DJ Calvin Harris claims his previous financial advisor misappropriated $22.5 million of his money to finance a failing real estate project in Hollywood.
Okay, so I’ve been following Calvin Harris for *years*, and I just saw this insane news! Apparently, he’s claiming this guy, Thomas St. John, and some others totally exploited him – like, systematically took advantage of him. He actually filed a legal demand for arbitration – I saw it, PEOPLE magazine got a copy! It’s all happening, and honestly, I’m so upset for him. He deserves so much better!
He’s accusing his financial advisor, whom he’s worked with for 13 years, of pressuring him into investing in CMNTY Culture Campus, a California project planned to house recording studios, artist lounges, and offices.
I’ve been following this case closely, and it seems like St. John began looking for funding for this project back in early 2021. But by 2023, they hit a financial snag and turned to Harris – who, let’s be real, is incredibly wealthy, with a net worth of around £250 million – hoping for a quick injection of cash to keep things afloat.
According to reports, St. John didn’t share his real goals and offered no explanation, simply sending Harris DocuSign forms that contained significantly false information.
Based on the project’s needs, the musician contributed a total of $22.5 million, providing a $10 million loan and investing $12.5 million in equity.
DJ Harris, whose full name is Adam Richard Wiles, claims that shortly after he invested, St. John directed the company to send $11.7 million to a company he owns.
Harris’s attorneys claim the real estate investment was either a total failure or a deliberate scam.
To this day, the investors still don’t know what happened to their money or how it was used.
Regardless, the people involved never intended for Mr. Wiles to get his entire investment back, either through payments or any other means.
Mr. Wiles hasn’t seen any return on his investment, and the project hasn’t even begun development.
The projects were changed last year to focus on building homes because of changes in the market. It’s claimed that Harris wasn’t informed about this decision.
According to St. John’s legal team, Harris is one of the investors in a new development project. The project will feature two towers with a total of 750 apartments, including 90 designated as affordable housing. It will also include outdoor areas, creative spaces, and retail shops.
Sasha Frid, a lawyer from St. John’s, told the publication that Harris was proactively working to make this project happen.
He was frustrated with how slowly the project was moving, so he decided to try and resolve the issue through private arbitration. It’s well known that rising interest rates and current market conditions are causing delays in real estate projects.
The project is likely to succeed and is projected to be worth over $900 million once finished. Mr. St. John states he has not done anything wrong.
Harris’ lawyers state he loaned $10 million expecting to be repaid by January 31, 2025, but he hasn’t received either the original loan amount or the interest.
The claim also states that when Harris inquired about his money, he received very little information from the respondents, and what he did receive was often inconsistent. St. John stopped acting as Harris’ financial advisor in April.
This news follows just two months after Harris and his wife, Vick Hope, welcomed their son, Micah, on July 20th.
Hope, age 35, gave birth at home in a pool of water at her property in Ibiza, traveling there after starting her maternity leave.
Harris shared the news of his son’s birth on Instagram last month, expressing his joy and admiration for his wife. He announced that Micah arrived on July 20th, calling his wife a ‘superhero’ and praising her strength and wisdom. He ended by saying they are incredibly grateful and love their son very much.
I recently shared a really personal glimpse into our family life – a photo of my wife relaxing in the birthing pool, and another sweet moment of me holding our newborn son, Micah, for the very first time. It felt right to share those intimate, raw feelings with everyone.
The post caused some controversy because it featured a graphic photo of Hope’s placenta. She then processed it by drying and grinding it into a powder and putting it into pills.
