Prince, the legendary singer, songwriter, producer and man of myriad other talents, died Thursday at 57 in his suburban Minneapolis home. The eclectic pop icon kept a bevy of high-profile lawyers busy during the past three decades.
A seven-time Grammy winner, at the time of his death Prince had a net worth of some $300 million, the proceeds from a career that saw him sell more than 100 million records. Prince developed a somewhat complicated relationship with the Internet, and fought to protect his brand and music against unauthorized use. And for that he needed lawyers, lots of them.
