It might be four years since Michael Jackson’s untimely passing, but his legacy is still alive, maybe even more than ever. 60 Minutes recently explored his life after death (no Biggie) and the material possessions he left behind, visiting the warehouse which houses them all, as well as talking to John Branca, who is an executor of his estate.
During the report, you can see some of the belongings that they’re stored (the Neverland sign, a portion of his cars, clothes he wore) all while they investigated how much he’s made after his passing. Although he left half a billion dollars in debt at the time of his death, that has been erased through multiple investments and sales of his catalog and the posthumous movie This Is It, among other things.
Speaking to Zach O’Malley Greenberg from FORBES, he says Michael Jackson’s estate has made an estimated $600 million dollars in four years, more than any living artist today. Although his passing was untimely, everyone now remembers MJ for who he was musically. And there will never be another Pop artist like him again.
