Michael Jackson’s Will and Estate
Michael Jackson’s will left 40% of his assets to his three children, split evenly. Another 20% was left to children’s charities and the remaining 40% was left to support his mother Katherine. Upon Katherine’s death, that 40% balance goes to Michael’s kids, which means eventually his three children will split 80% of the estate.
At the time of his death, Michael’s estate was in debt of $500 million. However, in the years since his passing, the Jackson estate has generated over $700 million from royalties, licensing deals and box office proceeds related to the film “This is It.”
Early Life and Family
Blanket Jackson, born Prince Michael Jackson II in 2002, is the son of the late Michael Jackson and a surrogate mother. He has two half-siblings, Prince and Paris, and grew up at the Neverland Ranch. Blanket’s godmother was Elizabeth Taylor, and his godfather is Macaulay Culkin. After Michael’s death, Blanket and his siblings were raised by their grandmother, Katherine Jackson, and cousin, TJ Jackson.
Childhood and Controversies
During his early childhood, Blanket and his siblings often wore masks and veils to hide their identities from media and fans. This was criticized by some, but Michael defended it as an attempt to give his children a normal life. Blanket was also at the center of controversy when Michael dangled him from a hotel balcony during a visit to Germany, which Michael later apologized for and called a “terrible mistake.”
Education and Custody
Blanket and his siblings all attended the private Buckley School in Sherman Oaks. In 2017, when Blanket was 15 years old, Katherine Jackson stated her intention to let TJ Jackson have full custody of him.
