Michael Jacksonwas one of the biggest names in music for multiple generations.
However, nothing was farther from the truth.
The King Of Pop was disillusioned with his own financial situation and died deeply in debt.
Sadly, it was the pursuit of this dream that would contribute to Jackson’s death.
His total career pre-tax earnings in both life and death exceeded $4 billion (perForbes).
Nearly half of those earnings have come in since Jackson’s 2009 death.
In 2016, Sony Corporation bought out Michael’s share of Sony/ATV for $750 million.
