150 million euros… This is the legacy Alain Delon left behind. If during his lifetime, the actor had settled the distribution of his property, everything would not be so simple. In his will, the French cinema icon would have left 50% for his daughter Anouchka, and 25% for each of his sons, Anthony and Alain-Fabien. A distribution that is not done without turmoil. Appointed as executrix by her father five years before his death, Anouchka found herself at the center of the debates. And for good reason. According to sources close to the Delon family, she would have received the available share of the estate, a provision permitted by French law, which intensified resentments between the heirs. This situation exacerbated tensions already present within the Delon clan, which has never hidden its family disagreements.
If Anthony claimed that the distribution was “actée” and there was nothing left to contest, tensions persist, particularly around material assets and the public image of the Delon clan, which each heir tries to preserve in their own way. Beyond the financial legacy, the symbolic legacy of Alain Delon raises questions. How can the children of a monument of French cinema preserve its image, while resolving their personal differences? Anthony, actor and author, pursues a career that follows in his father's tradition, although he has sought to stand out. Alain-Fabien, for his part, oscillates between cinema and writing, while regularly evoking his family traumas. Anouchka, more discreet, seems to be invested in preserving her father's artistic and moral heritage.
Anouchka Delon is suing Anthony and Alain-Fabien?
A distribution which further highlighted the tensions within the clan marked by the relationships between Alain Delon and his sons, but also Anthony and Alain-Fabien and their sister. In 2025, they are expected in court following Anouchka's complaint for “violation of privacy” after a private conversation between her and her father was broadcast. In this audio, a female voice, believed to be hers, laments: “I'm tired, Dad, I'm angry because of everything that's happening. They're burying me and you're being taken for an idiot.”
This same voice continues: “You have to be especially wary. (…) The trap will close on you. Perhaps you should say something there.” While her interlocutor's response is inaudible, the first adds: “And what about me? I'm going to take a lot of it, I'm already taking a lot of it on TV all day. They're beating me up. (They say) that I'm manipulating you, that you're spoilt”. A recording revealed by the eldest of the family who accuses his sister of having “hid the results (of cognitive medical examinations) for personal interests”. The actor then filed a handrail against Anouchka, “because a person who is capable of manipulating their family and lying to them like she did is capable of anything”. A question then arises: how can the children of a monument of French cinema preserve its image, while resolving their personal differences?
