During the most frenetic years of his extraordinary career, he burned through money at a stupefying rate – later estimated at somewhere between £1.5million and £2million a month – as he indulged himself in twin addictions for and cocaine, as well as a fondness for flowers which caused him to run up a florist's bill for nearly £300,000 in less than two years.But those were in Sir 's days as a single man. Now 76, and contentedly married to Canadian film-maker David Furnish for nearly a decade, he is adding to his fortune in a manner which he – and his accountants – would once have considered completely beyond him.Indeed, I can disclose that, in the past financial year, he and Furnish, 61, have pumped more than £57million into a single company of which they are the only two 'significant' shareholders but of which Furnish is sole director.
