Michael Jackson questions

[red kryptonite]

Does anybody have any information of how much money he amassed and exactly how he made so much money?

How much money is he currently in debt?

How did he get a criminal trial to go away by settling with the plaintiff?

How much did he pay to settle?

Thanks.

He made most of his money off of his career as a pop artist, but he has also amassed much wealth because of good business decisions (i.e. when the Beatles record label decided to sell the rights to their entire collection, he out bid paul mccartney for them, so every time a beatles song is used or sold, he gets cash).

debt, i dont know.

I dont think he was ever charged criminally in the first one, he was investigated, but never charged.

Settlement was undisclosed.

Thriller made him a buttload of money.

Here's a good article from November 2003 that breaks down how he made his money, his worth and his debts. Granted it's 2 years ago, so a lot has changed. But it should give you an idea.
