"We are the real winners because we have a very strong team," Hoeness said on Sport1-Doppelpass.
"Of course, we would have liked to have Florian Wirtz, but we would never have bought him for 150 million," he added.
Bayern did not get several dream players - such as Wirtz, Nick Woltemade or Nico Williams - in the summer.
Woltemade - who ultimately moved to Newcastle United for up to 90 million euros - is also"a good footballer, a super nice guy", said Hoeness, but: "He's not worth 90 million."
The main problem is the strong financial competition abroad, according to the Bayern executive.
"It's a monopoly," Hoeness scolded.
"Move up to Schlossallee (the most expensive property in German Monopoly), then some sheikh will come and then you can buy."
Jackson's purchase obligation will not apply
Hoeness does not criticise the fact that Bayern ultimately brought in Nicolas Jackson from Chelsea FC for a reported loan fee of €16.5 million.
"If I buy a player for five years for 80 million, that also costs 16 million a year in amortisation," said the German.
He also conceded that any permanent deal for Jackson wouldn't happen due to the appearance clauses in the deal.
"That only has to be paid if he plays 40 games from the start," Hoeness revealed, saying that was unlikely to happen.
