Which Tom Schröder are we talking about?
There are at least three publicly documented individuals named Tom Schröder (or Tom Schroder) who show up across different industries, and getting the right one matters before you start building any net-worth picture. The first is a communications professional: PR Week reported in December 2010 that a Tom Schroder was promoted to VP of Corporate Communications at Universal Orlando Resort. That person operates in a salaried media-relations role with no significant publicly documented investment activity. The second is a tech entrepreneur linked to WUNSCHGUTSCHEIN GmbH (a digital gift-card platform based in Germany) as a former founder and managing director, with companyhouse.de registry records confirming a Schröder, Tom in a Geschäftsführer capacity there. The third, and the one most relevant to any wealth discussion, is a German entrepreneur identified by PureLuxe, Deutsche Börse, and multiple Italian business publications as the owner of FIL Bros. Family Office, a Kitzbühel-registered investment holding vehicle. This article focuses on that third individual: the serial entrepreneur Tom Schröder whose financial profile is built around FIL Bros. Family Office and its portfolio holdings.
The overlapping digital footprint (XING and Crunchbase both list a Tom Schröder as co-founder of Wishcard Technologies Group, which appears connected to the WUNSCHGUTSCHEIN business) suggests that the tech-entrepreneur Tom Schröder and the FIL Bros. investor Tom Schröder may be the same person at different career stages. Austrian business register records (evi.gv.at) show Tom Schröder listed as a Kommanditist (limited partner) in FIL Bros. Family Office GmbH & Co KG, registered March 17, 2021, in Kitzbühel, which is consistent with a founder who monetized an earlier venture and redeployed capital through a family office structure. For this article, all financial estimates refer to this investor-and-entrepreneur profile, not to the Universal Orlando communications executive.
What is Tom Schröder's net worth right now?

As of April 15, 2026, no authoritative source such as Forbes, Bloomberg Billionaires, or any equivalent ranked list has published a confirmed net-worth figure for Tom Schröder. Searches across those databases did not return a dedicated entry. That alone tells you something: he is a high-net-worth private entrepreneur, not a billionaire-tier public figure with tracked filings. Based on aggregating the publicly documented holdings described below, a reasonable estimate for his net worth sits in the range of €30 million to €120 million. That is a deliberately wide band, and the reasons for the uncertainty are explained in detail further down. The midpoint assumption, roughly €60 to €70 million, reflects a private-equity-style valuation of his known stakes, tempered by the fact that most of his wealth is in illiquid private assets. This is an estimate, not a confirmed figure.
How Tom Schröder makes his money
The clearest income and wealth-building thread in Tom Schröder's profile runs through three overlapping streams: founding and exiting or monetizing tech ventures, deploying capital through a family office structure, and taking significant ownership stakes in operating businesses in niche manufacturing sectors.
The tech-venture phase
His XING profile lists him as Founder and Managing Partner at WUNSCHGUTSCHEIN GmbH (Düsseldorf) and at WISHCARD Technologies Group GmbH, and Crunchbase confirms his co-founder status at Wishcard Technologies Group. Digital gift-card and stored-value platforms can generate meaningful exits at 3x to 8x revenue multiples in the B2B-SaaS segment, though no public sale price for these businesses has been confirmed. His later removal from the Geschäftsführer role at WUNSCHGUTSCHEIN GmbH, as shown in companyhouse.de registry history, is consistent with a founder stepping back after a liquidity event or after bringing in professional management. That transition likely funded, at least in part, the capital he deployed through FIL Bros.
FIL Bros. Family Office and active investing

FIL Bros. Family Office GmbH & Co KG is registered in Kitzbühel under Austrian company number FN 552779k and is categorized under Vermögensverwaltung (asset management). This is not an operating company; it is structured as a wealth vehicle, which is a standard approach for entrepreneurs who want centralized control over a diversified portfolio. Deutsche Börse Cash Market reported that FIL Bros. Capital GmbH, described as an investment vehicle of entrepreneur Tom Schröder, acted as the main investor in a Series A financing tranche for InfanDx AG, a neonatal diagnostics company. The InfanDx press release confirmed that FIL Bros. Capital GmbH subscribed to a significant share of the capital raised, marking Schröder as an active participant in early-stage life-sciences investing. He has also been listed as a former Geschäftsführer of BESS(t) PV GmbH (an energy-sector company), based on OpenRegister.de registry data, suggesting additional exposure to renewable energy investments.
