Paris Jackson, daughter of the late Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, has received a sum of $65 million from the family estate, according to recently filed documents.
The 27-year-old has made accusations against the executors managing the estate, John Branca and John McClain, claiming they made “premium payments” or bonuses of $625,000 to law firms back in 2018, which she says were handled without proper transparency.
In response, the executors defended their actions, asserting that the amount Paris received would not have been possible without the financial restructuring they led, transforming an initially heavily indebted estate into a profitable one.
¿Why is Paris now demanding greater control and clarity?
She argues that the administrators operate in secrecy and rely on outdated court orders to justify unsupervised payments. Paris is calling for the annulment of a 2010 court order that allows them to make disbursements without prior judicial approval.
This new episode not only places the management of one of the most high-profile estates in the entertainment world under scrutiny but also raises questions about the rights of beneficiaries to demand transparency in the handling of their own inheritance.
