Do some people actually believe that someone with millions of dollars really needs to "pay his bills"?lol. Please millionaires have trust funds and investments. He could live the rest of his life and never have to work again.

He has never seemed like a greedy money-grubber like say Madonna or The Rolling Stones who jack their ticket prices and turn out one crap albulm after the next. No doubt he is making bank but I don't have the impression that is his primary goal. Prince has always seemed more about the music. I think he plays what he wants and for whatever reason. He truly seems concerned about the fans and them enjoying the show. In many ways he has always seemed like a throw back to the old great blues and jazz performers from the early part of the century where it was an interactive experience with the audience and not a one-way ego trip with the "rock star" on stage and everybody sitting in their seats just watching.

So, you don't think charging someone $77 to access a website in 2009 wasn't a money-making move?

You don't think charging $1 million per show is a money making thing?

You don't think blocking youtube videos and threatening to sue is not a money making move?

What about charging $50 for a cd and not refunding people their money and giving them a t-shirt instead is a good business practice?

I'm not trying to hate on Prince or anything, but he is about getting paid like every other person. Millionaires tend to work harder than the average person to increase their funds...moreso than non-millionaires. It's just a fact.
