No Wonder lotusflow£r.com took the $77 from everyone, he needs it !

As for the people who say $3 million is a drop in the ocean for Prince, it isn't, the quotes about income from touring are wildly off target, as they are normally gross takings, once he's paid tax, venues, touring staff, promoters, logistics, he won't see more than a couple of million for himself, thats why he played the O2 last time, much cheaper logistics. I've managed a tour for a small band and that cost a fortune, its amazing all the things u take for granted that add up.

On top of that are his day to day costs, he constantly has security around him, that costs a fortune, his staff/eployees at Paidley Park, houses he owns/rents all over the place, Paisley park must just eat up money, especially as its not exactly hip for recording up there, its a long time since an REM recorded there.

He's not making for a fortune from sales of his current albums or the back catalogues, his sole income is pretty much touring, and based on how he treated this promoter, the terms he gets for his next tour are not going to be favourable, would u offer insurance for Prince to play a gig ?????

And how much have the divorces cost him ??? then his legal fee's for sending all the lawyers after people on the internet who play his music in the background on home video's on youtube, and he does this all on his own, Warners aren't there picking up the cheque anymore...his last decent selling commercial album was in 1991 .....

There is also this big competition always going on about who takes the most on a tour - Jackson, then U2, Madonna, Prince etc, it used to happen when mega stars signed a new deal in the 80's/90's, the press/industry would always be looking for a bigger deal/story, so the figures would be quoted, you'd never quite know if there true or not, like the footballers wages now.

What the hell are u on about? Competetion? He got what I stated if not more. Now u wanna pull that "you cant trust whats printed" card? LMAO. Yall ar ea stone cold trip

All i'm saying is none of us truly know how much he made

P will call WB and agree to the albums being remastered and re-released for a sum of 3.5 million USD.

oh P Diddy is a friend of Prince and the last time a read an interview with him he was talking about Prince giving him advice .....and he's worth 350 million... so they say ??

He's attmepted to have remasters before but it was curtailed by lawyers on all sides involved. .

Are you sure?

oops, i was off on the amount. it was 'only' 200,000 a month

for pics, see this thread:

http://prince.org/msg/7/302490

i must have mixed it up with the deposit he didn't reclaim,
which was 270.000 dollars.

the 3121 house costed him roughly the same each month iirc.

Is she worth a "reported" 350 million ?

Dangerous one. I've got a mad Aunt from Golders Green who thinks she is a qualified brain surgeon. But if you let her operate then its odds on you'd be blowing raspberries and clapping your hands till your dying day.

Anything in the millions will hurt even if you're a multimillionaire. Prince can easily pay this but who wants to come up off 3 big ones. Even his property tax of 200,000+ will hurt if it's money you weren't planning on spending. Prince needs to fire his money management team and lawyers because they are obviously not looking after his expenses correctly. Prince needs to come down to earth and pay his own bills like regular people and know what's going on with his own money and then he won't have a damn thing to worry about.

Oh for goodness sake.

1) you have no idea if this current late payment is down to mismanagement or not (read the thread if you want to find out why)

2) leaving the hundreds of bills that Prince's large-scale enterprises generate to Prince would DEFINITELY cause a meltdown! When you're dealing in business this big, you get accountants to look after it. FFS - even a 10-employee company will employ a specialised, trained accountant to look after their financials.

Some of you people really have no clue at all!
