Prince Bought the Purple Rain House

Prince Bought the Purple Rain House

In 2015, a nondescript Minneapolis house went on sale—a house that happened to be the home of the Kid, Prince‘s character in Purple Rain. It turns out that Prince himself bought the house, as The Current reports. It was purchased by NPG Music Publishing, one of Prince’s companies. The Current also reports that Prince owned several other homes in Minnesota and around the world, which they’ve detailed here. Those properties include his childhood home, homes for several family members, commercial properties, and more.
