In this work, we provide robust bounds on the tail probabilities and the tail index of heavy-tailed distributions in the context of model misspecification. They are defined as the optimal value when computing the worst-case tail behavior over all models within some neighborhood of the reference model. The choice of the discrepancy between the models used to build this neighborhood plays a crucial role in assessing the size of the asymptotic bounds. We evaluate the robust tail behavior in ambiguity sets based on the Wasserstein distance and Csiszár f -divergence and obtain explicit expressions for the corresponding asymptotic bounds. In an application to Danish fire insurance claims we compare the difference between these bounds and show the importance of the choice of discrepancy measure.
