Press Releases are often hype. Who knows what the actual payout was to Prince? Hard to imagine it was anywhere near $100,000,000. As for back catalog, every other act is hurting, so it stands to reason Prince isn't seeing as much as he used to either.

-- The information was from Pollstar not a press release. If he only had half of that 100 million he would still be able to double it with good investments over the last ten years. Did you know he owns 24 properties in Channahassen? He could also license the songs out to T.V and movies. He can get a revenue stream from his songs anytime he wants to.

AND he has! He's just VERY selective of who it is...

EVERY entertainer would LOVE to have a bodyguard that is a VERY close friend of theirs that they can trust. Kirk has been working 4 4 DECADES in several capacities.

Why not just make him his bodyguard? Kirk has his own workout center. [Snip - luv4u]

Uh-huh.... Dude is 60. Not exactly the time in life to start a career as a bodyguard.

Kirk Just like does'nt age & are both in VERY great physical shape then any almost 60 years old.

Of course they age, just like everyone else. You may have things that change the way you appear and try to make yourself look younger, but the aging process is something no one can ever change.

One of the many things that makes me feel as though Prince got money probs.

--/ How would he have money problems? He made 100 million dollars a little over ten years ago. He could live off the dividends of invests from that money for the rest of his life and he has a back catalogue he can utilized at any time.

Exactly right - there are few things dumber than thinking Prince is hurting for money

Someone recently interviewed Eddie Murphy and complimented him on his looks..He told Eddie he hasn't aged and he still looked the same. Eddie said that he has no stress in his life and is comfortable..Stress and pressure (from jobs, financial issues, family, illness, worry) can cause a lot of damage to the skin too. Eddie and P take good care of themselves, but they're also wealthy celebs. Celebs don't have to deal with the "9-5 syndrome" that a lot of regular folks deal with....and I also agree with the OP about what you are is what you eat.

Eddie does look decades younger also! I noticed when I attended his tribute a few years ago. His close friend Arsenio also hasn't aged much. He's well into his 60's & did a great job hosting the BET Honors recently..

I'm guessing the "rarity" is that they actually got it on video and weren't immediately served with a C&D.

I just wonder if everyone who claims P is wearing a wig ain't going through some hair loss themselves.

90 percent of why u age is the garbage u put in your mouth The oldest person in the bible (900yearsold) was vegetaian There is a man 140 who only eats rice and herbs ... All his original teeth If a turtle can live to be 240 so can a human

A human can live as long as God allows him to. They have no control over that, as it is also known, you are appointed a time to live and a time to die. It also says in the bible that God didn't think it was good for man to live as long as they did in the bible, so he reduced that time. Also, if it's all about what you eat, then how do some people that eat properly, don't smoke or drink, and exercise regularly, also drop dead sometimes?

Reasonable points. Pollstar though can only report what they are told. Even then it is gross, not net. I doubt Prince ever saw $100,00,000 to his pocket for any tour. I doubt any musician ever has, as they are the furthest in line away from the money, but for all I know Prince may have a billion dollars somewhere, and he's just become frugal in recent years.
