I'm sure that Prince could not care less what others are worth. He's doing what he was born to do, and loves what he's doing, that's what counts. Money is not the end all and be all for some you know. You can have all the money/riches you want, but when you die, it's all left behind and doesn't matter, because you can't take any of it with you.

He might own stuff but it is an estimate and not all as liquid as a bank ccount or equivalent.

Furthermore he has solvency issues as he did not pay bills in time. (oh, he decided not to pay while he had the money all along? or his money was mismanaged?!)

// Are you really this stupid?

Are you really suggesting that I can read your mind?

You omitted all argumentation!!!!1!!!

I do hope you understand that discussing this way has no use.

It was more than that included! Xclusive first prime choice seats to 's MEGA 3 shows in one night extravaganza @ the beautiful Nokia theater in beautiful Downtown LA. Also passes to the Tonight Show & Ellen. didn't have to do that 4 his ungrateful fans.

Now please stay on topic! This thread is about 's MEGA net worth...

All those things you mentioned were no good unless you live in the US. What about the rest of the world. What about the unreleased vault tracks or the Coachella DVD that were mentioned in the guff leading up to the launch?

LotusFlow3r/MplSound was a U.S only release @ that time. The rest U said didn't come out of 's mouth. It was only speculated by the web creators.

Because 's fairweather U.S fans wouldn't all join his site that was created 4 THEM. It would have been a waste of time & money to unleash his vault "MasterPieces" on that website. Which would have only been bootlegged around the world anyway..

Didn't U later get "Planet Earth" & "20T3N" 4 free? Which we NEVER got here in the U.S besides "Planet Earth" but later.

"Planet Earth" was released in the USA.

Regardless of the free albums $77 for that site was a rip off, no excuse. He could have done do much but did very little. I'm not begrudging P of his wealth. Hell, he still got paid up front for every copy of those free albums regardless if how many they sold

So true. The LotusFlow3r site was a disgrace compared to his previous sites. It was slow and had content that we either had already seen/received or poor quality stuff. There were very few "new" songs and don't even mention the t-shirts. Several folks didn't even get those.

And "LotusFlow3r/MplSound was eventually released in France.....

All that money, and he can't pay his bills on time?

He pays his taxes. That's all that matters...

Wot?! his taxes on time, are you serious? http://prince.org/msg/7/3...?&pg=1 and http://prince.org/msg/7/343983

$300m. LOL.

These stupid celebrity charts are not worth the paper they are written on. Usually half of the value is based on their catalogue, which would never achieve the value stated.

Sure P has investments etc, but I'd be surprised if he was sitting on more that $15 cash flow and $30m of assets.

His actions tell a story. He is worried out rights and income, and grumbles about people not paying him up front for his work. Those aren't the actions of a man swimming in cash or deposits.

The $300m is probably as realistic as the $100m contract in 92.

The point Eye was making "beautiful one" Is that he paid his taxes! Also that it was the most important debt he owed sweetie pie....

I can't understand how worth is calculated without any type of assessment of what their debt is. I doubt that these bloggers or journalists who come up with these lists take debt into account. I think they just go into what their concert ticket sales and album sales were.

When I heard that Sting was worth $300 million, I didn't believe it because I think he's probably worth WAY more than that but maybe he's just smart enough to have a diverse portfolio and no debt. It's hard to tell.

actually that's pretty damn good considering Jay-Z gets played on the radio in heavy rotation, and we're lucky to hear a Prince song on the radio maybe twice every 4 months....and it's usually "Kiss".

Jay Z and Diddy hide behind their aging, gangster, playboy personas. They use ghostwriters and always "rap" about alcohol, women, drugs, money, cars, etc. They'll never be in Prince's category.

Besides, when it comes to producing, neither Jay nor Diddy come close to Pharrell either.

While he whines about how bootlegs are costing him money? Bullshit.

Oprah just tweeted: That aint shit, bitches!

“I told them there won’t be much money left because we are spending it! We have a lot of commitments. What comes in we spend, and there isn’t much left,” the 62-year-old rocker told The Daily Mail in an interview".
