“I can no longer afford it”: Stéphane Bern, ruined by four million euros, announces the end of all his

Contrary to what many might think, Stéphane Bern has accumulated debts in recent years. In the columns of Le Parisien, the host of Secrets d’Histoire announced that he had made an important decision to replenish his coffers.

It is still a taboo subject in France. Despite the perceptible embarrassment, Stéphane Bern agreed to say more about his income, during an interview with Le Parisien and published this Wednesday, April 12. In addition to his programs that bring him income, the “Mr. Heritage” has also been able to count on the money earned from the sale of his books. “People probably have the impression that I earn a lot because I do a lot of things and they are generally very media-friendly.

But I do a good part of it for free, like the Heritage mission,” Stéphane Bern stressed. And he added: “In my life, I have never renegotiated a contract. I was poorly paid,” he said, even though he is aware that he earns “more than many people earn in a month.” While he assures that he has “no expensive tastes,” Stéphane Bern was nevertheless tempted by the acquisition of the Royal College of Thiron-Gardais (Eure-et-Loir), listed as a Historic Monument, in 2013.
