Courtney Love estimates she’s lost about $27 million in her tumultuous hard-rock life.
“I know that’s a lifetime of money to most people,” Love tells Britain’s Daily Mail. “But I’m a big girl, it’s rock ’n’ roll, it’s Nirvana money, I had to let it go,” she said, referring to the band founded by her late husband, Kurt Cobain.
Refusing to show signs of bitterness, the 50-year-old singer, songwriter and actress explained that her current income allows her to enjoy a comfortable life.
“I make enough to live on. I’m financially solvent. I focus on what I make now.”
Love attributed her overwhelming misfortunes with money to a number of settled lawsuits, adding that she is still in the midst of upholding her name in court in several libel cases which deal with claims related to her use of prescription drugs.
She’ll soon be joining the cast of the FX series “Sons of Anarchy.”
