I heard he did build community centers and playgrounds years ago (I’m not joking here, this is not satire), and never would take credit.
He always did it through intermediaries to avoid having his name related to it.
I heard this because I am a contractor who fits pipe, and I know someone who did a couple of these projects (re-builds on women’s shelters near/in the Twin Cities) who told me Prince was the backer through another developer.
I always assumed it was true, I had no reason to doubt the guy, and I really never knew who Prince was other than hearing the name on the TV at various times.
I have heard of several celebrities who have done things similar, and they have always impressed me when they go through lengths to make sure they never get credit. That to me is impressive and noteworthy.
His personal life? I have no idea. But anonymous philanthropy says measures about a person.
“But anonymous philanthropy says measures about a person.”
Yeah and or seems he gave away millions.
That is selfless, wanting to help others while not needing to take the credit and build up your ego.
