Paris Jackson takes legal action over Michael Jackson's estate

Entertainment Nov 21, 2025

Paris Jackson is filing a legal objection against the executors managing her late father Michael Jackson's estate, saying they haven't been transparent and left $464 million just sitting there instead of investing it.
She filed the legal objection on November 18, 2024, and wants answers about how things are being run.

Questions raised about big payouts and risky moves

Paris also points out that in 2021, the executors paid themselves $10 million—more than double what she and her siblings received.
She's worried about some high-stakes decisions too, like putting money into a biopic called "Michael."
The estate's management has faced questions ever since Michael Jackson passed away in 2009.
The executors say they've worked hard to turn things around after inheriting a lot of debt.
