I know you’re providing a link to a website, but is it really a fan’s business to try to scope out how much their favorite star is worth and the extent of their financial interests and holdings? Talk about obsessive and bad boundaries.

I think it's fine. Of course, we know how Berry got his 300 million. I guess screwing Flo out of her royalties that would have kept her off welfare really paid off. His kindness and generosity makes my heart swell.

I read something today that diana had $150,000 in her account when she was getting ready to leave Motown, does anyone know how much she actually got from Motown for her 20 years of hits and work with the company including 3 movies and 18 # records.

I think Mary Wells got 30,000, Mary Wilson had $100,000, and Flo got 160,000, Diana should have gotten all of these figures put together at the minimum, if not more.

Yep, that's why she left.... she saw what was happening before it was too late.

Yes, you are absolutely right, and if I remember correctly her statement to Mr. Gordy was something like " This is not personal Black this is about business". She was savvy enough to get out while she was a hot item on the market and in demand. In the long run Diana was a victim as well. Berry was still holding on to the fact that he held on to his artists when they didn't have a hit but Diana, Mary Wilson, Mary Wells, Flo and others felt well we repaid that debt so you don't own me. Hope I didn't go off topic to bad.

Yeah whatever!!!! but that didn't stop you being curious enough that you couldn't help clicking on the thread though, did it?????

**midnightman** · 01-24-2013, 07:39 PM

She earned that money through real estate and successful concert tours. Don't forget she made some good investments with ANAID Productions and made a lot of money from the two TV films she starred in and was listed as a producer. And it seems she didn't get too lavish with the money like she had when Berry was ripping all of them off.

**StuBass1** · 01-24-2013, 07:53 PM

Forget Motown chump change. Ms Ross was married to and divorced one of the richest men in Europe...a Norweigan Billionaire. Between DR and Elin Woods...those two could probably BUY Skandinavia with just their divorce settlements.

**imnokid** · 01-24-2013, 08:02 PM

Stu, thanx. I didn't want to be the one who said where the money came from.

And lucky for her, Motown couldn't own the name on her birth certificate. If he could, he would have... you can your sweet ass on it.

**StuBass1** · 01-24-2013, 08:16 PM

Not that Diana Ross lacks earning power. She sold lots of records, appeared in successful films, packed them into concert halls, yet I have no doubt that despite her own impressive achievements, it's her deceased ex Arne who moved her into the "mega" rich catagory.

I clicked on the thread due to my perverse fascination with obsessed glassy eyed fans—I clicked on the thread, but not the link you provided. May I ask when was the last time you blinked? And have you ever harbored a desire to pay a trip to one of Diana Ross’ homes so you can sift through her garbage? Or am I wrong about you and you do have limits to how far you’ll go?

That is not true. One of the complaints Arne Naess made public before he filed for divorce was Diane's excessive spending to the tune of $25,000 per month on clothing and upwards of $ 50,000 per month on private jets to name a few of her excesses. He got pissed and wanted her to reign it in.

Stu, unfortunately [[ for Diane) that was not true either. Arne Naess was no billionaire. In fact as it turned out, he was not even as wealthy as Ross. He was wealthy by Norwegian standards, but run of the mill rich guy by U.S. standards.

First of all neither he or the link to the site that posted this information has anything to substantiate her or anyone else's net worth! Even if it was semi-accurate, how old is the information and where did it come from? hmmmmm.......... ok then! LOL!!!!

Well, I'm sure your knowledge is no more definitive than Stu's or Smarks. The real issue you'll have is some kind of comparison with Mary Wilson's money or lack thereof.

When you talked to Diane "face to face", did you and Luke tagteam and yell from the bleeders "We love you Diana"?

I don't know what you mean by "definitive"? I just know what I know! What I know, would make YOU cry because you are clearly obsessed with this woman. Mary Wilson? Why are you bringing her up into this?

