At the time of Michael Jackson’s death in 2009, his estate was in debt by $500 million. However, through astute management by estate lawyers John Branca and John McClain, the estate has generated over $2 billion since then. Significant transactions included the 2016 sale of Michael’s 50% stake in the Sony/ATV music catalog for $750 million and a 2024 sale of a 50% stake in Michael’s Mijac Music company for $600 million. The estate retains a 10% stake in the latter. After deducting the executors’ fees and taxes, the proceeds from these sales have significantly increased the estate’s value.
Early Life
Michael Joseph Jackson Jr., better known as Prince Michael Jackson, was born on February 13, 1997, in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles. His mother, Debbie Rowe, a dermatology assistant, married Michael Jackson in 1996. Rowe had expressed a desire to bear Jackson’s children even before their marriage, and she claimed to have been artificially inseminated. This has led to persistent rumors about Prince’s biological parentage, with some suggesting actor Mark Lester or dermatologist Dr. Arnold Klein as potential fathers. Despite these speculations, Prince has always identified as Michael Jackson’s son, having been raised by him.
Nicknamed “Prince” from a young age, he was raised primarily by Michael Jackson after his parents divorced in 1999, with Michael obtaining full custody. Prince spent his early years at the Neverland Ranch, with limited contact with his mother. By 2004, amidst child abuse charges against Michael Jackson, Debbie Rowe sought a more significant role in her son’s life, eventually gaining additional access despite having previously terminated her parental rights.
Career and Public Appearances
Prince Michael Jackson leads a relatively private life and makes infrequent public appearances. One of his most notable public appearances was during his father’s memorial service in 2009, where he performed with his family. He has also appeared in various TV shows and documentaries, including the 2003 documentary “Living with Michael Jackson,” a live telecast of his father’s memorial service, the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards, and “The Oprah Winfrey Show” in 2010. In 2011, he appeared on “The X Factor,” and in 2013, he had a brief acting role in an episode of “Beverly Hills 90210.” Despite his appearances, it is uncertain if Prince will pursue a long-term acting career.
