It has been days since the tragic passing of the purple music icon, Prince. He was a true legend and everyone inside and outside the industry admired him for his work and zeal. His inspiration has reached many artists and has also gained him quite an impressive career.
In the end, Heavy reported that he was able to bring up a total net worth value of $300 million. Celebrity Net Worth has it that his luxurious sense of living enabled him to settle several homes in his lifetime, including a villa that's stationed right beside the Mediterranean Sea.
But in Los Angeles, his work-city, he only owned one piece of living real estate. Los Angeles Times mentioned a hot property that was eventually sold for $2.2 million and resold for $5.5 million. That was his first home, and since his passing, his last home was at Paisley Park in Minnesota.
According to DrFunkenBerry, his career racked up sales of over 100 million albums worldwide and has earned his keep from 7 Grammys, a Golden Globe and an Oscar. He usually performs on his own time and history has it that he also loved to pop up at other artists' concerts in his early years. However, if you wanted him to show up at your party, you need to pay the standard $2 million talent fee but if the mood strikes him, he'll do it for free.
And though he was valued at $300 million, most of his money went to charity. People have always seen him afford a luxurious lifestyle but Born Rich indicated that he donated millions to New York Charities like Harlem Children's Zone, American Ballet Theatre and Uptown Dance Academy.
While many will miss him, he clearly wanted to give back to a community that helped him raise him up through his music.
