^That doesn't surprise me. Stevie really went through her money back in the day. She must have spent millions and millions on cocaine alone. At the height of her fame, she also insisted on having every single hotel room she stayed in painted white and redecorated before her arrival... all at her personal cost. She famously watched the movie "Risky Business" one night, and somehow during the night she got somebody on the phone who was able to deliver her a Porsche identical to the one in the movie by the next morning. The woman buys homes and moves constantly, too. And I think it was Courtney Love who said Stevie was the type who when she heard you were sick, would show up on your doorstep with thousand dollar cashmere blankets to give you so you could curl up and feel better. All of this stuff adds up. Stevie says she's never looked at a price tag since 1975. All of this is probably why she tours so heavily to this day... she's gotta work a lot to pay for her lifestyle!
