From 2000 to 2018, he was the host of the program les Zamours, on France 2, succeeding Jean-Luc Reichmann. Comedian Tex lost his place 4 years ago after an unfortunate joke about violence against women during a live broadcast on C8. Licensed by Sony Pictures Television, he has since been replaced by Bruno Guillon. Engaged in a showdown with the production company, he lost… big. This week, the paf star finally revealed how much to Jordan de Luxe.
“Around 25,000 euros per month”
Tex confessed as his interviewer took the calculator, in order to get the worms out of him: “The trial went badly, it’s amazing, I didn’t get my compensation… it’s amazing, I lost at least 600,000 euros anyway! I never said how much I earned at the Z’amours and you’ll do it again! It was super well paid, we make a good living on television, it’s the compensation that corresponded to what they owed me after 20 years of television”. And to comply despite the fact that “it’s quite embarrassing to talk about money”, that was “around 25,000 euros per month” before commenting “Here, we are not bad indeed”.

“And life doesn’t just stop at money” also estimated the comic. “Very economical”by his own admission, Tex also confided: “you see, I don’t understand how Benjamin Castaldi spent a fortune on a car! I don’t understand how we spend so much money when we earn it“. Despite the great difficulties that the columnist of Cyril Hanouna is experiencing, Tex has inserted: “you have to have a sense of economy, you have to know what you’re doing. I have always, I was well educated myself, I know that you have to be careful with your money!
How did Benjamin Castaldi do it?
And as Jordan de Luxe dug in, Tex blurted out, “To spend so much and then find himself on the street in front of tax money, yeah I think there is something that escaped him. I do not understand that we can spend while saying ‘since it’s gone it will last all my life’. I knew after 5 years of TV that it could stop overnight. So I was just saving“. And to conclude nevertheless that he did not want to judge Benjamin Castaldi in particular, whose name he cited, but that “there are people who don’t know how to manage”.
