Dominique Tapie is riddled with debt. Three years after the death of her husband, Bernard Tapie, the financial worries are still there and will certainly remain until the end given the astronomical sums that she is asked to repay.
Guest on C8 in the show At Jordan'sDominique Tapie spoke to Jordan Deluxe and notably revealed the amount of its debts: 650 million euros! Just that… A sum that she will never be able to repay.
Dominique Tapie: “very precarious conditions”
While Jordan Deluxe evokes the sum of 15 million euros, “totally mind-blowing” he says, but Bernard Tapie's widow stops him. “No, but Jordan is not 15 million. I have a debt of over 600… 650 million. I don't even count anymore, it's so pharaonic, unreal” she said.
She explains that “it's a virtual debt” et “these are the interests“that we ask him”although the initial amount has been refunded” continues Sophie Tapie's mother. During his lifetime, her husband was already fighting for this. “He had a trial which proved him right and the State, the CDR, appealed“, she knows that the debt will increase since every day, “it accumulates.”
Fortunately, she can count on the support of her children: Stéphane and Sophie Tapie. In March, on the same plateau, Dominique Tapie then revealed the amount of his retirement: between 1,200 and 13,000 euros. “I'm in Paris, it's my son who helps me pay my rent. I live in very precarious conditions” she revealed in another interview in December 2023.
“I made the audio, it gives me a little something, I have a little bit from my book, I try to make do with it. I also have friends who help me a lot” she declared in front of Jordan Deluxe.
“It’s exponential.”
On the set of Don't touch my post this Wednesday evening, Cyril Hanouna returned to this statement, which caused a lot of reaction.
Columnist Gilles Verdez then explained that: “cIt was 404 million euros initially, that was what the consortium had paid to Bernard Tapie as he had lost on appeal, he had to repay. (…) She's not complaining but it's exponential. She is unable to pay, all assets have been sold. (…) She reluctantly inherited this.”
