#2 | $120 MillionPRINCEApril 21, 2016 (57)†OverdoseThe High Priest of Pop used to sing in his song “Cream”: “Why should you wait only longer? / Take a chance / It’ll only make you stronger.” Three of his heirs took his advice and cashed in, selling each of their stakes for an estimated combined total of $108 million—sending The Purple One eight spots up the ranking from No. 10 in 2020.

I don't have the word for what I'm feeling about this but it don't feel like winning. Time keeps on slipping into the future...
This moment is all there is... | |

" Prince takes the No. 2 spot this year with $120 million, thanks to a deal his siblings made to sell an estimated 43% of the estate, which includes his catalog with hits like “When Doves Cry” and “Little Red Corvette,” to music publishing and management company Primary Wave. "
What will Primary Wave gain by owning his Catalog? | |

todesm said: Amazing ! So the heirs that sold all their shares if my math is correct received over 35 million? Wow! Can’t blame them honestly.Especially not knowing when estate will be settled. Also they all wracked up all those legal fees with no real planning in mind. | |
