Two videos were made for Money Don't Matter 2 Night, one directed by Spike Lee, which has footage (shot in black and white) of a family trying to make ends meet, interspersed with images of the great depression, and poverty in the 90s. (By then) businessman Donald Trump, President George Bush, National Security Advisor Colin Powell and general Norman Schwarzkopf Jr. are also in the footage. As well as images of wealth (a casino), the 1990 war in Irak, Shanty-town Soweto and a presidential ball.
A second video was directed by Larry Fong and shows Prince and The NPG performing the song in the studio. The footage of thethis was presumably shot in January 1992 together with footage for a Willing And Able video.
Both Money Don't Matter 2 Night videos premiered on the same day, 14 April 1992. A third video combining the Spike Lee 'political'- and Larry Fong performance video was made and premiered somewhat later.
