Although he hasn’t released an album for a long time (the last one dates back to 2012), Antoine became known to the youngest in the 2000s with advertisements for glasses. And with that he did not only gain notoriety, this work allowed him to replenish his coffers smoothly.
If he became famous with his hit Antoine’s ramblings, he also has a passion for travel. Last year he released a movie called Stopovers in New Zealand where he presents this country where he often visited with his boat.
WhileAntoine celebrates his 79th birthday on June 4, 2023return on this publicity which made him gain a beautiful sum.
With advertising, Antoine has “not made a fortune”
He had confirmed to Jordan de Luxe that the campaign “made a lot of money“, but a priori nothing to do “fortune” according to him. Nevertheless, Antoine had a good contract. “I received 0.30 euro cents on each pair of glasses sold. It was counted each year by tens of thousands of euros”, he told Jordan. “I think during the Atol years, I had to get 10,000 euros a month, roughly“.
He thus compared himself with Johnny Hallyday who also had to accept a contract with an eyewear manufacturer, Optic 2000. “A year ago I was paid half what Johnny got. It was still pretty brilliant!” Especially since he did not have the celebrity of the interpreter ofLight the fire. In any case, these gains allowed him to pay for his 3 children’s studies, to lead a comfortable and “to make movies”.
How much does he earn now?
Like many French people, Antoine – whose real name is Pierre Antoine Muraccioli – has a much more modest retirement than what he was able to receive during his career. “It’s 2,000 euros, approximately. And, it turns out that I have the Sacem mutual, which roughly doubles that. So. So I don’t have to cry. It’s a very nice retirement and that’s what I wish a lot of people to have a nice retirement.“, he told Jordan. This does not prevent him from still having projects and desires to materialize. Without really saying what it is, he explained that he had “don’t want to stop working“.
Contrary to what one might imagine, he put his luggage in a not very exotic place. “I have a favorite place: Auvergne. I bought a property there with my first successes, my copyrights of Elucubrations in particular. A beautiful place. Well, you can’t see the sea there but… it’s very beautiful too!” he confided to The Observer. As he sang, “If I’m wearing floral shirts, I’m 2 or 3 lengths ahead.“, we can’t wait to discover his next artistic destination.
