Michael Jackson's Kids Set to Inherit $33 Million Each


Michael Jackson's will was made public last year, but until now, all of the details of his trust have remained a private matter. News of the World got its hands on the details of the King of Pop's trust, and each of Jackson's kids will be rolling in the dough by the time they turn 30.

According to the trust, Prince, 13; Paris, 12; and young Blanket, 8, will receive a 40 percent share of their deceased dad's estate, or by today's calculations $33 million each. Upon turning 30, each child will receive a third of their share, and at age 35, they'll receive half. At 40, they get the remainder.

The Jackson matriarch, Katherine, as stipulated in her son's will, gets 40 percent of his interests, which translates into a possible $99 million and legal guardianship of the children. Upon her death, the remainder of her share will automatically go to Jackson's three children. The final 20 percent will go to whatever charity Jackson named in his will.

It was reported last year that the megasuperstar's estate was worth $500 million upon his death. The estate allegedly consisted of non-cash, non-liquid assets, including a catalog of music royalty rights and interests in various entities.

Since Jackson's estate (and the business that is generated from it) will only increase, his children may be looking at not $33 million but at least $300 million when it is time to collect their fair share, as speculated by economists.

Reportedly, Jackson's fellow group members and brothers Tito, Marlon, Jermaine and Jackie; brother Randy; former wives Debbie Rowe and Lisa Marie Presley; sisters Latoya, Rebbie and Janet and patriarch Joe were all excluded from the entertainer's will.
