How Did David Gahan Get So Rich?

This is a backbone of his musical career. But he decided to go solo in 2003. So far, Gahan released two solo albums, Paper Monsters and Hourglass.
With his high net worth, Gahan can easily afford luxurious real estate properties. In 2009, he sold his condominium for $4 million and purchased a $6 million penthouse instead. It’s located in Battery Park City. But his life isn’t only fun a money. He had to overcome many serious personal problems, such as drug addiction and also cancerous tumor in his bladder.
“Not many people come back to life from a speedball (a shot of heroin and cocaine), the way Dave describes it is God’s calling to get your shit together and do something to fix your life up cues Prince’s voice. He hasn’t had a drink nor drug ever since, it is an accomplishment but what surprised me was his accountability for his actions, the aftermath of it is astounding. This was during the recording of ‘Ultra’, [1997] life has never been the same ever since.” — WordPress
