How rich is Prince?

What's his estimated net. worth as of 2008?

Is he now richer than he has ever been?

If not when was he the richest taking into consideration earnings, assets, investments etc

Go on, some1 tell me how much cash P has & depress me neutral

Who knows shrug

And I don't care, I surely won't get depressed about someone else's money who has earned it fairly, in opposite to others. It's the news of the day, people stealing other people's money, now THAT gets me depressed.

There sure has been a tight lid on his money. I have never heard anything about his worth. I know in the late 80's I have a news report about Paisley Park losing $1000's by the week and he had to let workers go....then a sure hero saved him...Batman. I guess he got paid pretty good from that soundtrack. The interview caught P and Kim B. getting into his bright blue benz. She asked "Is it true you and Kim are making an album together?" Prince: "ahhhh Nope." Then he backed into her with the car.

I also remember in the mid 90's the rumors were back about his money going bad...."For all of ya'll sweatin' the NPG bank roll I loke to ask ya'll chill', it' all good." I remember the big thing about Emancipation was the $11 million dollar payday he got.

I never really heard about his networth. Just about what was in a local paper about Prince paying about $30 grand in taxes in 1987. His pay in 1992 and 2004. The big news was always the wasted money...Carmen Electra (and others), movies, videos, props....I guess he really spends like crazy.

1988-1989: Money problems
1989-1990: Big payday from Batman
1991-1992: Prince was #4 on Forbs with $50 million earned per CNN report
1994-1996: Money problems (failed projects / WB fight / poor sales / etc.)
1996-1997: Emancipation payday
1997-2004: N / A
2004-2008: Big payday from Musicology tour / 21nights / albums / concerts /etc.

Does anyone remember or have the poster with Prince on the bed and Mayted sitting behind him (Prince is on his stomach) with the big gold girl with wings as a head board? I have the poster but when I was visiting Paisley Park one day I saw that prop out behind by the dumpster.....just a little info I never shared...

Prince has never let his money shape his personality. Apart from hiring security 24/7 because he needs it (some of you fans are crazy lol )

Exactly, given the time when Prince signed a 100 million record deal in the 90's Id say that it was then he was at his richest having just finished the Diamonds & Pearls era and still receiving cash for Batman. Im right are, nt I.. smile

Back in the 80's???? He signed it in 1992..."I wanted the first 100 million dollar contract and I did".

No one in the 80's (sports / music / anything) was getting 100 million in the 80's.

Just for the record Prince did not get paid $100million. That was the estimated worth of the advances IF and only IF each album sold 5million plus copies (the contract was drawn up following the 6million success of D&P). The fact that his follow up album prince only sold 2 million is one of the reasons he fell out with Warners Bros because he felt they were not promoting it enough (and he would not therefore get his $10million advance on his next album).
'I loved him then, I love him now and will love him eternally. He's with our son now.' Mayte 21st April 2016 = the saddest quote I have ever read! RIP Prince and thanks for everything.
