if he has any missing kids from the 80's(the man was a rebel and not mongamous)

then child support will drain him too

He's been near broke before, and recovered with something big under his belt. His problem is he can't ration his money, and constantly goes through these phases of flux where he's loaded, then where he's hurtin' for liquid assets.

Nah. His name alone is worth millions. He's always gonna have someone to pay him to do a concert or a one off performance or an album or a freaking video game if he felt like it. (Not that he would, I'm just saying...) He'll be fine.

Prince esta muerto...

Maybe, maybe not (touring at 70), but his royalties will be paid to him as long as he lives. And with his publishing worth around $200million dollars, I don't think he's ever in danger of being broke. Of course, you NEVER know tho..........

maybe it all hinges on whether he spends more than he makes ?

MJ was said to be broke despite what he was worth, although i dont know if that was true

hopefully prince's expenses will never dwarf his earnings, although it wouldnt surprise me if they do

he comes across as always scrambling around for money, i find it odd that he places such an importance on it for someone so apparently lucrative

maybe he knows he needs to keep earning big dollars to sustain his lifestyle

or do you think he's just greedy?

this too shall pass

WTF is wrong with you dude. You have no idea what is going on with P's money eek As long as he does not sell the rights to his music he will never be really broke. It is about assets.
