we saw Xavier Niel’s one man show at the Olympia

He comes from the back of the room to applause and goes up on stage at the Olympia with a promise : “How to become a billionaire in one hour”says Xavier Niel. Funny, megalomaniac, the entrepreneur plays with his image, white shirt and microphone in hand : “To become a billionaire : go to jail !”

Xavier Niel tells his story with prison for pimping, the Minitel, the creation of Free or his love of the catacombs. His one man show alternates between humorous videos accompanied by web stars like Lena Situation or Squeezie and anecdotes punctuated with very personal advice. “Be even weirder, so that people find you even weirder than you are”proclaims Xavier Niel.

In front 2 000 people, guests, journalists, politicians, and then Vincent and Isabelle, Free customers. They paid 39.99 for their seats euros and also bought Xavier Niel’s book at the store. “It’s a bit of a coincidence, on an online news site, I see that Xavier Niel is going to the Olympiasays Vincent. So, yes, it did go a little crazy in my brain.”. “I’m delighted because I didn’t expect stand-up power like thatIsabelle continues. He has a lot of self-mockery, he is someone who has nothing more to prove. He has a frankness that is pleasing.”

For the release of his book by Flammarion, entitled A real desire to cause troubleXavier Niel, whose fortune is estimated at more than 22 billion euros by the magazine Challengestook over the Olympia for an evening.