One of times I've talked to Diane face to face? I take it you mean when I let her know what I thought about her actions at M25? There were witnesses and NOooooooo it was far from a wussy "we love you Diana" conversation. Like I said, it would've made YOU cry. Not her, because she is a tough old alley cat , just not that tough! LOL!

**luke** · 01-25-2013, 06:01 PM

lol; Why shouldnt someone post his? Fortune 500 and other sources do it all the time. Richest tv stars etc. I dont get judging others who love Motown and related info--if people spent more time looking at themselves they could be happier;; Then why read it? I just dont get it. Anyway as Ross and Arne both wealthy Id think they both might leave with their own assests. Any divorce lawyer here?

**midnightman** · 01-26-2013, 05:21 PM

Diana didn't inherit Arne's riches and from what I read, didn't want to... she surely didn't after he died.

**marv2** · 01-26-2013, 05:46 PM

That is correct. He had another family after he divorced Ross and one before he met Ross.

**captainjames** · 01-28-2013, 09:40 AM

If I remember correctly what was reported was that Diana received 25-30 million in the divorce settlement and the boys were awarded something like $40-$50 thousand a month until they reached a certain age probably 21 years of age. Of course after his death I would guess that all his children were included in his will.

That's not true either. Diane did not get that in any divorce settlement and The younger boy was given his entire amount of $120,000 when he turned 18.

**captainjames** · 01-29-2013, 09:59 AM

So if anyone has any facts as to how Diana may have lost all her millions please direct me to the documents.

Marv?

Oh right, you asked for facts.

**StuBass1** · 01-29-2013, 12:57 PM

Their one son [[Evan I believe)has a net worth of 30 million dollars supposedly. He certainly didn't earn that via his acting career. I don't believe for a minute that Diana Ross left that relationship empty handed either.

**jillfoster** · 01-29-2013, 01:30 PM

Marv said nothing about Diana losing her millions like Captainjames has suggested. He said that Diana never got 25-30 million in the divorce settlement in the FIRST PLACE. That wouldn't surprise me, a savvy businessman like Arne would most likely have had an ironclad prenuptual agreement. 120,000$ is pretty stingy for your CHILD, however, especially when your'e as rich as Arne. 120,000$ is a fortune to ME, however... and I'd be thrilled to get that much. But Stubass... he's been a busy little actor... two dozen acting jobs in the last 5 years, many of them TV movies, and he made pretty good bank in the movie "Pride". He was very good in that, too... that was the movie about the swimmers where he played a boy that was a studderer or whatever, he was very good.

Marv "claims" to know that Diane Ross lost her fortune because of investing money with bernie Madoff which is a total fabrication and a dirty shame that he's spreading false story like this. There is not a shred of evidence that Diane Ross lost any money with Madoff and coming from the person who obessess about Diane every blessed day and ruins every decent thread he post in I am not real surprised.

On a personal note I think it is real vulgar and crass to discuss money on a public forum. This is my last word on this because it is none of my business how much money Miss diane Ross has.

Roberta

**jobeterob** · 01-29-2013, 02:23 PM

Good lady, Roberta. You brought out the hobnail boots and applied them well.

And you didn't use any bad words like some dude on here did.

What I liked here was your facts: "there is not a shred of evidence.............".

Well done.

Roberta, talking about money on public forums is how people learn from others' mistakes, Bernie Madoff was able to do what he did because of IGNORANCE, and discussing is never crass. It's a new day, Roberta...... even Oprah and Alicia Silverstone discussed their turds on national TV.

**jobeterob** · 01-29-2013, 03:08 PM

One of Oprah's turds was Lance Armstrong.

You are a sinner and YOU are the liar and you know you a liar. You tarnish everything you touch with your vindictive hate and wicked lies. You will answer to God one day marv2 and I hope he can forgive you.

**Roberta75** · 01-29-2013, 06:29 PM

Ralph I apologize for my behavior but I cant tolerate being called a liar by one who wrecks every thread he posts in with his vindictive and vicious statements and fabrications and distortions and just real mean hatefulness.

