Property Development
Now, let’s focus a bit on the man who owned the iconic voice. According to his Facebook page biography, Gillan’s interests aside from music include writing, hiking, soccer, and getting updated on his family and the news. What they didn’t include in that biography is that the singer has an affinity for property development. Gillan even spent close to 750,000 bucks for one property – this abandoned manor specifically.
In The Countryside
Gillian made the massive transaction in 1973. Back then, he must have considerable income from the peak of Deep Purple’s fame. The rock star reportedly spent £100,000 on a huge supply of brick and mortar in the countryside. That amount is estimated to be $130,000 with the current exchange rate. The grandiose estate Gillan purchased was located in a town called Wallingford in Oxfordshire.
