''Der Millionenbauer'' (The Millionaire) is a German television series. Plot summary The German economic boom of the late 1970s led to an increase of land speculation; taking advantage of this, farmer Josef Hartinger makes a fortune selling his land, and gives up farming, living on the millions he'd earned.
