In September 2023, the young Emilian participated for the first time in 12 noon shotsa program presented by Jean-Luc Reichmann on TF1. Since then, this 22 -year -old champion is still undefeated, combining nearly 2.3 million euros in earnings. How to face this sudden change and maintain (healthy) links with your loved ones? Amélie Boukhobza, clinical psychologist, gives us some lines of reflection.
A fortune estimated at 2.3 million
He is one of the privileged, those to whom luck smiles: Émilien has become a millionaire thanks to 12 noon shots. A sudden and spectacular success which could be explained by its “addiction” to this game: according to the media TV 2 weeksthe young boy, from Vendée, has followed the show since his childhood. After failing for the first time, he tried his luck … and wins – finally.
“”I believe that on average, it must make almost 120,000 euros per month net of taxes. Which is completely excessive“He says.
Indeed, the young man today combines nearly 2.3 million euros in earnings and gifts. In his garage, for example, 21 brand new cars. However, Émilien, from a modest background (his mother is a nursing assistant, his father works in the construction industry), is somewhat embarrassed.
“”I actually see my mother working a lot to win less, it’s very special as a feeling“, He admits.
How, in this context, keep healthy relationships with your family? What to say, what to do, when this “difference” suddenly settles between you and your loved ones? Amélie Boukhobza, clinical psychologist, enlightens us.
“The real risk is the gap”
Émilien won… a lot of money. “”More than two million. A brilliant success at 22 yearsS “, comments Amélie Boukhobza.
“”But a more intimate question arises: how to manage such a change when you come from a modest environment? How to stay aligned, when everything changes around you … except your family?“, She wonders.
Because the money moves the lines, despite oneself.
“”Even when you don’t want“says the expert.”There are those who admire. Those that this success exceeds. Those who think we were just lucky. And then there is guilt. That of having “succeeded” while other row still. Why me? The one also not to be able to complain without appearing indecent“Continues the psychologist.
In this still “normal” daily life – we are not always bought by a villa in the sun in a few days – the landmarks can be disturbed.
“”The real risk is the gap. The impression of having become “other”. Because in some families, money is taboo. We don’t talk about it, or with embarrassment, suspicion, anger. And when only one child stands out, it can be seen as a collective victory. But not always. Sometimes this success awakens old wounds. Sunny jealousies … and a form of discomfort“Says the practitioner.
Finally, it is not the money in itself that moves away. “”This is what he comes to touch: everyone’s place, invisible loyalties, buried expectations. Staying close, in these cases, is a real work. Words, listening, adjustments. And perhaps sometimes, renunciations. But that is never an easy task“, Indicates Amélie Boukhobza, before concluding:
“”To keep your head on your shoulders, you have to be able to/know how to surround yourself with good people. Those who still see the human behind success.“”
