From 9.7 million euros for Valérie Pécresse to 122,000 euros for Philippe Poutou, passing through half a million in assets for Emmanuel Macron and 4.2 million for Éric Zemmour: here are the declarations of assets and interests of the 12 presidential candidates, published Tuesday, March 8, by the High Authority for Transparency in Public Life (HATVP).
Real estate, assets over 10,000 euros, cars, bank accounts, but also participations in the capital of companies, possible debts and still professional activities of the last five years: everyone had to fill in these sections and submit their declarations, certified on their honor to the Constitutional Council. It was one of the conditions, with the 500 sponsorships, to be able to compete in the first round on April 10.
Valerie Pécresse: 9.7 million euros
The president of the Ile-de-France region and Les Républicains candidate has three houses and land for a total value of more than 4.1 million euros, including a house in Yvelines and another in Loire-Atlantique.

Valérie Pécresse is also indebted to the tune of one million euros, between a mortgage (811,049 euros) and an amount due to the Treasury of 173,749 euros. This last sum, notified “late end of 2021”, was paid in February, said the entourage of the candidate to AFP.
