The singer Antoine is also known for his favorite song “The Lucubrations of Antoine”released in 1966, only to have been during the 2000s the face of several advertisements for Atol opticians. If the star of the yéyé did not release any album between 1988 and 2012, he did not really need it as lending his image to the famous brand of glasses brought him money. In February 2020, in an interview with Jordan De Luxe, he revealed the generous jackpot that he had received for these advertisements.
“A year ago I was paid half of what Johnny Hallyday was getting (for his Optic 2000 ads, editor’s note). It was still quite brilliant! » he had told in all transparency. And to specify: “I received 0.30 euro cents on each pair of glasses sold. It was counted each year by tens of thousands of euros. » In total, Antoine would have touched around 1 million euros during his collaboration with Atol opticians. If he claims that this did not allow him to ” strike it rich “ however, the one who celebrates its 79th birthday this Sunday, June 4, 2023 was still able to take advantage of it to have fun.
“I don’t have to cry”
But what could he have done with all that money? “It allowed me to make films”, had rejoiced at the microphone of Jordan De Luxe this travel enthusiast, who likes to survey the world by boat. Thanks to this money, he was able to release a documentary called Islands…once upon a time the Caribbean. His fortune also allowed him to spoil his loved ones and offer them a fairly comfortable life: “I have three wonderful children, who are now 30, 31 and 33 years old. I was able to pay them the best studies”revealed Pierre Muraccioli of his real name.
The septuagenarian had also declared to touch “a nice retreat” of €2,000 per monthto which are added 1,300-1,400 euros from the Sacem mutual fund. “I don’t own the copyrights themselves. “I don’t have to cry, it’s a nice retirement that I wish everyone”he admitted.
