I can understand why someone who's lost their job or that's balancing all their bills on some minimum wage salary may have to let a bill slide here and there, but why in the world would someone who has the kind of money Prince has, not pay the people who have honestly put in work for him? And why was his brother living in an apartment? Why wouldn't Prince at least buy him a modest house? And his sister too? I heard she spent years homeless, even if she were on drugs, why not buy her a modest house? He seems pretty selfish, I mean, he has hundreds of MILLIONS, how in the world is this man so stingy? It doesn't seem very Christian.........

Because he's a fucking cheeky vulture.

Because he's Prince. The rules for common folk just don't apply to him, obviously.

It's bad enough Bria was on here trying to make her album seem less than atrocious.

Why should someone who worked so hard for what he's got just give it away to people who might not deserve it just because they are brother and sister when maybe they never helped him to get to where he is or were more of a hassle to him in his life than helpful. who knows maybe he has helped them and they turned right back into their unhealthy ways, who knows.

I know I have a sibling who asks me for money all the time to pay their rent, close to homeless and um I'm not giving them anything and could care less because of things that have happened in the past. I've given money in the past and its the same trend over and over again. Sometimes people have to learn to help themselves, its called being an adult.

Regarding Prince's brother being in an apartment and not a modest house, at least he has a roof over his head and plus the expenses for a house are way more than an apartment, can he even afford a house? what is Prince suppose to pay for all the expenses too?

You're calling a man who has giving away MILLIONS to charity stingy? please.....

I would never judge a person by the way they treat their siblings.

...and to be honest, that man's private/family life is no one's business, so I don't know why the author of this thread "feels the need to know" that information.

exactly

When it comes to his siblings, should they be going to their brother for help, if he's already helped them in the past? He helped Tyka go into rehab and it was prob. out of pocket. Either one could write a tell-all book about his childhood but haven't.

I'm sure some people in the Org will tell you about dealing with addicts in the family. They're very manipulative and will pawn off heirlooms for quick cash, only to try to get more out of you and play on your emotions. I've known some mothers who gave EVERYTHING to their kid and went broke from it, and on top of that had cash & jewelry stolen.

I don't know if he's stingy or forgetful when it comes to his debts. Some celebs handle their own bills, most depend on their manager or personal assistant to handle the paperwork and field the calls. He might have it where he signs off on everything himself, or just lets someone else do the approving. But when your mind is on work, away from home for weeks and months at a time, all that stuff can be forgotten about, and then they start sending him threatening letters and court orders.

We don't know how much he has in the bank. I doubt he has hundreds of millions, but lives comfortably. Put it this way, Jerry Garcia's estate was worth 5 million dollars when he passed. And he was in one of the biggest moneymaking live bands ever. I'm sure over time, they've had more than that come in to the estate, with the ties, Deadhead merch, CD sales, cover songs, radio play, etc.

If he needs money, he can always line up private gigs, tours, and get endorsements. If it comes to court, his lawyers talk to their lawyers and either they agree or disagree. There's a lot of things that never see the courtroom. I think the most ridiculous lawsuit was the apartment he colored purple. When he got it back, he should've just rented it out to fans for a while, and then cleaned it up and put it back to how it was. Esp. when Prince was doing his LA show at Staples.

I have a brother who is bad on drugs. He has stolen from EVERYONE in my family that he can steal from. I don't even like him! But I do have compassion and I know that if I won the lottery tomorrow I would buy him a house, set him up in rehab - with a stipulation that if he completes rehab he would be given a certain sum of money (give him some incentive to stick with it) and especially with Prince being a Christian, it just seems to me that paying people who have worked for you- done their job- and to not pay them is tantamount to walking into a CVS and sticking some eyeliner in your pocket without paying for it! In my opinion....

hey, i totally get and understand what you are saying, i dont think rewarding bad behavior with money helps anything because money will always be the driving force to do anything. In most cases it will backfire. Emotional stability and a healthy lifestyle should be the reason he'd want to complete rehab not money or a house.

I cant comment about Prince paying and not paying people, I never concern myself with what other people do what their money, thats their business. I commented about the charity work to prove Prince doesnt appear to be stingy or not have a heart. However I can comment on family members wants and needs and expectations when they contribute absolutely nothing to the more successful persons well being but stress. I'd pay a very good friends bills before i'd pay my own brothers. Your brother sounds like mine good luck to him .....

I understand what you are saying- they definately have to do it for themselves and have to want it for themselves- It is so sad though when someone is struggling with drug addiction and I am glad that Prince's sister has come out of it and she seems to be doing well-

You're right, not my business and who knows what the real truth is? maybe he's done alot that hasn't been reported-

And good luck to your brother as well

Your posting behaviour is interesting, particularly for a newbie.

Either you know Prince first or second hand, in which case you'd be better off being up-front (or not posting at all), or else you don't know and therefore have no idea what was really going on behind the scenes.

Money stuff, particularly amongst family, is rarely straightforward.

Sitting in judgement of others can temporarily make us feel better, but it doesn't really achieve anything in the long run.

If you truly are new here, I'd stick to replying to threads for a little while before you make any more of your own, and perhaps tone down the passive-aggressive nature of your questions.

I did not mean to be passive agressive but I do know I will from now on just reply to threads and not post any of my own! Geesh! Didn't expect some people to be so touchy! I just felt like asking some questions today and so I did- I'm off work today and thought I would take a day to chill and play around on the internet as it's raining cats and dogs where I am, thought I might get some answers- but from now on will stick to just perusing others posts- I do have to wonder why he's always getting sued though and thought I'd ask.......

Sorry to whomever I've offended!

By the by, all the things I've posted today were all things I've read about on here anyway so didn't think it would be a big deal :0

Because he wanteed you to have the opportunity to ask another question that no one on these boards could possibly answer.

You ask a lot of questions Penelope. Was Mani a stalker, is JW religion a cult, does Prince have mental health issues and why won't he pay his bills.

Why don't ordinary people pay their bills? They don't have the money, they forget.

We assume Prince has the money, but as it's a rather substantial amount I don't think it's as easy as 1.2.3 bingo there you go, considering there was a lawsuit involved.

Maybe his brother was happy living in an appartment, maybe Prince did help finance it. Why buy an addict a house when she can't even buy food before drugs? She'd sell the house, she didn't want a house. Besides, buying people out of trouble doesn't help the person being bought. Self worth is derived from what you achieve on your own.

We don't know how many millions Prince has and remember assets are different to cashflow.

The more money someone has, the more everyone around them wants some. If you give away to all, you won't have any left. So where do you draw the line? The more you earn, the higher your expenditure, Prince has also invested a lot and probably still needs to service his loans.

I definitely wouldn't judge someone as selfish or stingy when I've never met them, know nothing about their internal lives or finances other than media sensation and whether they're being Christian like or not......? Well I wish people would look at themselves first before pointing fingers. Prince has given money away to charity recently and before, so I'm sure he does his Christian duty.

And by the way, no, I don't think the JW religion is a cult. It's a religion with its own beliefs and practices just like any other.
