Inheritance from Michael Jackson’s Estate

Prince, along with his siblings Paris and Bigi (formerly Blanket), inherited 40% of Michael Jackson’s estate, while another 40% was left to their grandmother Katherine Jackson. The final 20% was allocated to children’s charities. When Katherine passes on, her share will also be distributed to the three children, giving each of them approximately 26.7% of the entire estate.

Although Michael Jackson’s estate was $500 million in debt at the time of his death in 2009, the estate’s executors pulled off one of the most successful turnarounds in entertainment history. Strategic sales, including Michael’s stake in the Sony/ATV music catalog for $750 million in 2016, and a $600 million sale of a 50% stake in Mijac Music in 2024, added billions in revenue.

After expenses and management fees, each of the Jackson children reportedly received $67 million from the 2024 Mijac deal and now hold a paper stake of $64 million in the catalog’s remaining value.

Early Life

Prince Jackson was born on February 13, 1997, in Beverly Hills, California. His mother, Debbie Rowe, was a dermatology nurse who married Michael Jackson in 1996 and later gave up parental rights after their divorce in 1999. Michael raised Prince, his sister Paris, and younger brother Bigi at Neverland Ranch, where they lived in relative isolation under tight security.

Prince was raised primarily by a team of nannies and caregivers. After Michael’s death in 2009, the children went under the guardianship of their grandmother, Katherine Jackson. Despite legal tension within the family regarding the estate, Prince has largely kept his public statements measured and respectful, identifying fully as Michael Jackson’s son regardless of persistent speculation about his biological origins.

Life in the Spotlight

Unlike his father, Prince has not pursued a career in music or entertainment on a large scale. However, he has made a few notable public appearances. In 2009, he stood alongside family during Michael Jackson’s televised memorial service and participated in tributes but declined to give a speech.

His media appearances include “Living with Michael Jackson” (2003), “The Oprah Winfrey Show” (2010), “The X Factor” (2011), and “Entertainment Tonight” (2013). In 2013, he made his acting debut with a guest role on the teen drama “Beverly Hills 90210”, though he has not since returned to acting.

Privacy

While Prince occasionally shares glimpses of his life on social media and at public charity events, he has largely avoided the spotlight. He is known for his charitable work, often honoring his father’s legacy through philanthropy and supporting causes close to the Jackson family’s heart.
