An emblematic figure of French song, Jeanne Mas has thrilled music lovers with titles like In red and black, Very first time or Johnny Johnny. Thanks to these songs, the singer, now 65 years old, was able to accumulate a nice little jackpot. Guest of Éric Dussart in We’re doing TV again on RTL this Saturday, November 18, 2023, the singer revealed, however, that she had lost her former fortune.

“I was rich”she confided on the airwaves. “In the 80s, I had a nice bank account and then a bank account quickly emptied”. Far from being a business genius, Jeanne Mas would not have succeeded in making wise investments. “I did a lot of stupid things, I wasn’t good at management”she admitted before adding: “I bought houses and then I sold them for half price, it’s really stupid.”

“I lack nothing”
Exit the luxury life, the artist now lives very “humbly”. However, she admits that she does not miss “It was nothing”. “I live very well off my royalties, my house is paid for, my car is paid for, what else do you want me to pay for? My food? I enjoy myself. Plus now I cook so it costs me less and I eat better.”
Although Jeanne Mas no longer has the same lifestyle, money has long been a priority for Victoria and Christopher’s mother who wanted the best for her children. “Money was a priority because I had children. When you have children you prefer to have more money than not at all because it’s complicated without it. It allowed me to raise them as I wanted, to offer them a beautiful childhood in the south of France with a nice house, it was my dream so thank you to all his successes because I was able to offer my children the childhood I dreamed for them.” Touching confidences.
