What is Calvin Harris’ net worth in 2025? The Scottish music producer accuses his former financial advisor of $22.5M theft for real estate project

Scottish record producer and DJ Calvin Harris, whose real name is Adam Richard Wiles, has an allegation against his former financial advisor, Thomas St. John, aka TSJ. According to a report by People Magazine from September 16, he claimed that John took away $22.5 million to run a real estate project in Hollywood. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Harris has a net worth of $300 million.

An arbitration demand has been lodged at the Superior Court of California on September 12. As per the complaint, John and his other associates exploited Calvin Harris. John worked with the musician for 13 years, starting in 2012.

The legal documents mentioned that in 2020, John and his people developed a project named CMNTY Culture Campus. This real estate venture was supposed to be in Hollywood, and it aimed to create a space for musicians, artists, and others from the profession. There were supposed to be office spaces, lounges, and studios.

Three years later, John allegedly asked for money from Harris for the project, without spilling many details about what it was about. Subsequently, a few financial transactions were made, and according to Calvin Harris’s legal representative:

“To this day, Claimants do not know where Claimants’ investment has gone or what it has been used for. In any event, Respondents had no intention of Mr. Wiles actually receiving back the full value of his investment, through distributions or otherwise.”

As per the formal request, Calvin Harris did not receive any monetary benefit from the investment made in the company. Besides, the project has not yet been materialised.

What did TSJ’s attorney say about Calvin Harris’s legal step?

The payment from Harris was supposedly broken down into two parts, $10 million and $12.5 million, amounting to $22.5 million. Meanwhile, Calvin Harris’s lawyer argued that the first payment was supposed to be returned by January 2025, which hasn’t yet been cleared. The demand reads:

“Mr. Wiles has not received a single penny in return for that investment, and, indeed, respondents have not even started developing or building the project. In fact, shortly after Mr. Wiles purportedly made this $12.5 million investment, TSJ … distributed over $11 million dollars to himself.”

Legal representative for Thomas St. John, Sasha Frid, shared a statement with Variety, noting that Calvin Harris was not the only investor in the project. The project is described as one that comprises 750 apartments in two towers. According to Frid, Harris was assiduously interested in the venture. Frid also claimed:

“Unhappy with the pace of the project, he chose to pursue private arbitration to assert his discontent. It’s no secret that due to interest rates and other market factors real estate projects are taking longer to build. But the development is very much viable and expected to have a $900+ million valuation when completed. Mr. St. John denies any wrongdoing.”

According to Variety, the condition of the project has reportedly worsened following the arbitration demand.
