How much is really Renaud?

A few days before the traditional MIDEM de Cannes of 2010, an appointment of the music industry created in 1967, the magazine Challenges had exclusively published the list of ten French singers who had earned the most silver in 2009.

The classification was then published in the paper edition of the magazine, and was able to surprise some. Among the 10 singers listed were obviously the most popular at that time: Johnny Hallyday, David Guetta or Florent Pagny. Stars who stayed with it, and who already weighed big.

What was the famous ranking of the 10 best paid singers?

Among the 10 singers cited by the magazine, only a woman appeared there, which still says a long time on gender parity, whatever the field of activity. However, this woman in question occupied second place, and did not have to be ashamed in the face of other artists cited. It was Mylène Farmer.

Here is the classification established by Challenges magazine in collaboration with Weave, an operational strategy consulting firm, specialist in remuneration issues. in 2010:

1. Johnny Hallyday : 9,7 millions d’euros

2. Mylène Farmer: 3.6 million euros
