How did Prince boost his Net Worth another 50 million?!

Prince hasn't released a Album in years. He has did Concerts off and on for the last 2-3 years; they must have been really successful combined with his royalties for him to increase his net worth this much. Celebrity Net Worth is saying he's worth $300 million last year or the year before it was $250 million thats a big jump!!!! Gone Pappa Prince. lol I wonder are some good investment returns included in this? eek biggrin

It's been theorized that Prince may make between 500,000 and 1 million bucks for every show he plays in large venues, at least in the US where travel expenses are reduced. Do the math.

He's performing for extremely rich people like Georce Lucas or on an caribbean island on new year's eve. And surely not for free. wink

This.

Plus the amount he earns in royalties every year doesn't hurt smile And not just from his own performed songs - he'll get royalties on covers, like Sinead's "NC2U", and songs he wrote for others, like "Manic Monday", etc.

I wonder if he wakes up in the morning and says, "I am just a Prince, but I got more money than the Queen of England!"

The stock market's been doing well. shrug

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

I hear the Devil gives him a million for every fan he pisses off to the point of posting ridiculous threads on the Org everyday lambasting him for not doing what they want him to do...

Change it one more time..

It was Manuela's company, through which she sold her expensive candles and stuff for charity. I guess she couldn't sing at all, so he couldn't pour his money into a protege album for her, so instead he let her start "her own" company.
