Benjamin Castaldi has always been very transparent about his financial situations, both when he won a lot of money and when he lost everything. Because yes, after experiencing success in the 2000s, thanks in particular to Secret Story he hosted, he ended up going through a long slump, the fault of some bad investments, a luxurious life and his three very expensive divorces. As a result, he finds himself deeply in debt. Today, he still has to repay the dizzying sum of 2.5 million euros.
By becoming a columnist Do not touch My TV, Benjamin Castaldi nevertheless managed to get his head above water but, on Tuesday, September 6, he was not the most reassuring. Indeed, while the update on its financial situation was made in Do not touch My TV, the father of four children (Julien, 25 years old and Simon 21 years old born from his relationship with Valérie Sapienza, Enzo, 18 years old, fruit of his love with Flavie Flament and Gabriel, born in August 2020 from his last marriage with Aurore Aleman) revealed to be at an impasse. “It’s dead, I will be at the end of my financial life in two weeksit does not matter. It will be cessation of payment. Money when there is more, there is more. I have a deadline that I will not be able to honor because I have a friend who offered me a deposit that he did not give me. I will manage day to day. I don’t know what I’m going to do, it’s going to be complicated“, he confessed.
A deposit of 500,000 euros
And by asking Benjamin Castaldi for details on Tuesday about what was going to happen to him, he ended up getting annoyed. “Well it’s going to be complicated, what do you want me to tell you? The other one has lots of millions and he pisses us off. He will annoy me for a long time! Stop a bit with this sorrel that I don’t have. You have some, I don’t“, he dropped, causing laughter around him.
This guarantee that he mentioned amounts to €500,000 and it was Cyril Hanouna that he asked to vouch for. “Which means if he doesn’t pay, I’ll pay. If I pay, what does that mean? No one is paid in TPMP anymore because I will have to recover the money from the columnists’ pay“, had explained the host a few days ago. Left on vacation after this request, Baba, as he is nicknamed, had not then followed up. It remains to be seen whether, behind the scenes, Cyril Hanouna finally agreed to help his friend.
