It’s the TV hit of the last few days. Dieter Bohlen will probably return to “Deutschland sucht den Superstar”. But according to “Bild” information, the pop titan will probably receive significantly less money after its comeback than in previous years.

Pension or jury panel? For pop titan Dieter Bohlen, the answer seems to be clear. After the TV broadcaster RTL said goodbye to Germany’s best-known juror last year, the legend should return to his usual place behind the jury desk in 2023. A year ago, a spokesman for the television station said: “RTL decided to fundamentally develop the shows ‘DSDS’ and ‘Das Supertalent’.” But the reorientation with chief juror Florian Silbereisen did not go as planned, the quotas have dropped. The fans obviously want their Dieter back. But the former DSDS figurehead will certainly cost a lot to return, right?

Since it wasn’t Bohlen’s decision to get out of the show, one might think that the broadcaster would have to dig deep into his pocket for his return. But for the music producer, the satisfaction that he is indispensable for RTL and especially for his fans obviously weighs more. According to “BILD” information, the songwriter and composer is said to have originally received a fee of 2.5 million euros for his two programs “Das Supertalent” and “Deutschland sucht den Superstar”. But as the “BILD” reports, the new sum that will go to the account of the pop titan from 2023 is not higher, but slightly lower. After all, success has other ways of expressing itself than just through the payroll.
