Everyone keeps mentioning Mike's money, don't forget he is broke he actually filed BK in court, alot of things were being purchased or leased based off the contigent sale of Neverland Ranch. He was an artist that brought people together through his Music.

 

The only profits his kids will see, is when the oldest one writes a book on the life in the Jackson Household. Mike owes everyone money. Granted back in 1993, yes 1993 he paid that kid $20 million to get the case closed. That was a hugh sum of money back then considering the highest baseball star was making $5.5 million a year. If he didn't have such a long career, he would have ended up like Hammer.

 

Do you guys remember his video game, Moonwalker? hahaha robo-michael..

Anyway like everyone said, the guy was famous because he made hit after freakin hit, not solely because he at one time was rich.
