatch and I immediately
fell in love with this kind of life, the beautiful places, the beautiful girls.
01:01 COMM: But incredible wealth has not always
been the key to happiness for the couple, and they were shunned back home for their
lavish tastes.
01:09 MARIA: People in Germany was very jealous
and when we drive a great sports car, maybe the Ferrari they spit on the car.
01:17 BASTIAN: When we are sitting in a restaurant,
people next to us talking really loud about the size of Maria's boobs.
They said, oh my God, they're too big, they doesn't fit to this girl.
I decide to leave Germany because I realised there are some things that I cannot change.
The first, the weather, and the second, the people.
01:41 COMM: After attracting the scorn of their
fellow Germans the couple made the move to LA to live the American dream.
01:48 BASTIAN: Here in California it's completely
different, people don't care about it.
When you have succeeded and you're looking good, people are friendly to you.
01:58 COMM: Bastian and Maria love to shop and can

Ferrari 458.
Not many cars in the world who are quicker than that special one.

their new friends, and naturally no expense is spared.

US Dollars but I don't care about the price because it's an investment in the happiness
of my closest friends.
03:15 COMM: And although they're tastes might seem
ostentatious to some, big-hearted Bastian also gives half of his fortune to his own
charitable foundation.
03:25 BASTIAN: My charity work started in 2005,
I was visiting Marrakech, a little child was dying in my arms because it had no food, and
it was for me, a quite terrible experience and I thought about how can I solve some problems.
The whole amount I spent in my foundation since 2005 is about fourteen million euros.
03:59 COMM: Despite the criticism they have faced
and the fact they've had to leave their home country Bastian and Maria could not be happier,
living what they call the Yotta life.
04:09 BASTIAN: My first goal is to become a billionaire,
I'm on a good way and I need two more years, and when it's done I will think about family,
and now for me I make the wishes come true.
I have created my own Baywatch, I have a girl looking much better than Pamela Anderson and
I love the life we live.
