At a time when actor and humorist Ramzy Bédia also reveals his impressive salary during the H series in the late 90s on Canal + (”
We earned 15,000 euros per day of shooting, it was new for us. We blazed everything “, does he reveal in
20 Minutes), Médiapart brings out the heavy artillery by disclosing the salary of the most coveted man in the French public service.
With its two daily games -Do not forget the lyrics and Everyone wants to take their place- which was a hit in the audiences, Nagui has made a place of choice on France 2 and in the hearts of viewers. A hen that lays golden eggs (Taratata, Pop Show, Intervilles, etc.) pampered by her employer France Télévisions according to the media of the French information market. Indeed, the producer has “benefited in the last three years from a real golden bridge from the public service, and from such advantageous clauses “. Namely, a contract, signed in 2017, which provided for compensation of 100 million euros over three years.
A salary perceived “between 750,000 and one million euros per year”
If Médiapart specifies that the amount is not the salary paid directly to the animator – but indeed a contract for all the productions of his company Air Productions-, “che amount includes Nagui’s salary as an animator, but also all the services sold by his production company (the concepts, the film crews, etc.). ” And for good reason, his salary actually received is between “750,000 euros and a million a year” Capital thus revealed before the confinement.
If his company had not confirmed the information, Nagui in person had still conceded “that we should not be far from the truth” in the magazine Stratégies. What stir up jealousies and controversies within a public service which must already make drastic savings in the middle of the financial crisis. Especially since, even if France Télévisions ensures that “Nagui pays more than it costs ” thanks to the advertising revenue from its programs, it is … public money.
(Very) advantageous clauses
Beyond his salary which exceeds the understanding for some, Nagui has been able to negotiate clauses going to his advantage. So a “format change from remember the lyrics would envisaged that if the audience of the emission is lower than 12% “ public. Médiapart underlines then that this change could “be considered in concert between France Télévisions and Nagui, without modifying the number of programs ordered or their unit cost. ”
In other words, it “provides the host, even in the event of an industrial crash, with three years of programming under the same conditions“As for Everyone wants to take their place,”the boss of France TV guarantees Nagui that he will also be able to host the possible replacement program ” if the show collapses in audiences.
To this, you must add his salary as radio host to France Inter (between “120,000 and 150,000 per year” according to Capital) to get an even more precise idea of his fortune.
