What is Paris Jackson's Net Worth?
Paris Jackson is an actress, model, and musician who has a net worth of $100 million. The second child of mega-superstar musician Michael Jackson, Paris' life was far from ordinary. She was often made to wear a mask in public and was unable to travel anywhere without a sea of paparazzi following close on her heels. She spoke in public very rarely and was kept hidden and protected most of the time.
Since Michael's death in 2009, Paris has appeared in public more regularly and has spoken on various talk shows about her odd childhood and her experiences with bullying at school. In 2012, Paris was included on "People" magazine's Most Beautiful People list, and she graced the cover of "Rolling Stone" in 2017. Paris has been ambassador of the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation since 2017.
Inheritance
Michael Jackson's will expressly left 40% of his assets to his three children, to be split evenly. Another 20% was left to various children's charities and the final 40% was left to support his mother Katherine. Upon Katherine's death, that 40% balance goes to Michael's kids, which means eventually his three children will split 80% of the estate.
At the time of his death, Michael's estate was actually in debt to the tune of $500 million. Fortunately for his heirs, in the years since his passing, the Jackson estate has generated over $700 million from royalties, licensing deals and box office proceeds related to the film "This is It."
Early Life
Paris Jackson was born Paris-Michael Katherine Jackson on April 3, 1998, in Beverly Hills, California. Her mother, Debbie Rowe, a dermatology nurse, gave up all parental rights after divorcing Michael Jackson in 1999, and Paris, older brother Michael Joseph (aka Prince), and half-brother Prince Michael (aka Blanket) were raised by their father on Neverland Ranch. Michael was close friends with Macaulay Culkin and Elizabeth Taylor and named them Paris' godparents. After Michael tragically passed away on June 25, 2009, his mother, Katherine, gained custody of his children. Paris attended the Buckley School in Sherman Oaks, where she played softball and flag football and joined the cheerleading squad.
