Purple Rain: Prince ponies up $368,000 to save Minnesota property from foreclosure

How tall is Prince? Dude is a diminutive 5’2.”

But height doesn’t matter when you’ve got deep ass pockets that can cut checks for $368,000 without batting a fake eyelash.

That’s exactly what the little man did last weekend, saving a 20-acre, $1.15 million piece of property he owns in Chanhaseen, Minn., from heading to a foreclosure auction.

Sure, “Mr. Nelson” defaulted on a loan from Bank of New York Mellon Trust Co., which scheduled a now-canceled Sheriff sale for May 13, 2011.

He probably just didn’t feel like paying it at the time.

Same goes for the $1.3 million he just coughed up for current and delinquent property taxes that were owed from 2009 and 2010, as well as the tax bills from 2006 and 2008 that he still apparently owes Uncle Sam.

Prince just makes it rain when he wants it to rain, Shorty. It’s that simple

I know, I know, I know … times are changing.
