For Emanuele Filiberto Amici was not the first experience on TV: he was also a competitor at the Sanremo Music Festival in 2010, his victory at Dancing with the Stars the year before; he hosted the first edition of Pechino Express in 2012, participated in Notti sul Ghiaccio in 2015 and was on the jury of the 58th Castrocaro Festival.

To participate in Dancing with the Stars Emanuele Filiberto should have received a fee of 350,000 euros (369,5 thousand USD).

Maria De Filippi, however, in a chat session with fans, said that at Amici there is no stratospheric compensation.
In 2006, Emanuele Filiberto’s father was arrested on charges of criminal association aimed at corruption and forgery, and of exploitation of prostitution. On that occasion, Emanuele Filiberto was investigated for computer piracy but was later acquitted. Due to the damage to his image caused by the trial and the arrests he obtained compensation of 40,000 euros (42,2 thousand USD). The prince also requested (without obtaining it) compensation for moral damages following the exile for a total value of 260 million euros (274,5 million USD) in addition to the restitution of the assets confiscated from the Savoia family when the monarchy fell.

Emanuele Filiberto is honorary president and advisor to the Board of Directors of Casa Reale Holding Spa which, among its various assets, has the coat of arms of the House of Savoy, its own exclusive banking services club, as well as the football teams Savoia, Real Agro Aversa and Portici.
What remained of the Savoy heritage? After the confiscation of assets sanctioned by the Constitution, the family should not own anything of the royal inheritance. However, it is estimated that the remaining existing Savoia net worth could be worth hundreds of billions in cash, real estate, castles, villas, and companies.
