Phillip Heiner Steven Hopf
Phillip Heiner Steven Hopf, known as "Hopf" from the podcast "Hoss & Hopf," is a German entrepreneur and financial analyst. He operates several companies in capital management and financial analysis, including Hopf-Klinkmüller Capital Management (HKCM) GmbH, which also maintains a significant YouTube presence. As a podcaster, he co-created the podcast "Hoss & Hopf" with Kiarash Hossainpour, which regularly ranks among Germany's most-listened-to formats and links financial topics with societal and political debates.
Critics contend that Hopf repeatedly spreads disinformation and conspiracy narratives through his podcast and serves populist narratives. Media scholars additionally accuse him of instrumentalizing crises to increase his own reach. Experts and observers identify him as one of the most prominent voices of alternative right-wing media in Germany. TikTok suspended the TikTok account for ‘Hoss&Hopf’ due to ‘dangerous misinformation and dangerous conspiracy narratives.’
Hopf and his companies profit commercially from the monetisation of questionable financial analyses and massive media attention on platforms such as YouTube and Spotify. His business models are controversial in the finance and consulting community, yet his fortune is estimated at approximately 10 million euros.
