The former 'Emmerdale' star - who has 15-month-old Teddy and daughter Elsie-Rose with wife Caroline - previously revealed he turned to the daytime job to support his family, and he's now admitted it worked wonders on his "sanity" on top of increasing his bank balance.
He told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "I've made a fortune. I'm in between jobs.
"I was just at home, waiting for a phone call to do an audition - I needed something to tick me over.
"I've got a family to support at the end of the day, so I needed some sort of income.
"It's great for my own sanity to get out there and start working."
Previously revealing his role as a property executive, he wrote on Instagram: "yes I am working in the property industry in between jobs because as a jobbing actor you can be out of work... that's just the nature of the business...I haven't nor will I ever turn my back on acting ...but I have a family to support and will carry on doing so...whether it be acting or otherwise . (sic)"
Meanwhile, the former 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!' star will next be seen starring alongside his 2016 camp mate Larry Lamb in the drama 'Pitching In', which he admits was more like a "holiday".
He said: "We spent six weeks filming on a campsite. It was like a holiday.
"It was nice to be back in front of the camera, doing what I love."
Adam previously revealed it was the former 'EastEnders' star who advised him to quit his role as Adam Barton on the ITV soap.
He said: "I remember him giving me some advice, saying, 'You should just get out there, and try other things and take the jump.'
"And the first meeting I had with my boss when I get back to work was, 'Listen, I'm done now. I've made up my mind.'
"And if I hadn't done it then, then I wouldn't have done it."
