Enterprises in The U.S. and Europe

After selling his business in the U.S., Curry and his family moved to the Netherlands in 1999, where Curry hosted a morning talk/music show for Radio Veronica. He also landed various television assignments and his family briefly starred in the reality show Adam's Family.

Curry and two business partners founded the multimedia company United Resources of Jamby in 1999. It was to act as an incubator and cultivator for new internet-related businesses. The business was ultimately unsuccessful. Curry's participation in Kennisnet, another venture to introduce the internet to Dutch schools, ended in a bitter argument and lawsuits. Sportus.nl, an online webshop in collaboration with Dutch athletes like Marcel Wouda, Jacco Eltingh, Ron Zwerver and Daniƫlle Overgaag, started in 1999, went bankrupt in 2001. Another content exchange project, Freedom Controller, was cancelled in 2002.

In 2000 he and business partner Simon Cavendish, a participant in his earlier ventures, founded the RotorJet company to offer helicopter services. The company filed for bankruptcy in 2005. In the subsequent dispute, Cavendish seized the assets of the company, and in April 2005, Curry was ordered by a Dutch court to repay approximately US$2 million that he had withdrawn from RotorJet.

Since 1999, Curry has, at one time or another, owned homes in Belgium, Guildford, London.

As of 2007, Curry hosts the podcast No Agenda with John C. Dvorak, a political analysis and political satire show, that claims to have no hidden agenda and does not accept any advertising, being solely supported by the listeners.

Additionally, Curry describes himself as a "bi-curious male". In 2009, he announced that he and wife Patricia Paay were divorcing, and that he was living in Los Angeles with his new partner Micky Hoogendijk. As of July 2012 the couple have become married.
