Michael Jackson’s Daughter, Paris, Gets $65 Million From Singer’s Estate
Court documents revealed that Paris Jackson received $65 million in benefits from her late father, Michael Jackson’s estate. The news came from an October 9 filing by estate executors responding to her concerns about estate payments.
Paris, now 27, filed papers in June expressing concern about how her father’s estate handled its financial responsibilities. The executors fired back, claiming she benefited the most from their management.
The filing stated that “few have gained more from the Executors’ business judgment” than Paris herself. They added she would not have received that much money if they had managed the estate like a standard one in 2009.
From Heavy Debt to a $2 Billion Turnaround

When Michael Jackson passed away, his estate was buried in debt. Yet, through aggressive business decisions and new deals, the executors claim they rebuilt it into a $2 billion empire.
They explained that their financial strategies “turned a struggling estate into a powerhouse.” That success, they argued, has benefited every member of the Jackson family.
Paris, however, raised concerns about how certain funds were handled. Her 2018 filing pointed to roughly $625,000 paid to three law firms — a figure she believed included excessive perks for attorneys already being generously compensated.
Legal Challenges Continue
The estate’s troubles didn’t stop there. Ongoing lawsuits from Wade Robson and James Safechuck, who continue to seek $400 million in damages, remain unresolved. These long-running claims have kept the late singer’s name in public debate for years.
Estate executors warned that withholding funds for legal defense could severely harm operations. They argued that stopping payment of fees “would be disastrous,” given how essential the ongoing legal work is to protecting the estate’s financial health.
A spokesperson reaffirmed that the lawsuits lack merit and insisted on Jackson’s innocence. Regardless of the headlines, the estate remains a dominant force in global entertainment revenue.

A Legacy That Shapes Music and Family
Michael Jackson’s story remains intertwined with both cultural influence and business success. His estate’s resurgence from financial instability to billion-dollar triumph reflects careful, strategic management.
Paris’s reported $65 million inheritance speaks to that revival, but it also reveals the pressures of maintaining one of music’s most scrutinized legacies. Through all the complexity, the Jackson family’s renewed unity shows their shared mission: protecting Michael’s legacy while carrying it forward.
