More information on Marcus Prinz Von Anhalt.
The Prince’s lengthy criminal record. The list of charges is long: human trafficking, pimping, bodily harm, tax evasion, money laundering…
It all began in the mid-90s. Prince Marcus bought a U-shaped Eros Center in Ulm (a town in Baden-Württemberg, southern Germany) in 1996 for four million Deutschemarks (almost two million euros). He wanted to turn this sordid business into a clean, pimp-proof place: the women paid 120 euros a day for rooms and security, and were allowed to keep the rest. But when he took over a table dance club and brothel in Frankfurt, his virginity came to an end. He and his wife were arrested by the SEK and jailed for human trafficking: 26 months in prison! Subsequently, he founded three companies: a property management company, another to run brothels with a front man as general manager. And an advertising agency with a stripper as boss.
Convicted of drug use!
In 2009, he was sentenced to a year’s probation for cocaine possession. In June 2010, he was tried for driving his Porsche under the influence of alcohol in Feldbach, near Stuttgart. The court gave him a three-month suspended prison sentence and a fine of 200,000 euros – which the judge deemed appropriate, given the 210,000-euro watch on the prince’s wrist!
Accused of rape
In February 2013, Isabella Lauer, then aged 17, a young racing driver from Passau, filed a criminal complaint against Marcus von Anhalt. The latter had sexually assaulted and bitten her! He grabbed the young woman, threw her onto the bed and lay on top of her against her will. Isabella told Bild: “I begged him several times to stop! But it only got worse. He pulled my hair, kissed me on the mouth, put his hands between my legs and breasts. It was just terrible!
Convicted of money laundering
In January 2014, the prince was arrested at Frankfurt airport: he wanted to fly to Dubai but had too much cash in his hand luggage. Customs officials caught him with 19,000 euros! November 2014. Marcus Prince von Anhalt was charged with money laundering, tax evasion and was eventually sentenced to four years in prison. He lodged an appeal, whereupon the Federal Court of Justice overturned the impugned judgment and arrest warrant and referred the case back to the Augsburg Regional Court for a new ruling.
The retrial began on May 17, 2016 at the Augsburg Regional Court and was initially scheduled to last 14 days. By agreement with the court, von Anhalt was meanwhile allowed to participate in Promi Big Brother, so planning for the initial process was delayed. His trial continued on September 19, 2016, and a new verdict was handed down on September 22: the Augsburg Regional Court reduced the sentence to three years’ imprisonment. Anhalt also brought an action against this judgment, but this time the ruling was upheld. In all, he will have spent more than four years in prison.
Accused of embezzlement on the Atri cryptocurrency
Living in Dubai since 2018. From 2020 to April 2022, he was in charge of the Atari Token, or ATRI, on behalf of the equally controversial Dubai-based ICICB Group. Crypto-currencies are all the rage, offering the prospect of exponential gains. But the pseudo prince soon realized that he could enrich himself on the backs of potential customers.
The trick is simple: he offers to buy Atri with the guarantee that the price of the currency will rise. He plays on the fact that this cryptocurrency belongs to the famous American group Atari. He shows you, day after day, that the price of this token is constantly rising.
You give in to the promise of a big payout. You send your money and receive your Atri in return.
Everything seems normal!
But what you didn’t know…
The pseudo-Prince had bought Atri to boost the price, demonstrating the currency’s strength but distorting the reality of the cryptocurrency’s value.
In accordance with Atri’s policy, the tokens are blocked for 60 days. Of course, the pseudo-Prince failed to inform you of this condition.
Two months later, the price has plummeted. Your Atri are now worth almost nothing!
Prince Marcus' social networks:

An extravagant and tasteless lifestyle.
An extravagant and tasteless lifestyle.
And of course, posing with stars who don’t know who the man they’re lending their image to is.
With Eddy Murphy. With Mike Tyson. With Bill Clinton. With Salma Hayek
Apart from Pamela Anderson, whom he met in 2008 at a nightclub in Frankfurt, when the voluptuous American actress was performing for Peta (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals), an animal rights organization. They’re rumored to be having an affair. Let’s hope he didn’t give her a crocodile bag.
An admiration for Vladimir Putin
In January 2017, he published his book The Camera Whore – The Third Biography of Marcus von Anhalt. An uninteresting autobiography. He is proud to publish a photo where Russian President Vladimir Putin appears to be reading the Prince’s work with interest. Just a fake! We found the original photo. And a mythical one at that.
An outspoken homophobe
Pseudo-Prince Marcus von Anhalt came under fire on the reality TV show Celebrities Under the Palms when he hurled homophobic insults at participating drag queen Katy Bähm. Among other things, he called her homosexual orientation “shit” and “disgusting”. From now on, we’ll call him Marcussette!
A difficult childhood at the root of his troubles
Marcus Eberhard Edward Prince von Anhalt, aka Marcussette, was born on December 20, 1966 in Pforzheim (Germany), in the northwestern part of Baden-Württemberg, on the northern edge of the German border. under the name Marcus Frank Adolf Eberhardt. He grew up in a wealthy jeweler’s family with three brothers and three sisters, four of whom were adopted. But then, at the age of 12, his father’s business went bankrupt and young Marcus was forced to leave his luxurious villa and live in a tiny apartment. A frustration, even a shame, for Marcussette.
