When you are a star host on TF1, at the head of one of the most popular shows of the last twenty years, you have the right to be proud of what you do, and this is the case with Denis Brogniart. At the helm of Koh Lanta since 2001, he has given a lively interview to readers of the Parisian, who were able to ask him many questions about his multiple projects. Recently returned from filming the next season of the survivalist show which will take place in Asia, Hortense’s companion has not avoided the often taboo questions about money.
When one of the readers is interested in her ancillary activities, whether in the animation of seminars or conventions, as well as her appearances in television commercials, Denis Brogniart begins with a reminder that we often hear: “In France, it’s a taboo question”. Quite reluctant to the idea of really revealing his salary, he ends up saying a little more. “I’ll just tell you that I make a very good living. I am very lucky. It is an honor to be able to be considered a muse for brands. I’m not ashamed of it “, he specifies.
Last February, the magazine Capital revealed for example that Denis Brogniart could hire his services for extras – via TF1 Factory – for the tidy sum of 15,000 euros. “The host’s company, Denis Brogniart Communication, does not disclose its accounts. But, according to our information, it generated, in 2016, a turnover of 656,509 euros and a profit of 268,550 euros.“, added the magazine.
He does not accept all proposals
Visibly comfortable on the subject, the father of four explains in more detail the way he chooses his contracts, especially for advertisements. “It is also meetings. I share, for example, the passion for sport with the boss of Nintendo. For Assu 2000, I admire the course of this guy who started from nothing”, he indicates, before adding that he still has certain values that prevent him from accepting proposals: “I don’t accept everything. I refused to host a convention for American Tobacco. It does not correspond to my ethics “.
Comfortable on a subject as taboo as money, Denis Brogniart once again shows that he is truly all-terrain!
