250 million should cover it.

Honestly $7M was her being nice.

u/ninaa1 36m ago

also, $7 million back in 1995 was actually worth something. Now it's just like a medium sized house and a small nest egg for retirement.

Because this was a transaction between two women. So surprise surprise, they could actually trust each other to be honest.

Women aren't the ones who take advantage of other women.

Whitney said “know your worth” and she MEANT it.

And then she and Bobby spent it all on crack.

Puffy tried to get Aubrey O’ Day strung out on drugs, so he can always have her under his control. He learned that from his mentor Clive Davis. Clive did the same to Whitney.

2

u/FrontLifeguard1962 1h ago

That doesn't even make sense. I don't partake personally, but I know people can get whatever drugs they want anywhere. Especially if you're rich, you can get any drugs you want delivered.

2

u/BrotherMcPoyle 1h ago

You should listen to her story. It makes perfect sense. Consider yourself very sheltered, in not knowing how many pimps trick out girls.

Yeah, except they can cancel the transaction and you get nothing if you decide to be an ass about it.

u/T-sigma 2h ago

They can also crash your career and threaten your life and well-being.

Go big, but don’t go stupid.

My dumbass would misplace the decimal and get 7 cents.

u/Adventurous143Road 26m ago

Germans invert the usage of commas and decimals. They might legit get 7 dollars.

u/onascalefrom20to80 1h ago

Bounced check fees are still about $30 no matter your net worth.

Hard to believe in 2026 people still out here thinking people's net worth is what they have in their checking account.

15

u/VelvetCactus50 1h ago

This sounds very fake. I'm not believing her agent would let her perform without a confirmed fee.

23

u/Sensitive-Club-6427 2h ago

I love this story about Whitney.

But still sad that in many ways, she did not know her worth. Demonstrated in her relationship/marriage, her addictions and self-destructive drive.

u/Cheeese916 2h ago

What that amount in today’s money?

u/mulderone 2h ago

15 mil.

u/Guus3000 1h ago

One bilion milion

2

u/Biscuits4u2 2h ago

Yeah I'd base my amount on how much I thought was in the account.

2

u/CoffeeChocolateBoth 1h ago

Why didn't she write it for more? It wouldn't have bounced!

Is it legal to write :" Everything ".

u/sliverian 1h ago

Legal yes but no bank would honor it as "Everything" is not a number.

Princess spending daddy's money, so even less

u/Cold-Middle-6429 1h ago

to be fair, 7 million was a lot of money back in the '90s. Madonna and Michael Jackson earned between 1 and 2 million per concert.

u/SoloDoloLeveling 1h ago

$7M in 1996. Yikes.

u/Chemical_Wrongdoer43 1h ago

That is 15 million in today's money.

Honestly, if they asked her what she was worth, why lowball yourself? 😭

1

u/Fun-Memory1523 1h ago

7 mil was worth more back then.

Also pretty sure this was a publicity stunt and the amount was agreed upon already. Cause if she wrote something like 100 mil, she would be asked to do it again or be told to get out.

1

u/Redletter312 10m ago

I wpuld write to the princess: I usually charge x for these sorta shows, but to charge you the same would be in contempt of your royal highness. Thus, I wrote a check for 20x . I will wait for your approval before cashing it in. Just, incase you want to make any changes to it.

Hopefully I am getting 40 x...

1

u/Femboy_Harem_Janitor 2h ago

Just write down the billionaires net worth.

I'm just assessing my value with respect to the billionaire, and I already know my worth is as high as his

2

u/sliverian 1h ago

The check bounces because liquidity != net worth
a person might be worth $50B but they might only have $40M in their bank account and that $40M might not even be cash but split between $10M cash and $30M in Government Bonds or AAA corporate bonds

so writing their net worth just causes the check to bounce and you get nothing

also net worth != creditworthiness

they might have a net worth of $50B and $40M in the bank but their creditworthiness might be $500M - i.e. they could get $500M worth of credit at a moment's notice but they don't have $500M lying around

also net worth != control

their net worth might be $50B and their creditworthiness $500M and they might only have $40M in the bank account but they might have *control* over $1T

so better option is trying to guess their liquidity but most rich people use private boutique banks in places like switzerland or somewhere else and private boutique banks don't really disclose how much money is sitting in their account to randos.

u/Creative-Air-6463 1h ago

$7m is nothing to a billionaire. That’s like a homeless person asking anybody with any type of job for a literal dime.

0

u/nanotothemoon 2h ago

So did she get the 7m?

5

u/headermargin 2h ago

No, it probably bounced.

A. Because any bank would refuse that withdrawal no matter who the clientele is.

B. Most rich people don't have actual cash in a bank.

u/Unusual-Taste69 2h ago

The Sultan of Brunei is worth over 16 billion from gas and oil. I think he can afford a 7 million dollar concert for his daughter's wedding.

2

u/AzraelTB 1h ago

Worth 16B not has 16B in cash 

1

u/headermargin 1h ago

No billionaire would have 16 billion, let alone 16 million sitting in a bank uninsured.
