Michael Jackson’s estate has
generated $310 million in revenue
from album sales, a film, merchan­
dising and other products since the
singer died in 2009, according to
court papers filed on Thursday.
His estate’s administrators have
used $159 million to pay down the
pop star's debt, which when Jack-
son died amounted to more than
$400 million, court records show.
"Although there remain unre­
solved creditor claims, pending liti­
gation and additional challenging
business, tax and legal issues, and
the estate is not yet in a condition to
be closed, the executors have made
substantial progress in reducing the
estate's debt,’’ the documents state.
Beneficiaries of the estate are
Jackson's children, his mother and
and “G od The H oly S p irit”
