He has “a little retreat“, of 2800 euros, which “about what he did.”, is not very high, estimates Élie Chouraqui. This October 3, 2023, guest on the set of “Jordan’s”the actor, director and producer talked about money on the air, as is tradition with the C8 host.
“Much less than we think”
And if he participated in the box office of the musical “The ten Commandments“, Élie Chouraqui wants to be clear he won”much less than we think”. Well informed about the finances of this show which starred the late Daniel Levi, in particular, the producer assured: “The one who won a lot of money is Pascal (Obispo), with the music rights. And that’s good, that his talent is rewarded.”
In his case, it was more “complicated” he assures, “it’s more complicated because it extends over time. To understand clearly, I earn money when the hall is 85% full, that is to say, when the upper stands are empty, everyone will be paid but the production will not. And that’s good like that. So it’s not thousands and hundreds.”
“I have a house that’s probably worth over a million“
However, he admits to having hit it big, since he says “I risked 5 million euros (in the show The 10 Commandments, editor’s note), so I deserved to earn my living!” And today, without giving a precise figure, he assures: “Yes I have a house that is probably worth more than a million, you could say that I am a millionaire, I am 73 years old, and I have worked 50 and some years, and I am very happy, and I I have the right to say it.”
A success tinged with a touch of guilt, nevertheless, since César Chouraqui’s dad reveals: “The only thing I regret is that my father and my mother are no longer here. My father who left every Monday morning to go knock on doors, to sell wine. My mother who took care of all the children . I just have this regret that they can’t see me and say it’s good I’m happy“.
