Disappeared at the age of 91 on Sunday December 28, 2025, Brigitte Bardot leaves behind an immense career… but also un héritage considérable. “The will was opened and an inventory is in progress. It’s mandatory. It’s the law. We must make an estimate of everything that belonged to Brigitte. From objects to real estate, including an apartment in Paris where I have usufruct. A large part of it will go to his son, Nicolas, with whom I have a good relationship, although we don’t see each other often.”had confided Bernard d’Ormale to Var-Morning on March 31. If this succession is still far from being completely settled, a Parisian apartment of BB has just been put up for sale. A Parisian notarial firm published, on May 26, a real estate advert concerning a three-room apartment located in the Muette district. With a surface area of 70 square meters, it also has a private garden with trees.
What is the minimum amount to pay to afford Brigitte Bardot’s apartment?
According to the announcement spotted by Libération, this property is decorated in a very 1970s stylewith carpet and orange tones. If some renovation work is necessary, it offers a “great potential” and benefits from a good location near rue de la Pompe. It will be sold in the form of “interactive notarial sales”in other words an online auction system. La mise à prix est fixée à 1,05 million d’eurosbut in the event of a higher bid, the apartment could be sold for a much higher amount. The transaction would be orchestrated by the notary of Nicolas Charrier, the only son of the former actress. He should recover 80% of the proceeds from the sale of this accommodation. Bernard d’Ormale, for his part, would recover the remaining 20% thanks to a usufruct which would have been bequeathed to him in the will of Brigitte Bardot.
Why is Brigitte Bardot’s succession particularly complicated?
It is impossible to know the exact amount of BB’s fortune. Some estimates have put sums around several tens of millions of euros. Bernard d’Ormale spoke on this subject to the Parisian in order to challenge certain rumors surrounding the amount of the inheritance. “I read that she would be 70 million rich and would not want to leave anything to her family. It’s scandalous. Brigitte does not have excessive wealth, that’s not true. She paid the wealth tax because of her houses, because she had the usufruct of La Madrague. And the Garrigue, which she bought at a reasonable price a very long time ago, has gained a lot of value.”he emphasized.
What we know is that this succession is made particularly complex by the inestimable value of La Madrague. The actress had donated the bare ownership of this estate to her foundation, during her lifetime, in order to guarantee its recognition of public utility and to encourage donations for animal protection. Result, always according to Libérationthis property has become a true piece of French cultural history of which it is extremely difficult to estimate the price. Enough to complicate the calculations around the legacy left by the former star of French cinema.
