What Is Blanket Jackson’s Net Worth?

Bigi Jackson, formerly known as Blanket Jackson, is the third child of the late Michael Jackson. He has a net worth of $100 million and was an associate producer on the 2013 film “Kingdom Come.” In 2015, he changed his name from Blanket to Bigi.

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.

Jackson’s Work in Film and Television

Aside from his personal life, Jackson has also been involved in the entertainment industry. He served as an associate producer on the 2013 film “Kingdom Come,” which was nominated for six awards at the 2014 Long Beach International Film Festival and won the award for Best Actor. Jackson himself has appeared in several television specials and shows, including “Living with Michael Jackson: A Tonight Special” (2003), “The Oprah Winfrey Show” (2010), “The X Factor” (2011), “Life with La Toya” (2014), and “The Jacksons: Next Generation” (2015).

Bigi Jackson Speaks Out on Climate Change

Bigi Jackson, the famously private son of Michael Jackson, gave a rare interview with “Good Morning Britain” in which he discussed his concerns about climate change.
