Harald Glööckler: From Pain to Pompöös

Harald Glööckler, known for his extravagant style and fearless self-expression, didn’t come from a world of glitter and glamour. Raised in a violent home and losing his mother at 13, he turned deep pain into creative fire—vowing to uplift women through beauty and fashion.

At 22, he launched his first boutique, and soon after, his brand Pompöös exploded onto the global stage. Now sold in over 80 countries, his bold designs and cosmetics have earned him fame and fortune.

Beyond fashion, Glööckler shared a decades-long partnership with Dieter Schroth, marrying in 2015. He’s been open about his plastic surgeries, seeing them as part of his personal brand—and embracing his look with pride.

With a net worth of around €10 million, Glööckler’s rise from hardship to global icon is a story of resilience, authenticity, and unapologetic flair.
