Just my , and not only is that worth every penny but it is also roughly equivalent to MY bankroll.
This is just my feeling, as a long time Prince fan, I think that he is more concerned with controlling the distribution than the money (if you read the whole article it mentions that he is worth an estimated 100mil but continues to donate sizable portions of that to various charities). After being so tied up in a record contract where he felt he had no real control of how his music was distributed I can understand his wanting to control that aspect of it.
