Among them: pacts forfor his half of the Sony/ATV catalog in 2016, in addition to the aforementioned sale of his EMI stake.
Jackson still can count on further payouts from Sony, cash from the Las Vegas show Michael Jackson One and millions from his own Mijac Music catalog, which his estate still controls. And then there’s his sprawling Neverland compound, now known by its original Sycamore Valley Ranch moniker, which at $31 million
