I don't doubt it.thats why he was murdered .....Jews bro..
Under a billion
how can mj play a bunch of season japanese businessman? he bought a music catalog and tried to manage himself and lost miliions, universal owed him over 80 million dollars by the time he died over unpaid royalties
So he gets no credit for being able to outmaneuver Sony to obtain the catalog in the first place???
Cacs play the long game.
MJ was unmatched in the business sense, but give a man a rope long enough and he'll hang himself. He made his heirs in their image, and they sold his rights and money down the river. The icing on the cake was the youngest grandson suing Katherine for trying to fight Sony to the end. His mom knew how hard he worked to get to where he was in business, and not giving it up to his enemies meant everything to her. His "kids"? Just another pay day for them. Its not like its their blood.

Who does he think he is? Um. Michael fucking Jackson. The biggest entertainer in the world.
of course, he gets credit for having the nerve to buy and manage that catalog, but he was taking better care of white artist better then black artist, u see he didn't pay Toni Braxton, tlc or babyface.
That first pic look like a 80s version of Pharrell with a crack problem
.>and you lnow this how?Yeah but Mike didnt get no pussy til he died
The thing is for that catalog to be beneficial you have to have money and know how to manage it. Whoever got it came up though.
Because he was a gay man who didnt want anything to do with women.
Aka everything his family(and kids) should have been prepared to do. Of the 9 Jackson kids that survived to adulthood 6 ended up in the rock and roll hall of fame. Entertainment was the family business, and as performers they reached the top. Their kids, at the very least, should have been prepared to take ownership roles in business. Michael owned 50% of Sony ATV. Even if he believed that the white man was out to get him, he made not 1, not 2, but 3 full white kids. He could have set them on course to maintain the wealth he created by playing their game 100%. What was left were 3 completely unremarkable white kids from Michael, a bunch of slackers from the rest who also threw away the stimulus check their parents should have gave them.
They are summed up perfectly by Tito's 3 retard kids.
The oldest who is attempting to fill in his dad's shoes poorly by doing 2 bit venues with 2 of his geriatric uncles. Trying to pimp his daughter as some kind of model when she looks just like every other bland favela kid you'd see in Rio.
The middle one being an actual cuck who hasnt been able to secure a recording contract even with the Jackson name for over 30 years.
and the youngest who thought he could play house with Mike's kids to get some extra money to fund a drug habit. Now scamming michael fans for a fake documentary to prove his uncle's innocence, despite the fact he was already found not guilty and has been dead for 16 years in 2 weeks.
I thought he fucked DianaYeah but Mike didnt get no pussy til he died
I understand you’re joking but why do you associate that picture with a crack problem?
If you were in ny in the 80s you know why..looks like a highly suspect person on certain aves looking to cop some color tops
44 born 1980Shit, I was barely on earth in the 80s, gramps…
The latin-Americazation is strong.
You see it down there all the time. Everybody looks unremarkable. Some brand of off-white. Usually racist as hell, but theres always a black grandmammy/pappy in the family tree:
Always......Thats the end game of integration. When you make it, your genes are swallowed up. Black excellence turns to white excellence.
Thought it was Chris Rock at first..
In the 7th photo that's when he played the mayor in that Ghosts video
All of Hollywood knows this bro
Dirty Diana was a hit record but that dont mean Michael hit it
I believe Da brat and JD, confirmed the Mariah Carey stuff. Because JD said he had his own run ins with Tommy Matolla.
I dont think his family estate is losing at all in the deal...
Sony Music Buys Stake in Michael Jackson Catalog, Valuing Rights at Over $1.2B
The deal, which is likely worth at least $600 million, includes half of the late star's publishing and recorded masters catalog.
Michael JacksonGeorge De Sota/Redferns
In what could be the largest valuation ever of a musician’s music assets, Sony Music Group has closed an agreement to buy half of Michael Jackson‘s publishing and recorded masters catalog in a deal that sources say valued those music assets somewhere above $1.2 billion. Other sources have suggested it might be as much as $1.5 billion. At those valuations, Sony will pay at least $600 million for its stake of the legendary rights.
That means that the Jackson deal, which closed late last year, is at a bigger valuation than the $1.2 billion that Queen is currently seeking. And whereas the Queen valuation includes, sources say, royalties from income streams beyond the masters and publishing, including from the Freddie Mercury biopic, Bohemian Rhapsody, and theatrical productions using Queen’s music, Sony’s deal with the Michael Jackson estate does not include royalties from the Broadway play and other theatrical productions featuring Jackson’s music.

