It's events like this that make me wanna believe in God, if only to prove that Faustian deals actually do exist.

I suppose the world will have to see what type of estate planning was in place.

What's left of it. He did own the rights to all the Beatles songs but I read that that had been heavily mortgaged several times.

Cosmetic surgery is expensive, after all.

i believe that he made a deal with mtv; exclusives on his videos in exchange for always being referred to as said "king."

(a lot of good it does him now, sadly)

I heard that Jackson's annual income was $19 million of which $6 million came from his Sony record portfolio, and a fair amount of the remaining $13 million from royalties and other categories of passive income. His financial troubles were primarily the result of his personal spending habits. Now that he's gone, the personal spending naturally ceases, and his estate has a chance of developing a huge value over the next few years. Also bear in mind that record sales and sales of Jackson memorabilia will skyrocket for quite some time.

Remember; Elvis was far wealthier in 1987 than he was in 1977.

FF didn't have that great a set of tits, IIRC. Looked like a "B" cup with a couple of perky nipples at best.
