his secrets about his bank account

This Friday, December 20, Liberation devotes a portrait to Émilien, the greatest champion in the history of the issuance of 12 shots of noon broadcast on TF1. With almost 2 million euros in winnings accumulated, the young age of 22 seems to be somewhat “overwhelmed” by all this money.

At just 22 years old, Émilien has become the greatest player on the show 12 shots of noon broadcast on TF1. After 450 victories, the young man from Péault, a small village in Vendée, has accumulated nearly 2 million euros in winnings, money and gifts. A record in France. This former Crous scholarship holder also seems to be somewhat “exceeds” by all this money he has amassed since the start of his adventure in the TF1 game. In any case, this is what he explained in The Portrait directed by Liberation on newsstands this Friday, December 20. “It’s complicated to materialize such an immense sum, it’s beyond me”, he first declared. Before adding: “We have a little more fun at restaurants, we think less when we go shopping.” But, Émilien had difficulty getting used to this idea. “It was difficult to say to yourself ‘it’s okay, there are no more problems’”, he explained.

However, although his bank accounts are much fuller than before, the 22-year-old has not changed the way he spends. “I have always been careful and valued the value of money, so I am not more of a spender than before”, he assured. Logistically, he lets his mother manage the resale of the gifts he has received since the start of his participation in the 12 shots of noonnamely sixteen cars, cell phones and electronic devices, decorative objects, household appliances and even travel. Now a millionaire, Émilien still keeps his feet on the ground and is aware that everything could stop overnight. But he stressed having lived “extraordinary things” and that this experience will remain “a superb memory”.

The 12 strokes of noon, Émilien overwhelmed by his huge gains: “I don’t know what to do with all of this”

This is not the first time that Émilien explains being overwhelmed by the winnings he has made since he participated in the 12 shots of noon. In an interview with West Francethe young man had explained that the media coverage was “very weird”, admitting that he didn’t know what to do with all the winnings and gifts he won from his game show victories. “I don’t know what to do with all this he confided I please those around me or I resell.” Passionate about TV games since childhood, a taste passed down from his grandparents, he signed up for 12 shots of noon to please them, without imagining such success. Today, he continues to cultivate this passion, spending hours swallowing hundreds of pieces of information to maintain his level. But this frantic pace has a price: he actually missed his third year of history studies in Toulouse, because it is difficult to juggle filming.
