Actually here is the answer to the question.. (not sure I believe this though...):-

An art broker has filed a lawsuit against Axl Rose, claiming the rocker backed out of a deal to pay $2.36 million for an Andy Warhol portrait of John Lennon.

Acquire d'Arte, in a lawsuit filed Sept. 11 in Los Angeles Superior Court, said it negotiated with a New York art gallery and was able to lower the price of the artwork from $2.65 million to $2.36 million for Rose.

But after agreeing to buy the portrait, the Guns N' Roses frontman paid only $1.21 million, according to the suit. Rose's manager and attorney told the broker that the rocker would not pay the remaining balance because he didn't have enough money and "the painting was not worth the price he had agreed to pay," the lawsuit stated.

Rose's lawyer, Howard Weitzman, said some of the deal's terms and conditions may have been misrepresented to his client.

"It's my opinion that Axl Rose is the victim of some fraud or misrepresentation here," Weitzman said Wednesday.

Acquire d'Arte was seeking $1.15 million in damages.

Yeah.. Well there's probably more to Axl's finacially state than just this case but still.. He for sure ain't nearly as rich as he was back in the days. No record for forever and endless courtcases (and don't get me started on plastic surgery :P) has taken it's toll from him.

#1) The art dealer payments mean nothing. Axl is a businessman. He doesn't have millions and millions laying around. It can take time for his accountants to get large sums of money secured.

#2) That list isn't the rockstars who have the most money, just who made the most in the past year. McCartney is worth closer to $1 Billion before his divorce settlement.

#3) So how much is he worth? I would guess between $50-70 million considering record sales and touring.
