Are the Jacksons broke?

jackson-5.jpg

You make the call, but I think this is very sad….

Joseph Jackson, 79 and Katherine Jackson, 77

Dad hustles various girl groups in Las Vegas. Mom is still a stay-at-home housewife and the only family member in contact with Michael. Both have previously filed for bankruptcy

Janet Jackson, 41

The current family breadwinner. She bought her mom a Vegas home in anticipation of losing the family’s mansion, Hayvenhurst, to foreclosure. Like their Neverland colleagues, workers at Hayvenhurst have not been paid for months.

La Toya Jackson, 52

Family turncoat who declared Michael guilty during the 1993 molestation case, she earns a living mostly in Europe and in the UAE judging beauty and singing contests. She lives with a wealthy boyfriend in Beverly Hills and has little contact with her siblings.

Rebbie Jackson, 57

The oldest, she’s married to successful businessman Nathaniel Brown.

Tito Jackson, 55

Formed a blues band several years ago and plays at small venues for $500 to $1,500 a gig.

Michael Jackson, 49

On the verge of losing Neverland ranch as well as the family’s Encino, Calif., home. He’s hiding out in Las Vegas and repeatedly makes promises to his brothers while sabotaging any attempts by them to ply their musical trade.

Randy Jackson, 46

Does odd jobs like changing tires to support himself. He was Michael’s business manager during the 2005 molestation trial but ran into serious problems with friends after he persuaded three people to take out lines of credits against their homes to help Michael pay his attorney fees and Michael stiffed them.

Marlon Jackson, 51

Lives in San Diego, where he works stocking groceries at a Vons supermarket. He fell on hard times three years ago when he was forced to leave his foreclosed home and move into an Extended Stay America hotel with his wife, Carol.

Jackie Jackson, 56

The oldest son started an Internet clothing business and is trying to produce records by his sons. Nothing has panned out.

Jermaine Jackson, 54

Splits time between the parents’ Hayvenhurst mansion and his girlfriend’s home in the San Fernando Valley. With more than $5 million in federal, state and other liens against him and a 1995 bankruptcy filing, he doesn’t work or have a regular income.” (source)

BULLSH-T. In terms of the family outside of Michael I’m sure that Janet is the bread winner. What these clowns in the media never put out is that Michael Jackson has 100% ownership of the Beatles’ Collection. The existing Beatles have NO rights to that music after the rights were sold to Michael in the early 90s for $250 million. The existing Beatles have rights only to the music they made as solo artists. Michael is still filthy stinking rich, but he’s not big on staying the states. That’s why he’s been staying in his estate in Bahrain often these days. Michael doesn’t have to sell another record, do another tour or commercial, nor make a guest appearance. He has enough money to stay filthy rich for a century. lol Simply b/c he’s Black (despite what you see on his skin now) & well loved, he’s been the object of envy by these rat bastards in the press on up. Michael could bleach his skin until he becomes albino. These jealous ones’ will always hate him b/c he’s Black, rich, and famous.

this is what not saving your money can do for you. it seems to me that janet was the only smart entertainer in the family. michael more than likely made the most money, but managed it poorly over the years…everyone else-who cares.
