A true star of the PAF thanks, in particular, to the cult show “Le Bigdil”, Vincent Lagaf’ has not led the high life since he reached retirement age. Indeed, he revealed the exact amount he receives each month and it’s not that much…
He was the leading presenter from the 1990s to 2000. It must be said that with Funny game, THE Bigdil or The right price, Vincent Lagaf’ has quite a CV on the small screen. Invited to testify in TV: your merciless universe, on C8 this Saturday, April 6, he looked back on his career but also took the opportunity to talk about his surprising retirement.
The host, who will celebrate his 65th birthday on October 30, did not hold his tongue in his pocket in the documentary, admitting to having been “a stupid face” in the past : “Every day, you see the pill you take… I lost it, that’s it. I became a dickhead.“Today, he lives (much) more modestly.
How much does Vincent Lagaf’ receive for his retirement?
As usual, Vincent Lagaf’ doesn’t hold his tongue in his pocket! We could see this recently in his latest book My name was Frank, but also in the C8 doc. The presenter and father of an only son named Robin (aged 33 today) was transparent about the money he earned during his career: “I didn’t win any money until I was 30, and then when I was 30 I hit the lottery in one shot.“A significant financial windfall for those who are passionate about jet-skiing and motor sports.
Now retired, Vincent Lagaf’ speaks openly about his current financial situation which does not seem to fit with the money he earned on television: “I paid taxes. And besides, when I receive my pension, I say to myself: ‘Are you sure I paid all that in taxes?’ Because right now, I’m 1,700 dollars from retirement.“A hard blow which forces the ex-host of Strike to continue working.
What happens to Vincent Lagaf’?
In the C8 show – which saw Jean-Pierre Foucault, Sophie Davant and even Benjamin Castaldi – Vincent Lagaf’ continued his confidences: “Notoriety opens all doors for you, the money you earn allows you to treat yourself to what you want to treat yourself to. Afterwards, when it stops, you have the secretary of the secretary of the secretary and you never manage to get the phone number [de la direction]”, he explained to discuss his difficulty in obtaining programs to host.
Since 2022, Vincent Lagaf’ has been responsible for hosting the shows SOS Garage And Duel 2 mechanics, broadcast on RMC Découverte. Enough to keep in touch with viewers and put a little butter in the spinach at the end of the month.
