his auction brought him a hell of a fortune…

When some celebrities face financial difficulties, others make great deals. This is the case for Alain Delon, who has just win a tidy sum after an auction. If the French actor was not present, his daughter Anouchka, who took the opportunity to give news of the state of health of her father, ensured the event with her husband and their little dog.

His brother, Anthony, had made rare revelations to him about his children, Lou and Liv, while Alain Delon’s illegitimate son, Ari Boulogne, was found dead last May. The news of the family today is linked to the art collection of the monster of national cinema. The star of Cheetah with Claudia Cardinale or The swimming pool with Romy Schneider indeed organized with Bonhams Cornette de Saint Cyr a sale called “Alain Delon, 60 years of passion”. And he certainly doesn’t regret it…

Alain Delon’s auction brought in big

According to The Parisianthe auction reported this June 22 at the auction house the sum of 8 million euros, i.e. twice the overall estimate which had been made. The most expensive works in the collection include a painting by Raoul Dufy, which cost 1 million euros, or a work by Delacroix at 775,000 euros.

Through their purchase, some of the artist’s admirers felt closer to their idol, who did not wish to wait for his death to sell. He preferred to witness the dispersion of his collection and not impose this on his children when he dies. He had been made aware of the art by the Italian director Luchino Visconti and started buying in the 1960s with his first significant fees. He, who came from a modest background, had a good nose with these investments, which proved to be fruitful, and developed real expertise in the field over time.
