Have been lurkin for a while. First post and its an interesting one. Let's see if i can get this right. My girlfriend's sisters husband's family owns a lot of real estate including in Turks&Caicos. I was talking to my girlfriends sisters husband and he told me that prince recently bought a very nice home there 2 miles from one of their properties. Yes yes i know many of you will jump on me and tell me to prove it...Well guess what, I can't but i'll found out as much as i can in the next few days. Just trust that its the truth It has its own private beach and all.

EDIT: Some more info: its a $ 12,000,000.00 home located in Turtle Tail. and additionally it's supposed to have a recording studio as well.

BA.

He previously had spent time there in 2010, because it was there that he spotted Quinton Dean:

http://en.wordpress.com/t...inton-dean

Quinton Dean states that he was performing at "the Amanyara", which suggests that Prince was possibly staying or visiting here:

The New Year's Eve party held by Padma Lakshmi was also reported as being held at the Amanyara resort.

Congrats Prince

HURRICANES!

I hope they have low property taxes there.

hahaahaha

Did anyone else peep the size of that place and also some of the rooms??! The pics are in the paper on the site given above. He'd be able to buy 30 of these if he ever had any real business sense, like releasing remastered albums, outtakes with no edits, and live recordings/videos. I wonder if he's just going to rent that place out to make some money off of it or if he's just going to treat it as a "summer vacay" home and spend a little time there. I always did wonder what happened to Quinton Dean. Was he cut after one show because he sucked, couldn't get papers right, or did they have a falling out?

Electricberet, good one!! To the OP, props for the heads up.

Gotta love Finding Nemo on the screen in the theater room.

Fantastic! He finally has a home in the Carribbean! I'm surprised he didn't grab one up sooner!

Let see now, in addition he has a home in Hawaii, Los Angeles, Toronto(which apparently he lost to his

X-wife Manni), Minneapolis (which he always calls his real home), and not talked about much,

but I've heard he has a couple of residences in Europe somewhere.

What am I missing?

Oh yeah, it looks like one of the many bedrooms in the home is open to the ocean...anyone

else see that? Or did I just imagine it? It was difficult trying to get around in that link.

He's got a total of 14 properties in MN, if I remember correctly, based on a report that came out when they were reporting on his tax delinquencies. They're a mix of business and residential, I'm assuming, so I'm sure he's got a couple of homes there too, at least.

I'm laughing because that developer has the exact name as my niece's father, first and last name, but absolutely no relation of course. Anyway, I think that's cool Prince bought a house in the Caribbean if that is true. Looking at the size of it, it he can have parties like he did in LA. He gets to relax on a beautiful island in peace, with no one to bother him, and to bask in Caribbean sun. He can experience the Caribbean culture, the people, their dialect, pina coladas, coconuts and palm trees, the food, the music...iguanas.....awesome. Not to mention the beautiful turquoise ocean and white, sandy beaches. He'll be saying.."Eh mon, no prabhlum!... in no time.

Geez ufo, it's not like they have major hurricanes every year where the islands are severely ripped apart. My parents/grandparents and half of my siblings were born and grew up in different parts of the Caribbean and as far as I know, my siblings only lived through 2 really bad hurricanes in their lifetimes. My mom never told me of any she had to experience where it destroyed where she lived. When she lived in Florida, she experienced more there than her island of birth. You can't live your life in fear over weather conditions and natural disasters. People in California deal with earthquake tremors often but go about their daily lives. Plus, who in their right mind couldresist basking under the Caribbean sun, taking in its breeze, the turquoise waters of the ocean, with the white, sandy beaches. That's the purpose of going to the Caribbean....no worry...no prahblum...life goes on, enjoy it.

Well, this should be well away from the prying eyes of the Elders (and women).

Hmmm, wonder who he's intending to ensconce there? Is Brenda packiing her bags yet?

I'm just kind of joking about being wary of any permanent investment (of course the same could be said of anywhere that has storms or earthquakes). Didn't Brando's island get messed up bad by a storm?

I hear you, and I have no idea what happened with Brando's property, but these days, earthquakes, hurricanes, tsuamis, tornados, can happen anywhere.

He just needs to buy some insurance (and make the payments on time).

I wonder if this purchase means that he has dealt with the various unpaid bills that have been mentioned in other threads. Or maybe he is trying to put his assets where creditors can't seize them.

Lawd have mercy.. no disrespect towards you, but here we go. I think some fans' imagination just runs too wild whenever an article on Prince appears, and just can't take a story for what it is sometimes

The article is about him purchasing a house in the Caribbean. That's it, why can't it just be about that and let it be?

[Edited 5/15/11 10:59am]

This is great for him. I wonder if this house is a tax shelter?

Could save his business millions of dollars in taxes.

It's a story about a person who is currently being sued for failing to pay a multi-million judgment buying a multi-million dollar home in a country that is known as a tax haven. If he's paid off all his creditors, good for him. Otherwise, this sounds fishy to me.

Wow some of you are slow. P owns 22 properties back in Minneapolis and who knows how many other properties that are in names of corporations.

Of course the property is in a tax haven and I bet he is going to be spending a lot of time in that house. The dude is on the road working, giving money away and buying new properties he is not hurting for money he is just not going to pay those Irish guys their money.

Actually, no it's not. Where did the article in post #5 mention anything about P owing money? That's not what the article is about. Furthermore is Prince's personal finances any of your business or mine? I should think not. Let's just keep the thread on track shall we, and not bring up old issues from an old thread into this thread, as that does none of us any good.

Laura, I'm not concerned about how many properties he owns nor do I care about his personal finances. I was just commenting on how I thought it is nice, if in fact true, that he chose to purchase property in the beautiful Caribbean.

If Prince's personal finances are none of our business, then neither is where he chooses to live.
