Verona Pooth has listed her Meerbusch luxury villa for sale at €4.95 million after relocating her family’s primary residence to Dubai in 2025.
Why the family decided to sell now
The Pooths moved to Dubai in 2025 so their son Rocco could attend an international school there, though they returned to Germany temporarily in March 2026 due to the Iran conflict. Verona Pooth told BILD the family felt it was time to begin a new chapter, confirming the sale as a deliberate step after establishing their new base abroad.
Details of the property being sold
The villa, renovated by Franjo Pooth and his architect father Franz Josef, features floor-to-ceiling glass, a large garden with pool and counter-current system, three balconies, and a raised bathtub offering treetop views. It sits on a private street with only seven neighbors in Meerbusch, North Rhine-Westphalia.
How the family lives now
The Pooths currently reside in a Dubai penthouse and own a renovated villa in Al Barari available for rent. Verona continues to work frequently in Germany, including hosting the second season of Sat.1’s „Villa der Versuchung“ this summer, while Franjo commutes for business. When in Germany, they stay with Franjo’s mother in NRW.
What will happen to the proceeds from the sale?
The source does not specify how the sale proceeds will be used.
Is the family leaving Germany permanently?
No, Verona Pooth stated she continues to work frequently in Germany and Franjo commutes for business, indicating ongoing ties to the country.
