Revealed in the 90s with Undoubtedly On TF1 and controllers of his cult show It can happen to you Since 2001 on RTL, he has been hosting the magazine since 2018 since 2018 Capital On M6, revealing the underside of the economy.
Among many other projects, there are evocative name programs, such as Scams ! Or At what price?whose launch was scheduled for Monday, February 10, 2025 on M6 on Monday, February 10 and which this time proposes to “decrypt consumer products and services”.
Sociations, poor workmanships and other maneuvers that hit the wallet … Nothing escapes the vigilant eye of the animator who, in the end, loves to talk about money. Except when it comes to his! Julien Courbet has some well -kept secrets: his business, his income and a fortiori the extent of his personal fortune.
