Jackson’s eldest child got a head start in life with her inheritance, but Paris has raked in her own money with music and acting projects, like American Horror Stories

MJ’s youngest son ditched his childhood nickname ‘Blanket’ in favour for the name ‘Bigi’, and celebrated turning 18 by buying himself a US$2 million mansion

The Jacksons are undoubtedly the most iconic family in music history. From the old-school days of the Jackson 5 to the legendary solo careers of Michael and Janet, the famous surname sure has been lucrative for the entire clan.

Contrary to internet rumours, Janet is not a billionaire. She was previously married to billionaire businessman Wissam Al Mana, a Qatari retail tycoon, but they split in 2017 soon after the birth of their son, Eissa. At the time, it was widely speculated that Janet was in a battle with Al Mana over US$250 million in alimony.

According to Celebrity Net Worth, after a career spanning four decades and selling over 185 million records, Janet is now worth an estimated US$190 million. Not bad for a single mum who only works when she wants to.

At the time of his death, he was worth around US$500 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth, and in 2018, his earnings reportedly reached US$825 million. In May 2021, a judge ruled that Michael’s estate was worth US$111 million.
