This Sunday, September 29, viewers will find him for a new issue of Capital on M6.
Julien Courbet has been at the helm of the M6 show for more than six years now. But despite the impressive
salary that he receives, he assures that he is far from having made this choice for the money.
It’s the 17th September 2018 that the presenter presented for the first time the program which exists
since 1988. This serves as a real institution within the French audiovisual landscape. With a popularization objective, he deciphers society’s purchasing behavior and does not hesitate to talk about money and the economy at prime time.

Julien Courbet’s salary has not increased on M6
“I win 20% less on M6 than on C8.”he admitted frankly without revealing the exact amount of his remuneration. He did not seek to negotiate as he explained. “I was told: It’s so much for the presentation of Capital. I didn’t even not discussed.”, confided the man who is actually called Frédéric Courbet. His career choices were never guided by the search for the biggest salary.
“When I moved from TF1 to France 2, I received almost 50% less.”he assured. “If I had stayed on the front page, I would be rich Today. I was offered a amazing contract to hold me back. Money has never been my driving force.” And we can say that it worked quite well for him. He has become one of the emblematic figures of television with shows which, for some, have left their mark on the public.
Julien Courbet will present a new show
It is thanks to Without a doubt on TF1 that he made himself known. From 1994 to 2008, he hosted this program which offered to help viewers facing legal, administrative problems or commercial disputes.
His departure for France 2, however, was not a great success. It was on C8 that he bounced back in 2014 by presenting various game shows such as The weak link et Take it or leave it. He even joined the team of columnists by Cyril Hanouna in
TPMP.