01/19/2024It may not, however, just be Jackson’s music that’s involved in the deal. Sources say the current deal includes non-Jackson-authored songs in his Mijac publishing catalog, which also includes the approximately 250-song Sly & the Family Stone publishing catalog as well as iconic songs written and/or performed by Jerry Lee Lewis, Jackie Wilson, Curtis Mayfield, Ray Charles, Percy Sledge and Dion.
Last February, following a story first reported by Variety that the Jackson deal was being negotiated, Billboard estimated that the iconic artist’s estate earns about $75 million annually. Those assets include ownership of master recordings, publishing for Jackson’s share of his songs, his Mijac publishing catalog and revenue from merchandise and royalties from theatrical shows featuring Jackson’s music. At the time, Billboard estimated that within the $75 million estimate, Jackson’s recording and publishing assets alone brought in $47.2 million to the estate; and that Mijac might be bringing in another $5 million to $8 million annually.

The Jackson estimate, however, did not take into account that his popularity appears to be growing as the streaming marketplace expands.
Sales and streams of Jackson’s music grew steadily from 1.07 million album equivalent units in 2020 to 1.47 million in 2023 — up 37% over those three years — according to Luminate. That outpaced the overall U.S. music market for album consumption units, which grew 22.9% during that time period. Outside the United States, Jackson is arguably even more popular. In 2023, consumption of his music grew 38.3% to 6.5 billion on-demand streams, up from 4.7 billion streams in 2021.

Next year, a Jackson biopic called Michael will be released, likely fueling even more growth to his fanbase, boosting consumption and triggering more revenue to flow to his estate and any other rights holder.

Michael Jackson Biopic Gets Release Date
01/11/2024With all of the economic returns the estate is delivering, the masterminds behind it — lawyer John Branca and A&R executive John McClain — are expected to continue to stay involved as co-executors.
Sources indicate that the Sony deal also leaves in place Primary Wave’s stake, which is believed to be about 10% of Jackson’s publishing assets.
Throughout the years, Sony has paid the Jackson estate more than $2 billion in some major deals that go beyond distributing royalties for his records and songs. In 1991, the company paid $100 million to buy the first half of what became Sony/ATV; ATV Music was the catalog that Jackson bought in 1985 that contained the Beatles catalog and other popular songs. That was merged into Sony’s music publishing operation to become Sony/ATV, with Sony and Jackson each owning 50% of that company. In 2016, the company paid $750 million for the remaining 50% of Sony/ATV. It also paid $287.5 million for the Jackson estate’s share of the consortium that owned EMI Music Publishing in 2018, as well as dividends during its ownership of those assets that came out to a total of about $1.6 billion. And now, the latest deal adds another $600 million or more, driving the total amount past the $2 billion mark.

Sony has been active with acquisitions over the past year. Last year, it was reported to also be acquiring what was been described as a significant minority stake in the Latin label and management company Rimas Entertainment, which launched Bad Bunny‘s career. The overall deal for the label and management was expected to have about a $300 million valuation, sources said at the time.
In May 2023, Sony also acquired the RECORDS catalog from Barry Weiss, Ron Perry and Matt Pincus, buying out the latter duo in a deal that was seeking a $100 million valuation; and then did a going forward 50/50 deal with Weiss, who retained control of the label’s recent catalog.
I could be wrong, but they are saying this deal with his family has netted the estate more than 2 billion total!! yea, i think the family is doing what its suppose to do as it relates to the business; @ViCiouS what do you think bro???I dont think his family estate is losing at all in the deal...
