Daniele Negroni’s Journey from DSDS to Driving Instructor
Daniele Negroni, 29, recently opened up about his financial journey on the ‘Sat.1’ show ‘Über Geld spricht man doch.’ Once a star on ‘Deutschland sucht den Superstar,’ he now earns nearly 2,000 euros a month—comparable to his earlier daily earnings. After finishing as the vice-jungle king in 2018, Daniele is training to become a driving instructor, earning a net salary of 1,947.23 euros.
Negroni acknowledged his past spending habits, admitting, “I have spent a lot of money.” Now, he’s taking a more cautious approach to his finances by living off his salary without dipping into his savings. With the potential to earn up to 3,500 euros post-training, he balances his driving career with ongoing TV appearances, recently featuring in the Joyn series ‘Good Luck Guys.’
