Bianca “Bibi” Heinicke built BibisBeautyPalace into the most-subscribed German-language YouTube channel of the mid-2010s. Two outside estimates put her wealth between 5 and 12 million euros: about 5 million euros (Vermögen Magazin, as reported by OK! Magazin, January 2025) and 8 to 12 million euros (MDR, February 2026). They differ, and we show both.

What is Bibi Heinicke’s net worth in 2026?
The newest estimate we found is MDR’s, published in February 2026 alongside its podcast “Bibis Palace”. MDR says her total wealth, including property and company shares, is hard to estimate and puts it at 8 to 12 million euros. The OK! Magazin figure is older and lower. MDR explains its assumptions, and we could not verify how the older figure was reached, so we do not pick between them.

| MDR, February 2, 2026 | 8 to 12 million euros | MDR’s own estimate of her total wealth, including property and company shares. It builds on an estimate of about 13 million euros in income since 2012 and assumes a YouTube ad rate of 1.60 euros per 1,000 views. |
The same sources give earnings figures, which are not net worth. MDR estimates YouTube ad income of 176,000 euros in 2014, peaking at 704,000 euros in 2017 and falling to 176,000 euros in 2021. OK! Magazin, citing Vermögen Magazin, estimates her 2024 earnings at about 1.5 million euros.
