ventures.

After expenses, that $2 billion gets cut down to
around $800m, which is a very good return. But
the $800 mil gets significantly cut by taxes –
we’re told to around $450 million.
MJ’s debts at the time of his death were around $
500 million, so just on those two numbers the
estate approaches being in the black.
But there are other ventures, like Sony, where the
estate generates a lot of cash.
As for Michael’s kids, there’s a trust where
millions gets distributed as they get older.
Sources told TMZ that ‘if the estate were
completely liquidated today, each kid would get
around $100 million’.
Michael Jackson died June 25th, 2009 at the age of
50.
