$200,000/mo is Mind blowing!!! Sure is a beautiful "house" for lack of a better word...mansion...castle...

Purely speculating, I wonder if it helps on his taxes, as a business expense maybe...

-----

that is just unreal that some one would pay that much
money per month on RENT!!!!!
My God in 6 months you have paid enough to flat out BUY a
BEAUTIFUL home!!!!!
Renting is dumb too cause you get NO Tax Benifits from it
My husband is in the Mortgage Business and its throwing
money away..
Altho I guess when you have as much Bread as HE has who cares
huh??
Its scary.. our house is WORTH $330,000..(we owe $180,000)
He could flat out pay for our house Free and clear with his
ONE month Rent...
Sheesh.....

I don't like the house either.. it looks cold and kinda
Depressing to me.....

Gives TOTALLY new meaning to the phrase "nice place to visit but I wouldn't wanna live there..."








Funny, it looks a lot like the place from The Godfather, you know, the scene with the horse head...

I get the business "write-off" thing....The only issue and I'm sure (hope) Prince has thought through is the last house he rented (that I know of - 3121?).....It seems that he loves to "personalize" everything (like painting a house purple?) He's gotten into trouble with that in the past.....I bet he's got that covered this time.... beautiful house!!! talk about "heaven"!!

$200,000 a month is $2.4 million a year!
He could buy it and own it in 30 years for less!

Staying in a 9 bedroom house is kinda lonely. I'll keep him company.

there is absolutely no need, Prince. no need.

I was about to say something similar. P is a very smart man and this is a great tax write off.

Um, The twins got into the wine cellar that's why they aren't on tour.

Nice

Try to look at it as Rent (Lease) with an option to buy if that helps..... Just can't see Prince locking in on any one place for 30yrs with the way Real Estate is right now.... They are lucky to be renting the place...nobody is buying in a sinking market....he's too smart 4 that.

I don't know about that 200k per month thing, all I would need is about 2 weeks vacation there. I'm no stalker but does anyone know if they have extreamly high or electric gates & what about dogs??? I'm more than sure it's a gated community damn! I was just thinking about where I should vacation next. I couuld just camp out by the pool or the firepit in a duffle bag and roast some marsh mellows, I won't even bother anyone. When I get hungry I just need access to the kitchen and the bathroom with the jacuzzi. Hell that's just about all I need oh & a nice bottle of wine.

ur silly....I think it said it is on 2 acres.....I'm guessing security cameras and lots of other stuff... you make me laugh...I would expect that he plans to have some guests you'll just have to wait for now

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say 200K isn't Sh.t to him.

I mean...I'm just not shocked or impressed...