After training as a butcher and then a chef, the “Pforzheim proletarian” quickly made a name for himself as the operator of almost twenty “brothels”, erotic centers and table dance bars in southern Germany.
His pseudonym Prince
Having made his fortune, Marcus Eberhardt, a.k.a. Marcussette, wanted to gain recognition and put his sulphurous past behind him. So he decided to buy a title of nobility from Frederick Prinz Von Anhalt, married to Hollywood diva Zsa Zsa Gabor for a few million euros. An ideal couple that would allow him to claim the title of Prince and a jet-setter lifestyle thanks to his adoptive mother.
The Frédéric in question is also a controversial figure, quite close to his son Marcus, adopted when the latter was 40!
From simple baker to nightclub manager.
Frédéric Prinz von Anhalt wurde 1943 als Hans Georg Robert Lichtenberg in Bad Kreuznach (Rheinland-Pfalz), Deutschland, geboren. Nach seiner Frédéric Prinz von Anhalt, born Hans Georg Robert Lichtenberg in 1943 in Bad Kreuznach (Rhineland-Palatinate), Germany, completed his vocational training as a baker before working in wholesale markets and soon running a number of sauna clubs and nightclubs with exclusive clientele in the Ruhr area. At the time, his fortune was estimated at 4.5 million Marks (around two million euros). He moved to Munich and met Hans-Hermann Weyer, a former interior decorator turned businessman and Bolivian Honorary Consul in Luxembourg. Weyer introduced him to 81-year-old Marie-Auguste von Anhalt, a descendant of the House of Ascania, which ruled the Duchy of Anhalt until 1918. Her first husband was Joachim of Prussia (1890-1920), the sixth child of Kaiser Wilhelm II of the House of Hohenzollern, whose fate was tragic.
When her son died in 1975, aged 77, the old lady received only a small pension. She even lived in a dreary council apartment. A godsend for Hans Robert Lichtenberg, who agreed to pay her a monthly pension of 2,000 Deutschmarks (around 1,000 euros) until his death (in 1983) if she adopted him. In return, he was given the patronymic of Prinz von Anhalt and changed his first name in the process. This was done in February 1980! But this adoption did not make him a fully-fledged member of the nobility. He was not entitled to use the title of Prince. In Germany, titles of nobility were abolished in 1919, with the advent of the Weimar Republic. Legally, however, there is nothing to prevent any title from being made substantive and, as such, becoming an integral part of a registered surname that can be legitimately borne.
In the process, Lichtenberg also changed his first name to Frédéric. He had no hereditary claim to a royal or aristocratic lineage. Nevertheless, Frederick Prinz von Anhalt / Lichtenberg called himself Prinz Frederick von Anhalt, Duke of Saxony and Westphalia, Count of Ascania. He married six times, including a marriage that earned him four million dollars, and adopted six adults, including Marcus Eberhardt. According to The Hollywood Reporter, these adoptions earned him at least ten million dollars (over 9 million euros).
Frédéric Prinz von Anhalt moves to Los Angeles in the United States. There he met Hungarian actress Zsa Zsa Gabor, 26 years his senior. On August 14, 1986, she married him. This was his seventh marriage. It was Gabor’s ninth, and her most enduring union.
“We didn’t marry for love,” Prinz von Anhalt told the German media. It was a deal. I know she took advantage of me and I took advantage of her. But so what? Do you care about a woman for 15 years if you don’t love her?”. She was to be his “Hollywood door-opener”. Through her, he met Liz Taylor, Elon Musk, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, Kylie Jenner of the Kardashians… When Gabor died in December 2016 at the age of 99, Frédéric Prinz von Anhalt, sole heir, received the Bel Air estate and all its assets.
Zsa Zsa Gabor, his adoptive mother. A diva ready for anything!
Zsa Zsa Gabor (1917-2016) was born in Budapest, Hungary, to a Jewish family from the Hungarian bourgeoisie. In 1952, Prince Marcus’ adoptive mother made a name for herself after following her sister Eva to Hollywood to work as an actress. Zsa Zsa Gabor appeared in some 30 small films and numerous television productions in the United States. She played only modest roles in her career, but Gabor can boast of having worked in Lili and Moulin Rouge, a film depicting the life of painter Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, in which she played dancer Jane Avril.
The Hongro-American was considered the Hollywood diva par excellence for her sultry marriages and affairs. Zsa Zsa Gabor also made a name for herself through numerous scandalous trials, which even led to a three-day prison stay. In mostly short-lived marriages to millionaires, Gabor acquired a fortune consisting mainly of real estate and jewelry. On November 27, 2002, Prince Marcus’ adoptive mother was involved in a traffic accident on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles. She received two million dollars in damages for the injuries she sustained while in a wheelchair. But, another notable fact, she was deprived of much of her fortune by infamous investment fraudster Bernie Madoff.
