Prepare to be amazed as we uncover the staggering inheritance of Paris Jackson, the daughter of the legendary Michael Jackson. This story is a real eye-opener, and it's about to get even more intriguing!
Paris, the talented singer known for her powerful vocals, was just 11 when her father passed away, leaving behind a complex legacy. The circumstances surrounding his death, an acute overdose of propofol and sedatives, have been well-documented, but the financial aftermath is what has recently come to light.
A recent court filing has revealed the staggering sum Paris has inherited from her father's estate. According to E! News, Paris has received a whopping $65 million in benefits from the estate, a figure that is attributed to the restructuring efforts of the attorneys managing the estate.
But here's where it gets controversial... Paris believes that the law firms in charge of her father's wealth have been less than transparent with their "premium payouts." In a petition filed against these firms, Paris questioned the allocation of $625,000 to three separate law firms for unrecorded attorney time back in 2018.
The outlet further reports that Michael Jackson was in significant debt at the time of his passing, over $500 million, and it was the attorneys' financial turnaround that led to such a substantial inheritance for his children.
Paris isn't alone in inheriting from her father's estate. Her brothers, Prince Jackson and Bigi "Blanket" Jackson, are also beneficiaries. However, Paris has been the most vocal about setting the record straight, especially when it comes to her personal life.
Earlier this year, Paris took to Twitter to address her breakup with fiancé Justin Long, calling out The Sun (now X) for sharing paparazzi photos of her crying. She clarified that those were indeed breakup tears, and not related to the anniversary of her father's death, as the media had suggested.
And this is the part most people miss... Paris has also had to deal with criticism regarding her career choices. When it was announced that she would be performing on the 16th anniversary of Michael's passing, some tabloid headlines created a stir. In a video response, Paris explained that as a supporting act on a tour with Incubus and Manchester Orchestra, she had no control over the tour dates. She even joked about her accommodations, saying she'd be traveling in a "soccer mom van."
So, what do you think? Is Paris justified in questioning the management of her father's estate? And should celebrities be given more privacy when it comes to their personal lives and career choices? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