Cantiere delle Marche: the flagship holding
The most financially significant and well-documented holding is Schröder's stake in Cantiere delle Marche (CdM), an Italian shipyard specializing in long-range explorer yachts. In October 2022, FIL Bros. Family Office acquired 75% of CdM through a management buyout, as reported by both Cruise Lifestyle and Pressmare. That made Schröder the majority owner of one of the most respected names in the explorer-yacht segment, where hull prices routinely run from €5 million to €30 million depending on vessel size. By late 2025, the ownership structure had shifted substantially: Pressmare reported in October 2025 that CLP2 acquired 72% of CdM shares, leaving Tom Schröder (through FIL Bros.) with a retained 20% stake. Superyacht Investor also documented the share sale from Fil Bros. Family Office, confirming the transition. A 20% stake in a shipyard of CdM's caliber still represents meaningful value, but it is materially smaller than the majority position he held for the prior three years.
The assets that build the estimate
Pulling together what is publicly verifiable, here is the asset picture as of April 2026:
| Asset / Holding | Ownership / Role | Status | Estimated Value (range) |
|---|
| Cantiere delle Marche (CdM) | 20% stake via FIL Bros. | Confirmed post-2025 dilution | €15M–€50M (estimate) |
| FIL Bros. Capital GmbH — InfanDx AG Series A | Lead investor, stake size undisclosed | Confirmed participation | Not independently valued |
| WUNSCHGUTSCHEIN / Wishcard Technologies Group | Former founder; current stake unknown | Step-back confirmed by registry | Unknown; possible prior exit proceeds |
| BESS(t) PV GmbH | Former Geschäftsführer | No longer in management | Unknown; energy-sector exposure |
| FIL Bros. Family Office (overall portfolio) | Owner / Kommanditist | Active, Kitzbühel-registered | Undisclosed total AUM |
The CdM stake is the anchor for any bottom-up valuation attempt. Explorer-yacht shipyards with CdM's order book and brand positioning have historically traded at EBITDA multiples of 6x to 10x in private transactions. Without audited financials, applying even a conservative multiple to estimated annual revenues makes that 20% stake the dominant line item in any wealth estimate. Everything else, the life-sciences bet through InfanDx, any residual energy-sector exposure, and liquid assets held within FIL Bros., is secondary but additive.
Why different estimates disagree

Net-worth estimates for private entrepreneurs like Schröder diverge for predictable reasons, and understanding them helps you read any figure you encounter with the right level of skepticism. This is a challenge that applies just as much to established wealth profiles: even someone like Gerhard Schröder, whose public income sources are more documented, sees significant variance in estimates depending on which income streams analysts choose to include.
- Ownership timing: Between 2022 and late 2025, Schröder held 75% of CdM. Any estimate built during that window would be materially higher than one using the current 20% stake. If a website published a number in 2023 without updating it, it is now overstated.
- Private company valuation uncertainty: CdM does not publish audited financials publicly. Without confirmed revenue and EBITDA, any multiple-based valuation is an educated guess. A 6x vs. 10x EBITDA multiple on the same revenue base can double the implied equity value.
- Portfolio opacity: FIL Bros. Family Office's total assets under management are not disclosed. Schröder may hold additional investments, real estate, or liquid assets that are completely invisible to external observers.
- Exit proceeds unknowns: If the WUNSCHGUTSCHEIN or Wishcard Technologies exits generated significant proceeds, those funds may now be held in liquid or semi-liquid form within FIL Bros., but there is no public documentation of a sale price.
- Currency and valuation date: Holdings denominated in euros fluctuate relative to other reference currencies, and private-market valuations are point-in-time estimates that shift with sector sentiment.
How reliable is this estimate?
To be direct: this is a low-to-medium confidence estimate. What is confirmed by public records includes the FIL Bros. Family Office registration in Austria (evi.gv.at), the 2022 acquisition of 75% of CdM (multiple Italian-language business publications), the 2025 reduction to a 20% retained stake (Pressmare October 2025, Superyacht Investor), the Series A investment in InfanDx via FIL Bros. Capital GmbH (Deutsche Börse Cash Market and InfanDx's own press release), and the historical connection to WUNSCHGUTSCHEIN GmbH (company registry data via companyhouse.de). What is not confirmed by any document includes the total value of FIL Bros.' portfolio, any audited company valuations for CdM, any confirmed sale price from prior tech ventures, and the size of his InfanDx or BESS(t) PV stakes.
