The Famous Tune in the Film 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off' (1986) Created a Small Fortune for Its Maker


Dieter Meier who wrote the song "Oh Yeah" (1985) with his partner Boris Blank when they were the duo Yello, did some really good investments with the money he received from including the song in the famous 80's film "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" (1986). Today, Meier's investments have earned him a $175 million fortune, but he has still not seen the film that started it all.


"I never saw the whole film," Meier told the paper."I think once I saw this one famous scene when the guy, I think he opens the garage for his father's Ferrari."

After appearing in the 1986 hit, the song was featured in "The Secret of My Success" starring Michael J. Fox, along with "She's Out of Control" starring Tony Danza, and "K-9" starring James Belushi.
