Was Prince broke?

This may be 2 nosey, but was Prince broke cash wise? I can't understand the fluctuating estimates on his financial worth. I honestly always thought Prince was filthy rich, one reason is because since 4ever he could sell out a show in seconds over and over again. His clothes seem like the most self indulgent thing 2 me, that he spent gobs of money on. Celebrities with half the talent are making billions.

He had diamonds on his fingers, a couple on his toes.

You're right. Move on, and mind your own bills.

Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking.

I do not think that he was broke, but he had high bills.

"I'm a very in-the-moment person," he continues. "I do what feels good in the moment. ... I'm not on a schedule, and I don't have any sort of contractual ties. I don't know in history if there's been any musicians that have been self-sufficient like that, not beholden. I have giant bills, large payrolls, so I do have to do tours. ... But there's no need to record anymore."

If Prince was broke you would have heard about it just like how they repprted he didn't have a will and he was not even dead for a week yet. He was touring so he wouldn't be broke.

he certainly had well documented financial issues back in day...

and even during the Lovesexy tour he was having financial issues..

3rd eye girl and the solo piano tour could've possibly been him 'downsizing'

to bring in some quick cashflow..?

I wouldn't consider a man with that many assets BROKE though..

--/ He had 50 million in Real Estate so as long as you have assests you are not broke. Most people in his income bracket are not liquid just because of taxes.
