This January 12, 2024, TF1 revealed the names of three personalities who will participate in the next season of Dancing with the Stars. The popular TF1 show focused, among others, on actor James Denton (aka Mike Delfino in “Desperate Housewives“) the Mangifaïke image consultant Cristina Cordula and the singer Coeur de Pirate.
400,000 euros at the most expensive
While waiting to know who will win season 12 and succeed Billy Crawford, we look back at past seasons, and at these French or international stars who took big fees to dance on the floors of studio 217 in Plaine Saint-Denis.
At the very top of the ranking, we find Pamela Anderson, the Canadian star of Baywatch, who agreed to dance with Maxime Dereymez for 400,000 euros in 2018 for the 9th season! At the time, the blonde was in a relationship with French footballer Adil Rami. A few years earlier, in 2015 for season 6, it was footballer Djibril Cissé who was the best paid, with around 250,000 euros.
Next in our ranking is actress and model Estelle Lefébure, who pocketed 130,000 euros (during season 3, in 2012). the show leader Dita von Teese with 120,000 euros (season 11, in 2021) and the former Miss France Linda Hardy with 120,000 euros (season 10, in 2019). Singer Liane Foly received 110,000 euros (season 10, in 2019), as did actress and singer Arielle Dombasle (season 8, in 2017).
The 100,000 euro mark
Finally at 100,000 euros, we find the host Karine Ferri (season 7, in 2016), and the singers Ophélie Winter (season 5, in 2014), Amel Bent (season 3, in 2012) and Lorie (season 3, in 2012). How much do you think the new stars will be paid for the upcoming season?
