What is Adele's net worth? Singer has 3 houses in LA, says London homes are costly
Can you imagine top global stars not able to afford anything they wish for? Well, this might stand true in the case of British crooner Adele as she recently revealed that she could not afford to buy properties in London and that is one of the reasons why she moved to LA. The multiple Grammy-winning singer's recent comments during a British Vogue left many on social media stunned.
Shedding light on buying houses in LA, the 33-year-old singer-songwriter asserted, “I wanted fresh air and somewhere I could see the sky.” She added, “Also, once I had Angelo, in England if you haven’t got a plan with a young child and it’s raining, you’re [expletive]. And the kind of house I have in LA I could never afford in London. Ever." The singer continued, “I looked at houses. It’s like hundreds of millions of pounds. I don’t have that much money at all. I’d throw up." Adele, as of now, boasts three ultra-luxurious homes in the Hidden Valley section of Beverly Hills, LA. “My place in London is very European. It’s like Italian or something. I don’t even want to sit down in it”, quipped Adele.
