MJ

1 June 2010 - Last years I read persistent rumors that Michael Jackson was close to bankruptcy. However, it was just revealed that his three kids inherit about USD 33 million each. That's a lot of money to be received from a bankrupt father. Via a Trust Fund, the children will also have access to 40% of their fathers estate, currently valued at USD 300 million. And it is by no means expected that Michael Jackson mania will die down any time soon, so the kids (Prince, Paris and Blanket - yes, seriously, Blanket - Jackson) will earn more in the future from merchandising, record sales and other MJ interests. MJ's father, and his ex-wives Debbie Rowe and Lisa-Marie Presley receive nothing. The chimp Bubbles was also not named in the will - so maybe the two of them were not that close after all.
