How much money do you need to earn to live comfortably? According to Olivier Lejeune, present in the show At Jordan’son Thursday March 28, 2024, 6,000 euros is not enough. Words that may surprise more than one person, especially in times of inflation. But the former television man had warned. “I’m letting go today”he declared at the start of the interview before returning to his relationship with money, his current lifestyle but also his addiction to games. “I contributed very well because I had a small production company. I have a retirement as an author and a retirement as an actor“explained the guest of Jordan de Luxe, before specifying that he had never been “[ni] unemployed, nor intermittent”. He then admitted to accumulating several comfortable retirements before giving the sum: “I have a pension of around 6,000 euros. This is not enough”. An amount however significantly higher than the average pension in France.
Boat, ponies, garden… Olivier Lejeune has a “comfortable life”
A little surprised by his guest’s reflection, Jordan de Luxe tried to make him understand that this amount was comfortable. To which Olivier Lejeune immediately responded: “I am not complaining. I help my children, I help a lot of people. JI set up a lifestyle with a boat, with a house“, grateful to have “a comfortable life”. But according to him, he would need around 3,000 additional euros to maintain his lifestyle. “I have a lifestyle of around 8,000 or 9,000 euros. I rent here in Boulogne […]. I have two ponies in my garden, I have four dogs, a huge garden, a boat…”, finally declared the actor. Comments which are reminiscent of those of another guest on the show At Jordan’s. On Thursday March 7, 2024, the journalist specializing in economic issues, Jean-Marc Sylvestre, revealed that the amount of his pension was not sufficient, which did not fail to create a lively controversy in the midst of a period of budgetary restriction for many French people. The man, aged 77, estimated that his 9,000 euros pension was not enough for him. “It’s not a lot […] We need more… Because we have desires, needs, we are finally insatiable”he finally indicated.
