Reich & sexy II: Die fetten Jahre ("Rich & sexy II: The fat [successful] years"), subtitled Ihre allergrössten Erfolge ("Their biggest achievements ever") is Die Toten Hosen's second compilation album, named after the first one. It was released as a single- or double-CD, in a digipak. The cover is based on the cover of Reich & sexy.

The first CD compiles the most important singles from 1995–2002 as well as two older songs and four new songs. The second CD is considered a "best of the b-sides and rarities" (1990–2000), and also has a short interview with an early member of Die Toten Hosen who left the band to join Jehovah's Witnesses.
