Michael Jackson is the world's richest dead celebrity—and his empire doesn't look like it will suffer much from 'Leaving Neverland' fallout

$47.5 million for the original ATV catalog, which included some of the Beatles' biggest hits, in the 1980s before merging it with Sony's a decade laterseems complicated at best. Any theoretical unwinding of Jackson's publishing would likely drag along other music contained within his Mijac publishing entity, the catalog of Sly and the Family Stone, as well as hits popularized by Aretha Franklin and Jackson's late father-in-law Elvis Presley.

Beyond music, other licensing deals appear to have remained in place thus far. Authentic Brands Group, which handles Jackson's merchandise, asserts that none of its partners have pulled out of any agreements., the Cirque du Soleil production at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, seems to be on track as well . Sin City ticketing is notoriously opaque, but show dates look to be half-to-two-thirds full as far out as December, although a spokesperson for Cirque wouldn't reveal exact sales numbers.

Selling Neverland: Jackson's ranch is on the block; the asking price has dropped from $100 million to $31 million since 2015.

RogerStan123 He shouldn’t be destroyed over PROVEN LIES. Unfortunately, the msm refuses to inform the public of the entire picture. It’s shameful. LeavingNeverland is a FRAUD. Wade/James have been caught in MANY lies & inconsistencies. READ THIS ⬇️ he lays it all out

AutumnJoi This is why this is happening to Michael! He was too trusting!

Bryant101ftw

That’s my guy. I love him so much. I can’t believe he’s not here but at the same time I’d be seriously distressed if he was suffering by hearing and seeing what’s been said. Still his fans are relentless. His love, and estate will continue to grow weloveyoumichael myfam

j9wlz Randi Jackson, MJ's niece, Randi dated Wade Robson for for than 7 yrs. On the 3/9/2019 interview Randi explains why she knows for sure that Wade Robson is lying on the HBO documentary. Here is a link of the interview

People wasting money

SurefireMJ The shopping spree I had directly after that fantasy movie was overwhelming. I even bought a new copy of Moonwalk! Because, that's what you do when a dead artist and an amazing human being is being defamed by the media and two...wait, the director!...make it three liars.

TheMJLegion Don’t forget to click on that Elvis Presley link in the story too to see what a “fine upstanding citizen HE was🤫🤔🙄

MJJLegion They tried to come for us, but we thrive!!!!! MJInnocent

MJJLegion The media has constantly dehumanised this man. The allegations killed him, and orphaned his children! You want to pretend that all is well.. guess what, he died. It's the Estate making the money, which isn't even controlled by his children, let alone the Jackson family.

MJJLegion Because it's a great volume of work. 👍🏽💯 GOAT

lol no it won't suffer but Wade will, once we done with him and his lies

doesn't matter if it will suffer in wealth or not, the problem is discredit!

MJJLegion King of Pop👑

The king will reign forever! IMMORTAL! MJInnocent

Because he‘s an innocent man

Ya’ll talking about the KING OF POP! 💙💙💙 RIP MJ! your fans will support you forever ✊🏻 innocent

Cause God sees everything. I’m in a position of my life, trying not to judge others based on things that’s being said. So I think they should try that and focus on the pedophiles on this earth. No one will ever be like you. Love you MJ. Only God can judge you.

King 👑

MJ has been the richest celebrity -dead or alive - in the past few years. Photos and source from:

MJStarOfficial Good it shouldn’t Wade and James we’re acting on that fake ass documentary I have found several inconsistencies in their stories and I’m not even a journalist the media should do their jobs period

If I see one more dumb ass person say he settled... HE.DID.NOT.SETTLE! The insurance company paid it out under his liability insurance under the advice of his dumb ass lawyers at the time BC he just signed to Sony & it would have taken away from the tour. MJ WANTED TO FIGHT IT!

2 bad 2 bad about it! 👑

barbarataylor15 Peoplecsee this is an attempt at extorting his estate, but I’m glad they are suing HBO for 100 million I hope they get what they want OPEN ARBITRATION, so the public can see who funded this trash

ysi.

ramses_jahir

He is the richest and thats why they slandering his name. Liers will be expose very soon 😎

Michael is and will always be innocent point blank period, some people are mad abut that and it shows but oh well MICHAEL IS THE KING OF POP FOR EVER!! I don't give no fucks about that documentary.

