Just channel surfing and caught Fearne Cotton following Craig David in LA and Miami. The man drives a Ferrari, has bought a penthouse suite in a Miami hotel and seems to be living the American Dream.
I'm literally amazed at his lifestyle. Well done to him and all that but how can he afford all this? Sure he had success in the uk in the 90's but his last few albums were failures. So where is he getting the money from?

Assume he made some investments etc? And I think (but not sure) single/album sales used to be higher back then? Or is it the otherway around - oh wells

He started off doing really well, then with each album he done worse and worse it appears.

probably worth 5-10mil, more than enough for what you mentioned but nothing compared to other music artists.

but my point is his last couple of albums have been commercial failures. Sure he had success at the start of his career but just that money can't carry him for ever especially with the lifestyle he has now.

They touched on his career as a designer (designs hotels/properties) so that could be one sideline investment.

Sounds like he's a shrew investor by the sound of things .
