“Whitney’s fortune is gone,” the source said. “Music industry heavy hitters are supporting her and her label is fronting her cash against her next album, but no one knows when that will be released.”
The six-time Grammy winner has blown through an enormous fortune that she amassed over decades of stardom.

“She might be homeless if not for people saving her. She is broke as a joke.”
Bobby Brown’s ex-wife’s financial woes have her so cash strapped she’s been begging friends for help.

Whitney, you have no one to blame but yourself. You have let drugs rule your life for years and now, you're scrambling. If you had any sense, you would get clean, get with a dietician and clean up your life.

Rich people are never broke like regular people. They still live well and someone gives them money and a place to live. Broke is not broke when you were part of the wealthy set.

Even Whitney herself probably doesn't know how much money she has. Yet, ROL again quotes an unnamed source. Slow news day, I guess.