Is Michael

Yeah that way!

Stay pressed, haters. MJInnocent Meanwhile, Wade Robson is struggling to pay for his rent and warm water. 😌

EpicL86 Did you read this Dan?

EpicL86 I bought HIStory and Number Ones directly after it aired. MichaelJackson MJInnocent AmplifyMJ

I mean he is the King of Pop!

“BUT THEyre NOT getting MONEY frOM THE DOC” No. but they’re suing the estate in hopes for a settlement. Since that’s where the main money is. 🤦🏻‍♀️

dirtydiariana Y'all tried to end him but the KING IS RISING

Forbes you have been so incredible thank u MJInnocent

JUST BEAT IT

Proven liars are not going to kill MJ legacy anytime soon . Unless they have a tape and some credibility , then i will stick by Michael no matter what . King Of Pop forever .

It's like I want to listen to his music more

A lie is still a lie even if it's in Leaving Neverland. In fact, Leaving Neverland is synonymous to LIES & is based on lies & just contradicting accounts of two perjurers, with no mention of their money driven agenda.

His music is above lies.

Because the truth of Michael Jackson's innocence is more powerful than the lies contained within Leaving Neverland!! MJInnocent

Just let him RIP!

MJStarOfficial MJInnocent stremMJ

Why people, talk about Michael Jackson as if he never died but for a short TIME left the media spotlight. Now wishing he'd never left? Assuming he's dead as we all know he is UNHumanRights. May we rid ourselves of Deception MassCommunicationError Misconception WonderWoman

MJJsfanforever mjinnocent innocent michaeljackson We Love you Michael!!

Sad for some other big names in the game. So let's form a conspiracy against a dead man.

Stream Michael Jackson today!!!🎶🎵🎼🎤

Mjvibe Facts don't lie people do MJInnocent

A stunt.

Thanks forbes for your incredible support❤

nakiyah_laney It’s not about his rich empire being destroyed, it’s about the slandering of a good man’s reputation, who is no longer here to defend himself, and his children and remaining family having to go through this torment.

Y'all got a lust for him... Y'all wanna bring him down.. But too bad too bad MJInnocent king of pop

Facts Don’t Lie, People Do

That’s unfortunate. But at least now the adoration from his fans has

QueenG5898 Of course it should not suffer much.. old disproven accusations that are all ready unraveling.. the public knows the truth

it is [THEY] who will suffer ....sooon

The more they try to drag him down, we will lift him up. ✌️ make no mistake.

QueenG5898 For the record, we believe and support REAL victims. These two are PROVEN perjurers looking for money because they think waking up early to go to work everyday is beneath them.

People taking advantage to get $ isn’t something new. Now is the right time, as you can use the media as a powerful tool.

TheBestofMJJ The way it should be! RIP michaeljackson

Maybe because people can see through the bullshit. Michael Jackson is innocent. He will never be muted. He will never be cancelled. The media could at least attempt to do some research though. Just once?

VP_Advocacy Nor should it - because Leaving Neverland is fraudulent as are the 'participants' in the 'story.' Here's what a dancer who worked with Wade Robson has to say.

mjBeats HIS EMPIRE WILL NEVER SUFFER. HE’S FOREVER❤️ MJInnocent

Which is so sad. That money should go to every victim of his abuse.

HIS EMPIRE WILL NOT SUFFER... But the OTHERS WILL....

His entire family did nothing, knowing what was going on ,so that means these kids were molested by the entire Jackson family!

There was no fallout.

JohnnyAi Nice try from the 2 liars/frauds & one sided media. His music and everything he did for the entertainment industry wil never ever be rivalled for hundreds of years. He is simply the most successful artist of all time.

Been blasting out his hits all day. HeeHeeeee

Keep milking innocent dead man ... we know from the beginning it’s all about 💰💰💰💰💰 it seems 100 stars all together won’t help whoever behind this horrible conspiracy to get more wealthy than Michael Jackson name & fame MichaelJacksonIsInnocent

at least the child rapist is gone

Fortunately for the Jackson estate Michael Jackson's Tunes will never go out of style TIMELESS AND GREAT it's a double black eye though for his legacy all this criminal Behavior with young boys

kinda like the vatican, eh? if you've got shitloads of money, let the child molesting begin!

We had him in this world once upon a time.....
