PRINCE ORDERED TO PAY FORMER LAWYERS OVER $700,000 DOLLARS!

Prince may become a pauper after being ordered this month to pay his former lawyers over $700,000, according to court documents.

The purple-cloaked king of pop failed to respond to a March suit filed by his former lawyers who claimed he stiffed them on fees, records show.

So a Manhattan judge on July 15 ordered Prince to shell out $708,687 to Patterson Belknap Webb & Tyler plus 9% interest dating back to 2008.

The Manhattan Supreme Court case says Prince, whose name is Prince Rogers Nelson, paid only $125,000 of the bill.

The legal team helped Prince during his divorce, and when a New York perfume company sued him for failing to promote a "sexy scent" in a purple box as promised.

They also represented him for canceled concerts in Dublin and California. Prince was also sued in 2006 for adding too much purple to the Hollywood pad he was renting for $70,000 a month from NBA star Carlos Boozer.

The Manhattan-based firm did not return a call for comment.

Prince could not be reached for comment at his Paisley Park Enterprises headquarters in Minnesota.
