Prince was holding almost $1 million worth of gold bars in his house

Not to mention $6 million in hard cash...

A vault full of highly coveted, unreleased music wasn't the only thing Prince was keeping under wraps.

This week, the Carver County District Court released a report citing the inventory of the late music legend's estate. Although the 'Purple Rain' singer, who tragically passed last April, left behind no stocks or bonds, he did leave a well of other riches for safe keeping.

Accounted for were 67 10-ounce gold bars worth just under $850,000, as well as $6 million in hard cash from his firms Paisley Park Enterprises Inc., NPG Records Inc. and Music Publishing and LotusFlow3r.

If that wasn't enough, Prince also owned 12 Minnesota properties worth more than $25 million and a large collective of other assets still being valued.

It is still undecided who will inherit the pop icon's fortune.
