From Party Boy to Country Life: The Wild Transformation of Calvin Harris!

BBG News

A decade ago, Calvin Harris was living the Hollywood dream.

Originating from the tranquil market town of Dumfries, Scotland, he departed for a fresh start. Now, he owned a splendid new mansion and resided in the vibrant city of Las Vegas. Moreover, he was romantically involved with renowned pop icon Taylor Swift.

Previously employed at a fish processing plant to finance his DJ equipment, he has since amassed an impressive property portfolio featuring multiple properties in Los Angeles, among them a grand 10-bedroom, 12-bathroom mansion in Beverly Hills, which was sold for £20million in 2022.

In 2020, a £5 million property in Hollywood Hills and a £10.75 million property in Bel Air were previously part of his real estate holdings.

However, he chose to abandon his busy lifestyle and moved to the peaceful Cotswolds, aiming for a settled existence alongside radio host Vick Hope. Her recent appearance with an apparent baby bump has sparked rumors that they might be preparing for their first child.

The pair are smitten, despite her turning him down in 2007 when he was a fledging star.

Nowadays, life has shifted from the bustle of Las Vegas nightclubs to a tranquil existence on a sprawling 138-acre farm in Ibiza named Terra Masia. This farm is renowned for being Ibiza’s largest organic farm, growing an abundance of fruit, vegetables, and wine.

Apart from their usual residence, they occasionally stay at a £3.9 million mansion located in the Cotswolds as well. They plan to relocate there permanently after the ongoing renovations are completed by the end of this year.

In 2023, Vick disclosed in an interview with You magazine that the event almost didn’t transpire between them. Initially, he was turned down by his partner. However, they reminisce over this amusing incident from their first significant date, still chuckling about it to this day.

As a well-known television and radio host from Britain, Vick frequently encountered this individual at musical gatherings. Remarkably, they reconnected with one another in the year 2022.

Calvin and Vick have chosen to keep their romance under wraps, and they tied the knot in the northeastern part of England during September 2023.

When asked about her wedding plans in May 2022, Hope replied to Hello: ‘Well, there’s been a lot of interest in it, but I prefer to keep the details of my personal life confidential. To be honest, this is something new for me, as I’ve never had such attention on my private affairs, but it’s just between us.’

In her conversation with You Magazine, she clarified that there is a distinction between secrecy and privacy. She explained that their decision to keep off social media isn’t about hiding something but rather valuing their private moments as genuine real-life experiences that are solely theirs to enjoy.

I am thrilled to share that my latest project has garnered admiration from the community and architectural enthusiasts. After carefully dismantling a rather unappealing post-war structure, I proudly constructed a magnificent Cotswold country home in its stead.

Last year, in 2021, the creator of One Kiss lodged a request with the Cotswold District Council, presenting architectural designs by Ben Pentreath – often referred to as the preferred architect of King Charles. Notably, this same architect has also undertaken projects for the Prince and Princess of Wales.

Besides being recognized for other things, it’s well-known that Vick takes pleasure in spending time in Ibiza, her farmhouse on the beautiful Spanish island, alongside her husband.

In the early stages of their relationship, Calvin is said to have brought Vick to the farm secretively on several occasions. Furthermore, it’s rumored that he proposed marriage to her in a romantic setting beneath a large tree on the land.

As I prepare for another season of my residency at Ushuaia in Ibiza, my passion for this remarkable region will undoubtedly serve me well. This renowned club, nestled nearby my Spanish countryside home, is where I take center stage every Friday throughout the summer months.

Though I may no longer hold the glamorous title of “Mr Hollywood,” I’m fortunate enough to collaborate with some truly regal figures such as Dua Lipa and Rihanna in my professional endeavors.

Adam Wiles, also known as Calvin, shifted base to London with a £4,000 savings, aiming to meet potential vocalists who would trust him and collaborate on his songs.

In a twist of fate, I found myself depleted of funds and compelled to return to my Scottish roots, living once more under the same roof as my dear parents. Yet, the fire within me refused to dwindle, and I continued to share my music on MySpace, hoping it would reach the right ears. Miraculously, someone in the industry took notice, and in 2006, I was granted a contract with Sony BMG.

In 2008, his major opportunity arose as he teamed up with rap artist Dizzee Rascal to create their hit single Dance wiv Me, which he was responsible for producing.

In 2009, he released his second album Ready for the Weekend which entered at number one.

By 2011, he was touring with Rihanna, now being recognised all around the world.

From 2012 through 2018, he had ongoing residencies at Wynn Las Vegas and Hakkasan, renewing his contracts each year during that period.

He held a residency at Caesar’s Palace that was estimated to be worth around £200 million, but he concluded it in 2020, stating that the ongoing commitment was hindering his creative flow.

In 2013, his earnings reached a staggering £35 million, making him the top-earning DJ that year.

Over time, his wealth expanded significantly as he was listed as the 30th wealthiest British millionaire in the music industry on the 2015 Sunday Times Rich List, boasting a personal fortune worth approximately £70 million.

It’s thought he’s now worth close to £250million.

As Calvin Harris traveled the globe spinning DJ sets and amassing substantial wealth, his love life mirrored the glamorous drama often seen in Hollywood.

In 2013 he dated Rita Ora, now 34, who was also at the height of her early career.

A year later, he disclosed their separation via Twitter, an action that allegedly took her by surprise at the moment.

Subsequently, he began a relationship with American model Aarika Wolf in 2014, following her appearance in the music video of his track titled ‘Blame’.

After their previous relationship concluded, he later started dating the highly acclaimed singer, Taylor Swift (currently 35), for approximately a year from 2015 to 2016.

The well-known duo collaborated on one of Calvin Harris’s biggest hits, “This Is What You Came For.” However, it seems their relationship ended due to difficulties managing their respective professional obligations.

In the year 2017, they rekindled their romance, but by 2022, their relationship hit a rough patch due to his frequent travels to Ibiza from the U.S., which put a strain on their bond.
