After Jenifer, Nolwenn Leroy and Elodie Frégé, Magali Vaé was the fourth candidate to put her name on the Star Academy list. But unlike her elders, the young woman did not experience the same success.
Moreover, the million that she won million euros (or rather the 500,000 euros, after taxes, note) was spent at a crazy pace.
“This money was special, I was barely 19, I received a transfer of more than a million euros. I never had a pay slip apart from pocket money. Between get the minimum wage and suddenly… It was too much. My parents can no longer look at my accounts, it’s me who decided. I made the mistakes I made, I won’t make them again. I live like a normal person”she said during her visit to At Jordan’s. Of course, today, her choices would be different since she “invest in real estate” and would put “the money aside for my daughter”.
From this mistake of youth, the singer has learned a lesson. “It allowed me to rediscover the value of money and to be able to instill it in my daughter. She is spoiled rotten but with the value of money”she told Jordan de Luxe who had already interviewed him in October 2021.
“I was far too generous, with the wrong people. For several months or years, it was restaurants, taxis, trips. I knew that I was the one with the most money. Even if they told me “No it’s fine”, I paid. I don’t blame them because it was me who decided. Sometimes they waited for me to pay, but sometimes they said to me “No no” and I said “If if’. It’s everyone’s responsibility”, she admitted. She estimated that she spent approximately “10,000 euros per month, for 4.5 years”.
