02.15.2012 Whitney might have been broke

Now that they’ve apologized for “accidentally” raising the prices on her records immediately after she died, Sony executives will meet this week to figure out what Whitney Houstons music catalog is really worth.

Prepare to be disappointed, Bobby Brown. CBS News says…

Houston’s estate is expected to take in about $10 million this year, but that’s far less than others will make because Houston did not write or own her songs. The bulk of royalties go to the songwriter and the publisher.
The late Michael Jackson co-wrote and owned most of his music. Just last year, his estate took in $170 million.

And try and guess if there’s any money saved up from when she was actually recording.

…just before her death, tabloids declared Houston was flat-broke and asking friends for handouts … her New Jersey estate was nearly foreclosed on in 2006 when she failed to pay her property taxes and she admitted to spending lavishly on drugs and partying in the past decade.

Hmm. Um, well, say what you will but she clearly wasn’t throwing good money away on frivolous things like conditioner. And, um, life preservers.

    how the fuck? If I miss one measly mortgage payment of $700 my house is reposessed the next day. This cunt doesn’t pay hundreds of thousands of dollars and still lives in a mansion for 5 more years?

    I’m not dead, I guess +1 to me.

    You try to take something away from a crazy, drug abusing black woman. If you survive, come back and tell us how it went.

    When I think about this Whitney Houston story and all of the trials and tribulations that she endured throughout her life, I cannot help but think about what Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. would say if he were alive today: “Help! Somebody help me! I’ve been buried alive in this fucking box!”
