The Silver Cloud II classic car convertible went to an anonymous bidder for $ 520,000, a spokesman for Guernsey’s auction house in New York told the German press agency. Before the auction, however, the auction house had hoped for four times the amount redeemed.

Taylor’s then husband Eddie Fisher had given her the car in 1960. The actress referred to it as "Green Goddess" (Green Goddess) and even took it to shoot the film "Cleopatra" with to Rome. At the end of the 1970s, the collector Karl Kardel from California bought the car from her and has now put it up for auction.

However, it is unclear whether Taylor ever drove the car himself. "I don’t think Elizabeth ever had a driver’s license"said Kardel "New York Times".

Carmen and Robert Geiss have been married for almost 25 years. Carmen now explains why the fitness model once fell in love with the entrepreneur and what makes their relationship so special. 

Robert Geiss celebrates his 55th birthday on Tuesday. His wife takes this anniversary as an opportunity to tell her loved one why she actually loves him. And where better to do that as a real goat than in public?

Carmen put a collage online via Instagram showing the couple in different phases of their life together. She also writes a long and emotional declaration of love.

"You are my partner, my trust, my port and give me courage. Whenever I think of you, a smile forms my mouth." Even after 37 years, her heart is still filled with happiness because she has Robert as her husband. He always gave her support when she lost the ground under her feet.

Carmen Geiss especially thanks her husband for having two children, Shania Tyra and Davina Shakira. That is the real wealth of the family. Touching words that the 53-year-old shares with her around 470,000 followers.

Davina Geiss provided her fans with snapshots from everyday life every day. But anyone who opens the 15-year-old’s Instagram profile now only receives an error message instead of photos. Your profile has been deleted.

On Instagram, the daughter of Robert and Carmen Geiss lets her fans participate in her life and gives her followers an insight into her luxury life. But Davina can no longer do that. Her profile was completely surprisingly deleted from Instagram. However, neither the teen nor the portal should be to blame for this. Carmen Geiss is certain: Her haters are behind it.

To a photo of her daughter, the 53-year-old explains that the profile has probably been deleted, "since some people probably got together and wrote to Instagram that it would be a fake account". The reason for this could have been Davina’s number of followers. Because it had risen rapidly in a short time, a thorn in the side for many critics of the Geissens.

"Really ridiculous, there were again a few envious people who probably didn’t allow my daughter the 50,000 followers in the short time", so Carmen continues. Now the mother of two wants to fight for the profile to be restored.

 The millionaire wife also turns to the social media portal in her anger post: "Here Instagram should edit and rethink its examination system. I get hate comments from fake accounts and nothing happens!"

Their life is pure luxury and the Geissens make no secret of it. Carmen Geiss is currently on vacation with her family in the Maldives and sends sensual greetings to Germany.

At 53 years of age, Carmen Geiss is far from being scrapped. Exactly the opposite is the case. The multi-millionaire loves to showcase her body. Eye-catching prints, extravagant cuts – the wilder the better. The mother of two is now sending greetings from the Maldives on Instagram. The family is currently vacationing there. And Carmen Geiss has a particularly good time in the pool.

She lolls in the water in a tight one-piece suit. The swimsuit she has chosen impresses with its cut-outs on the side. The deep cleavage also draws attention and is set off even better by a skull chain. 

"Mrs. Geiss, that’s hot"

Carmen Geiss' look is really well received by the fans. "Your body is really the burner", writes a fan. "Great body! Top figure, respect!"someone else comments. Another user finds: "Your swimsuit looks really good on you too. If I can look as great as you at your age, then I’ll win." And Carmen Geiss even makes an immoral offer by saying: "Wow, Ms. Geiss, that’s hot. Would love to write to you privately."

Will Carmen Geiss accept this fan request? Rather unlikely. After all, she has been happily married to husband Robert since 1994. He’s also in the Maldives, as are the couple’s two daughters: Shania and Davina.

Michi Wohlleben wanted to climb his first eight-thousander. Alone and without the use of artificial oxygen. What the 22-year-old professional mountaineer from Heilbronn did at the end of May on the 8167 meter high Dhaulagiri ("White mountain"), destroyed his desire for the highest mountains once and for all. A conversation about tragic accidents, unsuccessful rescue operations, tangible disputes and its consequences. See pictures of Michi Wohlleben’s tragic expedition on Dhaulagiri in our photo show.

Michi Wohlleben – deadly drama on Dhaulagiri

How are you Michi? I’ve been home for two weeks. But of course everything that I experienced on Dhaulagiri occupies me a lot. Three people were killed. Did you know the victims?

