I was reading, in the above link, about the woman who had 8 babies in one day. If she had been a German citizen she wouldn't have to worry about money for the rest of her natural days.
Elterngeld (Parent's Money) = Two Thirds of husbands last monthly salary for each child for maximum one year. If the father earned an average 35,000 Euros per year then that would be 186,664 Euros ($241,030) for the eight kids. For the other six she would have received 139,998 Euros ($180,805).
Kindergeld (Children's Money) = 160 Euros pro child, every month until the child is eighteen. Even longer if the child is living at home and attending school. Everyone is entitled to this money regardless of financial status. 14 children = 2,240 Euros ($2,891) monthly.
There is also a bonus from the German government for mothers who have more than three children at one time...I'm not sure what it is though.
Housing Assistance = Everyone who has ten children or more is entitled to an interest free purchase of land and house...for private use only.
What does all this add up to for the mother mentioned above? Within the first six years she would have earned 487,942 Euros ($629,503).
Not bad...
