The 55-year-old writer admitted that he was still digesting what had happened when he went on stage in Barcelona to thank him for this honour. “This is so amazing, so wonderful, this is one of those things that only seems to happen to other people. Seeing myself here seems like a miracle to me, and it makes me remember the difficult moments when my life seemed destined for failure. “It’s the best thing in life, you never know,” he said afterwards, looking emotional.
A few weeks later, it was Noria Rocahis partner for more than two decades, who takes a local, honest and most entertaining look at the economic buzz that accompanies the award. Guest on the podcast Zodiacl VanitatisThe broadcaster spoke frankly about money, coexistence and priorities. And she did it with her trademark sense of humor. “Who gets half? Tax authorities” he said sarcastically between laughs. Immediately afterwards, he dropped the phrase that made the most headlines: “It’s all already been spent. Not entered and already spent before accessing the account.
Far from flaunting his sudden wealth, Rocca explained that, like most, they have financial obligations: “Man, of course, I have a mortgage like everyone else, so everything is overspent.” However, the couple wants to pamper themselves a little to celebrate such an extraordinary moment.

While the award continues to spark conversations on networks and social gatherings, the couple also commented on the topic The rockPresenter programme. There, the collaborators discussed how much money would be needed for retirement. Del Val took the opportunity to joke: “With a million planets, I can go home.” But he immediately launched an affectionate taunt at his wife for her recent remarks: “Where do you say we spent the prize? But I didn’t put it together.”
