Siegfried And Roy Net Worth: Siegfried and Roy are a former duo of magicians and entertainers who have a combined net worth of $120 million. Roy was born Uwe Ludwig Horn in 1944 and Siegfried Fischbacher was born in 1939. They were both born in Germany. Siegfried began practicing magic when he was a child and Roy was exposed to exotic animals when he was 10 through a family friend. The two eventually combined forces and in the 1960s were performing in clubs around Europe and on cruise ships. They made their Vegas debut in 1967. Their magic routine would eventually grow into one the most-visited shows in Las Vegas history. At their peak in the late 90s and early 2000s, the show was generating more than $60 million per year in revenue (roughly $90 million after adjusting for inflation). During their time on stage, they performed for an estimated 25 million people. They performed at the Mirage Resort and Casino from 1990 until 2003 when their stage career was tragically cut short. During a performance on October 3, 2003 Roy was bitten in the neck by a white tiger that was part of the act. Right before the act, Horn reportedly began convulsing, which prompted the tiger to attempt to move him to safety, resulting in the bite. Horn lost significant blood and was permanently disfigured. He demanded no harm come to the tiger. By 2006, Horn was able to walk and talk. In 2009 Siegfried and Roy reunited for a stage appearance with the tiger that bit Roy to raise money for the Lou Ruvo Brain Institute. The pair retired for good in 2010, and the tiger died from an illness in 2014. Siegfried and Roy have appeared in several specials and films, including 1995's "Casino", 1996's "Siegfried & Roy: Masters of the Impossible", 1997's "Vegas Vacation", 1999's "Siegfried & Roy: The Magic Box", 2001's "Ocean's Eleven", and 2002's "Showboy".
Las Vegas Real Estate: Siegfried and Roy live together on a 100-acre estate in Las Vegas known as Little Bavaria. Little Bavaria consists of several connected mansions, grounds as large as a dozen football fields, and an aquatic park, none of which is open to the public. Their private animal sanctuary features horses, dogs, cats, bids, swans and, obviously, tigers. Over the years the duo has owned, and still owns, a number of other homes in the Las Vegas area.
