Multi-millionaire DJ Calvin Harris shuns Hollywood lifestyle for surprising new ‘job’
AS one of the world’s highest-paid DJs, Calvin Harris has enjoyed the glitz and glamour of the showbiz world ever since he burst into the charts 15 years ago.
But after selling his two multi-million-pound mansions in Los Angeles two years ago, he has kept a low profile — and is now working as a farmer in Ibiza.
I can reveal he snapped up a 138-acre farm called Terra Masia, which means he is now a resident on the White Isle alongside Idris Elba and James Blunt.
The plot is Ibiza’s largest organic farm, producing veg, eggs, wine and farm-to-table meals, and hosts special events such as weddings.
A source said: “Calvin employs an expert team including farmers and chefs. But that hasn’t stopped him getting involved and he regularly gets his hands dirty, helping to plant seeds and everything else involved in running a farm. He is really passionate about what he and the team are doing.”
Calvin’s huge beard and the fleeces he’s been wearing recently now make sense.
The Scots DJ, who has had ten UK No1 singles and two No1 albums, previously revealed he got his green fingers after two of his collaborations with singers were ditched at the last minute in 2019.

He said: “I thought, ‘That’s two songs that have fallen through now — maybe I need to do a little bit of gardening’.
“So I grew a few carrots, a few celeries and eventually I have come back to a place where I wanted to make something, especially after last year, that was relentlessly positive.”
Last week Calvin dropped his new single, Lonely with Riva Starr, via his side project Love Regenerator.
Now his farm is up and running, I’m sure fans hope there’s more music ahead.
Top work by Miley
WITH Covid restrictions easing, lots of people are heading back to the office after almost two years of working from home.
But some people are finding it easier to adjust than others – just look at Miley Cyrus.
She posted this photo on Instagram and wrote: “Day at the office.”
I think only a multi-millionaire pop star could get away with an outfit like that – especially given that she had the zip down to flash her chest – and not get a talking to from HR.
Miley is currently hard at work on her eighth studio album which is expected out this year.
By the looks of things, she will be just as outrageous as ever when it comes to promoting it.
Katy’s looking plastic fantastic
FORGET another album – if Katy Perry’s fans want a new vinyl release they’ll have to make do with this outfit.
Katy wore the burgundy two-piece in New York as she left rehearsals for the US comedy show Saturday Night Live, which she is set to perform on tonight.
The Never Really Over singer, who was photographed going on a date with her fiance Orlando Bloom later on Thursday evening, is appearing on the programme to promote her Las Vegas residency Play, which she has just extended until August.
She tweeted: “Can’t wait to bring my slice of Sin City to the Big Apple.”
Knowing Katy, it will go off like a Firework.
George Ezra’s lockdown locks
GEORGE EZRA found the silver lining to lockdown – it allowed him to upgrade his hairstyle.
The Shotgun singer, who now has longer locks, said: “Lockdown sorted the hair out because I had no choice but to grow it. I was like, ‘Dude, you should have been doing this ages ago’.”
George revealed his third album, Gold Rush Kid – out in June – is inspired by embracing the positives of life as a pop star now that he can get back out on the road again.
He told Hits Radio: “In the last two years I’ve allowed myself to be overwhelmed by the idea of touring and doing stuff publicly
“It’s not going to last forever, so I just need to enjoy it while it’s here. I’ve met people, seen things and been to places that I never should have, and I’ve loved that.”
