At the heart of a lively controversy after having acquired a luxury sailboat, Dany Boon has just come out of silence in order to justify himself. The 57-year-old actor claims to be “in good standing” regarding the purchase and resale of his yacht.
Dany Boon is currently at the heart of a heated controversy in connection with the purchase of a boat. A few years ago, the 57-year-old actor actually offered himself a sumptuous 21 meter long yacht for the modest sum of 3.5 million euros. If so far everything is going well, things take a turn for the worse when we learn that, according to The chained Duck, Dany Boon is said to have purchased his yacht via an offshore company domiciled in Antigua and Barbuda, a tax haven. Enough to allow him to save €700,000 in VAT during a possible resale!
If this trick is not illegal, on the other hand, it arouses indignation within public opinion. “What a shame, what an indignity. He benefited all his life from public money, French money, to make cinema. And he wants to escape VAT even though it finances culture and social security.” for example launched Stéphane Manigold on the set of Big Mouths this Wednesday September 20, 2023.

Faced with the scale of the controversy, Judith Godrèche’s former companion decided to break the silence on his account Facebook. “In view of certain aggressive comments which, among other things, even suggest sinking my sailboat (which, incidentally, is not nice at all) I must point out that my sailboat was sold in France in June 2023 and that VAT was paid in France. Dear polemicists, you can move on to the next artist. THANKS”.
Father of five children, Dany Boon, who was recently caught over his taxes, has always had, like Jean-Jacques Goldman, this image of a generous celebrity.leading a simple life. “I made a lot of money with Welcome to the Ch’tis. But that’s not what interests me… Ltrue wealth is having made 20 million people laugh“ he declared for example in 2016 to AFP.
“We never write that after “Welcome to the Ch’tis”, I gave 20% more salary to the whole team. That I raised 2.5 million euros with Jérôme Seydoux for Ch’tifonds. That I get involved in Children Action, an association based in Geneva” he also lamented in 2013 in the columns of Figaro.