For context, this level of evidence is actually better than what exists for many private entrepreneurs tracked on this site. A figure like a typical Schroder family wealth profile often benefits from listed-company shareholding disclosures that make ownership stakes directly verifiable through stock exchange filings. Schröder's portfolio is entirely private, so there are no mandatory disclosure triggers that would force the numbers into the open. The €30M to €120M range reflects that uncertainty honestly. Treat the midpoint as a working assumption, not a fact.
How to track updates and verify changes
Because Schröder's wealth is concentrated in private assets, tracking changes requires monitoring the right sources rather than waiting for a Forbes update that probably will not come.
- Monitor Italian maritime business media: Pressmare has consistently been the most reliable source for CdM ownership changes. Set a Google Alert for 'Cantiere delle Marche FIL Bros' and 'Cantiere delle Marche Tom Schröder' to catch any further equity moves.
- Check Austrian company registry (evi.gv.at): FIL Bros. Family Office GmbH & Co KG (FN 552779k) is a live entry in the Austrian Firmenbuch. Any structural changes to the partnership, new limited partners, or capital changes will be recorded there.
- Track German commercial registers (Handelsregister): OpenRegister.de and companyhouse.de aggregate German HRB and HRA filings. If Schröder takes on new Geschäftsführer or shareholder roles in German-registered entities, those changes appear here.
- Watch Deutsche Börse and InfanDx communications: If InfanDx AG proceeds toward an IPO or a further funding round, FIL Bros. Capital GmbH's stake may become disclosed at a specific valuation. Deutsche Börse Cash Market news wires are a practical place to watch.
- Superyacht Investor and Cruise Lifestyle for CdM: These sector-specific outlets covered the 2022 acquisition and the 2025 dilution. They are likely to cover any future transactions involving the shipyard.
- Crunchbase for Wishcard Technologies: If Wishcard Technologies Group raises further capital or is acquired, Crunchbase deal records will capture it. The co-founder link means any transaction could clarify Schröder's residual interest.
One practical note: when you see a net-worth figure for a private entrepreneur, always check whether it was built before or after a known equity event. In Schröder's case, the CLP2 acquisition of 72% of CdM in 2025 is a major reset point. Any estimate dated before that transaction and not subsequently revised will overstate his CdM-linked wealth by a significant margin. The same discipline applies when reading profiles of other private investors. For reference, you can see how this kind of pre- and post-event revision affects estimates by looking at the profile for Simon Schröeder, where ownership-change timing creates similar valuation gaps.
Putting it in context: private wealth vs. public wealth profiles
Tom Schröder's wealth profile is typical of a certain class of European entrepreneur: meaningful but private, built across multiple ventures, and largely invisible to standard wealth databases because none of his assets are exchange-listed. Compare that with athletes-turned-investors like Detlef Schrempf, whose playing career earnings create a verifiable base, or goalkeepers whose commercial image rights generate documented licensing income like the kind that shapes Kasper Schmeichel's net worth. With Schröder, there is no salary disclosure, no listed stock, and no celebrity-income proxy. The wealth is real but the documentation is thin, which is exactly why a range rather than a point estimate is the honest approach here.
Relative to other investment-focused profiles tracked on this site, Schröder's trajectory also differs meaningfully from figures whose wealth comes primarily from a single legacy family business. Profiles such as Emmanuel Schreder's net worth breakdown illustrate how concentrated wealth sources simplify the estimation process. Schröder's portfolio is more diversified across sectors (tech, maritime manufacturing, life sciences, energy), which adds resilience but also adds analytical complexity when trying to pin down a single figure.
The bottom line
Tom Schröder, the German entrepreneur behind FIL Bros. Family Office, has a net worth estimated at €30 million to €120 million as of April 15, 2026. That range is wide because his holdings are entirely private, his primary asset (a 20% stake in Cantiere delle Marche after the 2025 CLP2 transaction) has no publicly audited valuation, and his broader portfolio through FIL Bros. is opaque by design. What is not in dispute is that he has built a meaningful investment platform across technology ventures, maritime manufacturing, life sciences, and energy, with a family office structure in Kitzbühel anchoring the portfolio. No Forbes or Bloomberg listing exists, which is not unusual for entrepreneurs at this wealth level. The best way to stay current is to monitor Italian maritime media, Austrian company registry filings, and Deutsche Börse news wires, and to treat any estimate you find online as a snapshot tied to a specific ownership structure that may since have changed.
