In September 2005, he entered the Classe préparatoire ENS Cachan at Lycée Turgot, but did not continue into the second year.

In 2006, he began law studies at Paris 1 Panthéon‑Sorbonne University; he failed the second year twice before passing on his third attempt in September 2009.

By summer 2011, at age 25, he had earned a law degree with honours via correspondence from the Centre audiovisuel d’études juridiques.

He continued with two master’s degrees in private law and business law, completing a Master 2 (research) in heritage law in 2013 but failing the bar exam.

Career

Jean Sarkozy began his political involvement with the Union for a Popular Movement (UMP).

In 2008, at age 21, he became a general councillor in Hauts‑de‑Seine for the Neuilly‑sur‑Seine‑Sud canton.

In 2009, he was nominated to head EPAD, the agency managing La Défense, Europe’s largest business district—this sparked widespread criticism over nepotism, prompting a public petition, and he ultimately withdrew from the position.

He later served in academic or legal roles, including teaching business law in Créteil and working in a law firm associated with his father’s interests.

Net worth

Jean Sarkozy’s net worth is estimated at between US $1 million and US $5 million as of the early 2020s, primarily derived from his political roles.

Controversy

Jean Sarkozy’s nomination to EPAD in 2009 prompted strong accusations of nepotism, including public petitions and polling indicating 64 % of French citizens opposed the appointment.

He later stepped back amid the backlash.

Another incident occurred in 2007 when police took DNA from his helmet to recover a stolen scooter— an unusual response that attracted media attention.
