François Valéry is part of this wave of singers who marked the 70s and 80s. Emmanuelle, She dances Marie, Let’s love each other alive are all songs that have thrilled music lovers. Titles that have allowed the French singer-songwriter and performer to ensure a certain lifestyle. At 68, the artist no longer has to worry about his financial situation. Guest of Jordan de Luxe on the set of At Jordan’s this Monday, March 27, 2023, Jean-Louis Mougeot, his real name, lifted the veil on the amount of his retirement.
When the host asks him how much he receives, François Valéry answers with a smile on his face: “A blind”. “I set up my own label, I was a publisher, so I have a retirement as a publisher, composer, co-author”, he specifies. Intrigued, Jordan de Luxe tries to pull the worms out of him. “If I tell you around 5,000, 10,000 euros?”

“I’ll explain to you, I own my record catalog which I bought back in 89, the year you were born. I’m a professional. 84 – 83, I founded my box and on that, I became a publisher. In 3 years, I’ve had a hellish summer with Thierry Lhermitte and Véronique Jannot, Emotion, sung by Debbie Davis, a box, J’aime L’amour Avec Toi, box, Joy, box, Elle danse Marie, box , that was a lot of hits. I had significant responsibilities and income. And the record catalog, I bought back my first years. So I have 50% of the first 10 years and everything else is mine. When we ask me for a movie, a song or something, I touch”says the star.
And Jordan de Luxe to add: “If I tell you 15,000 euros in retirement, are we not far?” Far from being able to give an exact figure, François Valéry prefers not to bother with the money. “I can’t tell you. Honestly, I’m not interested. I make a good living”. An answer that we all wish we could give one day.
