The real reason Lewis Capaldi still lives with his parents

In the past, Lewis Capaldi has been known to joke with the press about the fact that he spends all of his earnings on food. In an interview with the Daily Star in September 2019, he cheekily stated he “can’t help stuffing [his] face,” but the reason for his current living arrangement might have more practical roots. 

According to the Evening Standard, in April 2019, the singer-songwriter took to Instagram to issue a resounding clap back after discovering his alleged net worth online, which, according to Forbes and Wikipedia, was an estimated £8 million (the equivalent of almost $10 million USD). 

“I’ve got less than £200 in my bank right now so who the f**k has got my $10 million,” Capaldi said in a video posted to his Instagram Stories, despite having sold out arenas for his shows and garnering a Grammy nomination in 2019. “‘I still live with my mum and f***ing dad.” He added, “I’ve had the same bedroom since I was 12 years old and you mean to tell me there’s £10 million?”

Since Capaldi’s post, both Forbes and Wikipedia have seemingly taken down any references to the artist’s earnings.
