Prince: The Black Millionaire Blueprint for Success

In 2004, after several years of relative obscurity, Prince returned to the limelight to perform at the Grammy Awards with Beyonce Knowles. That spring, he released Musicology with a tour that became the top concert draw in the U.S. The album won two Grammys. His next album, 3121, was released in 2006. That year, he wrote and performed “Song of the Heart” for the animated film Happy Feet, which won a Golden Globe for Best Original Song.

Prince’s estimated worth is approximately $250 million, according to the richest.org and celebrityworth.com.
