Paris Jackson has reportedly received $65 million from her late father Michael Jackson’s estate, as outlined in recent court documents.
This figure came to light on October 9 following a filing by the estate’s administrators. It was a response to Paris, age 27, who had expressed concerns in June regarding the payments from her father’s estate.
The estate’s administrators countered her claims in their new filing, emphasizing that the amount she received is significant.
The documents state, “Few individuals benefited more from the executor’s decisions than the appellants themselves, who received approximately $65 million from the estate administrator.” They suggested that had the executors employed a standard strategy back in July 2009, Paris might not have received that sum at all.
Furthermore, the executors highlighted their role in transforming Michael Jackson’s estate into a lucrative entity. Their filing claimed they converted what was initially a burden of debt into a powerful force in the music industry today.
Paris, being Michael’s only daughter, had also pointed out in her June filing concerns over $625,000 in payments sought for three law firms, suggesting they included substantial tips for already well-paid attorneys.
Both parties, representatives for Paris and Michael’s estate, have not yet commented on the latest statements.
Additionally, a filing from September disclosed that accusers Wade Robson and James Safechuck are pursuing $400 million in damages against the estate for alleged abuse. The executors warned that not covering legal fees could destabilize the foundation and impede their ability to address these allegations.
Amidst all this legal turmoil, Paris enjoyed a touching moment with her aunt, Janet Jackson, during Paris Fashion Week, contrary to past rumors of a strained relationship.
The estate has consistently denied the sexual assault claims made against Michael Jackson, reiterating that they believe the allegations lack merit.
