Adam did an interview back in 2009 when he talked about being conservative with money and how he had lived in LA for a long time, had seen people make a lot of money and spend more, ending up with nothing. He went on to talk about how he wanted to have longevity and talked about financial planning, and so on. It was on video, so I can't find it right now. Maybe I will look tonight.
My observation is that Adam is very cautious about what he pays for and who he pays for. He is very generous to his family, particularly his him. He certainly paid for trips with Sauli, Drake and other people who he had intimate relationship with. Many of his trips and big events are business expenses -- like NOLO trip with Drake to visit his family which was coincident with a private performance.
I do not recall any information about Adam paying for things for his friends, he certainly does not fund an entourage.
I am sure he picks up the check now and then, and he might have paid for the villa in Mykonos, but I don't see any evidence to base an assumption on.

If I were one of his friends, I would offer to pay the equivalent of a normal hotel at least. If they went without adam, they'd probably pay a couple hundred per night each. It would seem reasonable that they may chip in that much

IMHO and believe me It's just a guess.. I think Adam treats for a dinner or two,small amounts here and there.. He has many loyal friends and doesn't have to pay for an entourage .. He works soooo hard for everything he has..so I think he is generous but not crazy with his money $21,000 for a 7 day stay seems very pricey.. I think he may have, that once upon a time, roach infested apartment in the back of his mind and IMO is pretty conservative with his money...... but who really knows the REAL Adam?????To add I think his friends might feel uncomfortable if he treated them alot..It kinda changes the friendship.

I'm betting Adam paid for lodging - looks like villas start at $3000 a night without special events happening on the island, and then everyone else paid flights and other expenses which would still be significant. I'd also bet Adam might have given money to a trusted surrogate that friends could approach if they were short. SaveThere's a lot of speculation and we'll never know (I hope) who paid for what. But while we can probably assume Adam treated the group to something at some point during the vacation, these guys are adult men with jobs and I hope they can manage their pocket money! Just sayin'... It's got to be kind of touch thing when you are the wealthiest person in a group. Who pays for what? Who is EXPECTED to pay? I think it may get uncomfortable sometimes. But maybe not on this trip with Adam and his friends. My guess is that is was all worked out. Adam has said that he does like to "watch his money." I don't think he's extravagant in some ways (maybe clothes, LOL). I've heard of lottery winners who won multi-millions and it virtually ruined their lives. Everyone they ever knew came out of the woodwork expecting to be given money. It can be a really bad thing unless it's handled correctly. I don't think Adam footed the bill for everyone in his group, but he may have put in a little larger share. We'll never know.

(((Barbls23))) @barbls23 @tritonal & Jenaux ft. Adam Lambert #Broken #32 "BUZZANGLE's Streaming Pop Song Chart (Entire U.S.) 8/19-23! Broken seems to have some staying power! It's hanging in there quite well. I'd love to see it break into the regular Billboard chart, but that's really unlikely. Hope Adam's next album has a BIG hit in it.

Sorry to be so late to the discussion, but I was surprised to read in yesterday's thread that some people think Adam's done the heterosexual photoshoot (was it Details?) to get into the mainstream. That was the (completely wrong IMO) viewpoint of that Out editor, what's his name, who recently did the bed interview with Adam. For me it was like, just in the moment he placed and branded himself as gay, and when everybody were expecting him to do something daring and outrageous in that direction, he went and did something daring the other direction. I was so surprised when I saw that photoshoot I started laughing. I love that he's able to surprise me like that! And besides being interesting, it was also a declaration of independence, saying he can do whatever he chooses. Why can't he be gay and shoot sexy photos with a female model?
For some reason it reminds me of the Miley Cyrus "scandal", when she performed with Robin Thicke. Watching it on my TV I again started laughing. I liked how she took the "logic" of the song and ran with it, with all her grinding and slutty moves, like "OK, you're right, I really really want it, just like you say, now whatcha gonna do about it?" and made him look, forgive me, like an old fart, who can only talk the talk with his chauvinistic song, but can't walk the walk. For me that was a young woman's declaration of independence, that society (or parts of it) couldn't cope with, just like it couldn't cope with Adam's, and chose to interpret in a completely different way.

Music-News.com @musicnewsweb Tritonal & Jenaux feat. Adam Lambert - Broken dlvr.it/M6MfcT Go read this! Great review! Broken deserves to be a massive break out hit. It is without doubt one of the strongest single releases of 2016 so far.Very well written review. For me, it recognizes Adam's vocal talent, transformation, and appeal as an artist. "Having removed the plastic exterior to his showmanship, he is able to be an entertainer who really hits for the core of his listener."

Jason Sky posted an instagram picture with a message re his trip to Mykonos. It may not answer the specifics some were asking or thinking about, such as who paid what etc.etc. However in my mind the vacation was not inexpensive for Jason and it was a lot of flying time. Glad they had a great experience! Now we may have a repeat boys vacation with the destination unknown---- as per Jovan's comment to the post below "The LIVE was real! With all the favs except Bert n Lynn but man oh man! 2017 where will u take us now""M I S S I N G : M Y K O N O S
This vacation was worth all the time, investment, money, and 40+ flight hours. Mykonos is an amazing island, full of beautiful people and energy. And sharing it with my closest friends was the perfect way to do it. Grateful for the countless laughs and memories, gags, character building, and the fortified bonding individually and collectively. This shit went OFF! Until next year... #BoysTrip #Mykonos #Greece #love #light #greattimes #summer16 #jskystylefav"I am sure that Adam found a way to be generous without running the risk of being taken advantage of. He very likely is the wealthiest of them all but there are ways for real friends to contribute and make a conscious commitment while still being treated to a vacation they could never afford on their own. Adam may have paid for a big chunk of the accommodations and most meals together. I hope it was a good break for him.
