Quick! How much money does Prince make a year?

Based on my rather, robust Texas A&M finance degree, I would say:

Subscription Fees from NPG Music Club:
15,000 Members @ $100: $1,500,000

Royalties from WB Music Publishing: $2,200,000

Average of ~ 60 Gigs/Year
2300 Tickets Show*$60*60*.70 $5,790,000

Gross of $9,490,000/Year

Take out:

Salaries for Paisley Park Staff: $650,000
Lawyers/Acct Fees: $500,000
Mortgage/Tax for Toronto Home: $160,000
Tax/Upkeep on Paisley Park: $190,000
Personal Tax: $4,550,000
Band Retainer (4): $380,000
Clothiers: $170,000
Engineer Retainer: $120,000
Bus/Plane Rentals: $80,000
Road Crew (14): $290,000
Tax/Upkeep on Minn Home: $90,000

Left over to play with... $2,430,000

Who cares and really how do you know these figures? I think Prince is Entitled to some Privacy on this matter and furthermore I think You Suck for even nosying about this. It's his business and his money and who Cares! Prince is not in his Art for the Money but he must Live and Eat so please respect his Privacy and leave these issues closed. I would never want more Stress put on him before an extensive tour. Leave him be cause he is a Genius and Fine and Magnificent. And to any one of you Trolls calling him old well Fuck You!

Everybody around here says oh,he's 44 oh he's an old man. He is quite on top of things and his music is Great. Maybe he's changed styles ,but that's par for the course with Prince. Leave my baby Prince alone. Treat him like the Hunk and Genius he is. Don't worry or even bring up certain things about him to me. I couldn't care less or give a Fig and neither should you. Noseybodies.