A 67-year-old Japanese woman died on the mountain because she ran out of oxygen. Although I have to say that the lady already ran around at the base camp at a snail’s pace. So she wasn’t fit. According to media reports, your Sherpa crashed in the descent. The fate of the 49-year-old Spaniard Juanjo Garra, however, affects me very closely. Why? We’d made friends at basecamp. In bad weather we were stuck together in the high camp and had fun. He and his Spanish colleagues Lolo and Enrique invited me to dinner in his tent several times. During the summit attempt, we are together in Camp III at 7250 meters. Now he’s dead.

When I set off for the summit at 2 a.m. on May 22, 2013, we were told in camp III that the normal route was secured with fixed ropes up to the top. When I finally got to an altitude of 7500, the fixed ropes were off. So the route was not fully insured. At this height, however, the difficulties only begin. At such a height one becomes sluggish in thinking. In this condition I didn’t want to continue the ascent without fixed ropes. Were you traveling alone? I was self-sufficient on the mountain and didn’t have a Sherpa, I carried my backpack and all the equipment myself and walked without oxygen. During the acclimatization phase, I was out with different colleagues. Sometimes with the Spaniards, sometimes with a small Polish group. But I was independent at all times, responsible for myself alone. When I turned back, I went straight down to basecamp. In Camp III I spoke briefly to Juanjo. He said that they will start a summit attempt tomorrow. When I arrived at the base camp, I found out that the Spaniards were actually heading for the summit.

Did you have radio contact with the Spanish? Yes. At around 4 p.m., we learned that Juanjo had broken his foot after falling 8000 meters. A death sentence at this height? That is definitely a very critical situation. In any case, Juanjo was not alone. Rumor has it that out of a total of 13 climbers who have been up there, all but two have slipped away. Among them were the Japanese, who later died, several Sherpas and a few Indians. Did other climbers continue their way to the summit without helping? I just claim that they ran away. They relegated because they might have sensed that Juanjo’s situation was very critical. They sensed danger. If you help someone at such a height, it also means that you are putting your own life at risk. There are different laws up there. His Spanish colleague Lolo and his Sherpa stayed with Juanjo.

Was help organized in the basecamp?

There weren’t many people in base camp at the time. There is less going on at Dhaulagiri than at Everest Basecamp. In addition, none of those present spoke good English. I knew I had to act. I immediately thought of Simone Moro. The Italian professional mountaineer is also a helicopter pilot, trained for rescues at great heights. I knew that he was still there after his Everest expedition. Simone Moro stayed in Nepal after the much discussed Sherpa attack to fly for Fishtail Air rescue missions. He has now brought his own helicopter to Kathmandu. Via Germany I organized the phone number for Fishtail Air and asked for help.

One call is enough and help comes?

Of course, the assumption of costs must be clarified beforehand. A $ 25,000 bond was required. Later, when it became clear that the action was going to be more expensive, $ 55,000 was in the room. In the end, the entire promotion cost $ 110,000. An expedition agency takes out appropriate insurance beforehand. The Spanish agency kept waiting a long time for confirmation.

Sounds anything but professional.

As a normal mountaineer who wants to fulfill the dream of an eight-thousander and joins a commercial expedition, you have to look closely at the agency. There are professional and less professional. In an emergency, that makes the difference between life and death. This is exactly what I got upset about in the base camp. I was so frustrated that we ended up losing valuable time. The Nepalese chef from the Spanish team defended the agency he works for. There was a first violent battle of words.

Was there a rescue operation by helicopter?

The next day, a total of 20 hours after the accident, the assumption of costs was finally settled. Simone Moro set off. He had three Sherpas and plenty of oxygen on board. The Sherpas were well acclimatized as they had just come from Everest. The plan was to drop them off at 6,200 meters. From there they should ascend to Juanjo in one day and transport him deeper. He could have been picked up by the helicopter further down.

Obviously it didn’t come to that.

Unfortunately, it took the Sherpas two days to the scene of the accident. Juanjo – he had spent three days and nights injured in the death zone – could no longer be helped. His Sherpa stayed with him until the end.

What do you feel after such sad news? Somehow I blame myself: Could I have helped Juanjo if I had let Simone Moro drop me off? But when you are told that three highly acclimatized Sherpas are earmarked for rescue operations, you accept that.

There were unsightly scenes in the base camp.

The Nepalese chef from the Spanish team – I had already mentioned him briefly – provoked me again and again. When it became clear that Simone Moro was flying, this cook came to me and said: “Now he’s here. You shouldn’t have talked badly about the agent at night. ”I tapped my watch and replied:“ It’s too late! ”We lost a whole day after all.
