This Monday, January 6, 2025, Benoît achieved a new feat in Don't forget the lyrics. The Maestro managed to pocket 10,000 euros more. But then how much does it amount to and how much does he need to surpass Margaux?
Since his arrival on the set of Don't forget the lyrics on December 2, 2024, Benoît caused a sensation. This young 31-year-old photographer from Nantes and based in Maine-et-Loire combines a vast musical culture, remarkable tenacity, and a very specific objective: to transform his earnings into a sustainable and eco-responsible project. On Saturday January 4, he had already accumulated 393,000 euros after 56 victories, rising to fifth place among the best Maestros. Monday January 6, 2025, he continued his rise by further increasing his prize pool.
A few thousand euros from Margaux
Indeed, during the first round, Benoît returned to the game with a prize pool of 393,000 euros. If he managed to win during his duel against his opponent, the final test did not work in his favor. The young man didn't get a cent. However, he was able to catch up during the second round. It was on Ulysse de Ridan that Benoît finally managed to win and cross the threshold of 400,000 euros in winnings. From now on, his prize pool amounts to 403,000 euros. Monday January 6, when he won them, his reaction was touching: he rushed to his mother Jadine to hug her. “He is the 5th greatest Maestro”Nagui once again confirmed.
But then how many euros in winnings now separate him from Margaux, in first place in the Maestros ranking? The latter had shone by raising 530,000 euros in 2019. 127,000 euros separate Benoît from the amount of the prize pool of the greatest Maestro of Don't forget the lyrics. Before he can surpass his record, he will have to surpass that of Kevin (410,000 euros), to whom he is very close, Caroline (416,000 euros) and Laurens (457,000 euros).
A friendship behind the game
If Benoît intends to continue his rise, he will obviously be able to count on the support of his friend and Maestro Etienne. Between the two participants, it is a beautiful story of friendship, well noted by Nagui. During a previous show Benoît had confided that he was staying with Etienne… And if they help each other, they also exchange clothes, which had disgusted Nagui and the zikos Fabien Haimovici.
