After extensive research with various reputable websites i.e Forbes, Fortune 500 and may others I have found that Prince is worth approximately $540 Million

Rich enough to be able to spend $10,000 on a courtside seat at the Lakers game.

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...


No one will ever know unless your name is Prince, L. Londell McMillian or his accountant team. I am more than willing to guess that his net worth is NO WHERE close to what we are all expecting. This is due to the fact that investing is about what you save, not what you earn. He does earn a lot of $$$ such as the ~$10-15m USD for 21 nights. However, he also pays a lot of taxes on that earning in addition to the production costs (roadies, travel, expenses). On top of his expenses is the fact that he has divorced twice. No one will ever know the arrangements of those events but they were not a positive event on his wallet.

His hidden gem is the land that he owns on Lake Reilly (his dad's house that was torn down) and Lake Ann (the house that was recently torn down).

I bet the land on those 2 properties are worth ~$10m. It's public record with Carver county, Minnesota.

I bet his cash flow and savings are about $10m.

All in all, I think he is worth $20m.

i guess i have emphathy for any celeb that's worked as hard as Prince only to have demons in suits steal a good portion of it away. If he can afford that hollywood mansion, the homes in MN and overseas then he doin alright IMHO, but i don't have empathy for the amount of cash he spends on women - too much like a pimp up sexy down situation. but oh well, if mariah can find happiness with nick and Jen can leave Marc right after birthin his babies and jessica can become a country singer then anything is possible and acceptable in the land of fantasy. cool confused

You must not be thinking of the same Prince I am.

Because for all the "Money Dont Matter 2night"'s, there are several real life quotes that directly contradict that.

Money can buy U a room with a view and escort nice company 2 talk with U.
Money can also buy the hour glass that runs out of time trying 2 figure out what 2 spend Ur money on, before U have more than U can keep up with.

I long 4 the day a man tries 2 hold the numbers that move around in his bank account...sounds like a heavy life.

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 know....I just was giving his quote and correcting the year it was signed. Who advised him to sign this? He has only had 2 or 3 albums up to this point to sell over 5 million. Crazy.....

What makes U so sure that everything that everyone has isn't filtered from a hire source and being given 2 U 2 manipulate?

Most of us have the blessed ability 2 manipulate our alphabet's 2 say something positive or something indifferent or something negative.

Who is it that puts words in your mouth?

We are instruments...and the present was on it's way yesterday. 2 morrow is already known in the palm of GOD.

Everything relative 2 their relative comparisons are all a pro-found tug 'o' war in a heart that is not your heart but our heart. cool
