France 24: French President Hollande’s barber ‘makes €10,000 a month’, sworn to secrecy
The barber who tends to French President François Hollande’s hair earns a monthly net income of €9,895, a French newspaper revealed Wednesday, adding that the hairdresser is also committed to secrecy and needs to be available 24/7.