I am real real sorry for my outburst but when a friend wrote me an e-mail and told me the said person had called me a liar and mock my faith well I flipped my wig so to speak.

It will not happen again Ralph as I have the said person on ignore.

Respectfully yours.

**nomis** · 01-29-2013, 10:32 PM

Diana left Motown with roughly $18.000 in her personal account..she thought Berry was lying to her about the royalty payment for "Its My Turn" single but apparently he wasnt..when she signed with RCA/EMI he sent someone to collect the yellow rolls royce he had given her as a present some years before..she invested her RCA signing fee in various New York real estate including a car park and made a killing..as for Arne it has been suggested that when they married she was far richer than him..the media built up his mega millionare profile and suited both her and his personal vanity to play along with the tag..while he certainly had money he balked at the cost of the wedding and she ended up paying for her family and friends to attend..details of any divorce settlement are sketchy due to her breakdown at the time..he didnt even tell her he was divorcing her..he went on tv announced his new girlfriend was pregnant and that was the first she heard of it...

**skooldem1** · 01-29-2013, 10:35 PM

According to comments I have read, its because he had committed adultery and had a child out of wedlock, any prenuptial agreement they may have had was most likely contested.

**nomis** · 01-29-2013, 10:57 PM

By the time Diana met Arne in 1985 she had wised up..she had been in love with a man for virtually her whole life who made her the most successful female singer of all time and virtually bankrupt after 20 yrs of hard work.. fast forward to '85 and Steve Wynn was paying her a small fortune for every night she sang at his casinos..it wasnt the Arnes wealth that attracted her to him it was how at ease both families kids were together on holiday and how good he was to her daughters..when they first dated she really knew nothing about him..going to a resturant with Diana Ross isnt like a normal date..shes one of the most famous women on the planet all attention in a room naturally goes to her direction..when they finally started to talk it was his passion for the outdoors and mountains that captured her heart..she had hated growing up in the brewster projects a concrete jungle,He told her he would take her to the most beautiful places in the world..far from the emotional baggage that hollywood represented with Gordy and New york that she had intially loved but grew weary of after the Dreamgirls play and the Central Park childrens playground saga..He knew nothing of showbuisness and she found that refreshing and attractive..

**jobeterob** · 01-29-2013, 11:09 PM

Excellent, rational posts Nomis. You are always good to read.

Roberta, your wig landed right back in place, just like Diane's and Mary's always were. Don't fret, what goes around comes around and already has, and we ain't talkin about you!

Thank you dear. its just that i dont like to lose my cool but when my faith was mocked and i was called a liar I got real mad. I shouldnt but I did and I have ask my Lord and savior Jesus Christ to forgive me and to give me the strength and wisdom to keep calm and cool and collected.

Yours, with every good wish.

She also had to get out of that house! I think he let her keep stuff like the fur coats.

supremester · 02-01-2013, 09:53 AM

Berry didn't screw Flo out of anything. She chose a shady lawyer, later disbarred, who realized a sucker when her saw one and got Flo to sign it all away for a lumpp sum, then he stole it. Get your facts together, girl. Flo was adised by Motown that she was being screwed. I hate to blame Motown for S.O.P. by the industry, but because many of us care for our artist's, we want them to be OK financially. I think, had DMF had outside counsel, their contracts would have read differently. I'm guessing that Miss Ross because aware that her income from working non-stop at top dollar and not being able to account for it portfolio wise, led her to sign the 20 mil deal with RCA. She ALSO signed a deal with EMI at the same time. These were signing bonuses - not like today - a guarantee against royalties - Miss Ross cashed her 20 mil plus check and a few months later, royalties for Why Do Fools, Mirror Mirror etc. It was platinum here in it;s first few months of release, and did even better iternationally. She made, I surmise, a lot more money in the 80's than in the 60's & 70's combined.

Apparently Diana Ross is broke. I have sent a letter asking her to work for me. She can pick up one of my AVON routes. Diana will make okay money and she knows how to put on make up. This will save the day for her. I am excited.
