Is Janet Jackson Broke?

Why is she leading the charge on questioning her brother's estate? Doesn't it say whoever contests the will gets cut out?

What happened to all her money?

by Anonymousreply 56July 4, 2021 3:09 PM

Jackson Family Fuckery 2012:

There is a rumor that Randy is holding some major dirt right over Janet's head. He will sell the dirt to the highest bidder if she does not play along with things.

In regard to the rumor think of a family tree with a small and almost forgotten branch which barely forks.

In terms of Janet Jackson's wealth:

She works like a dog and does not really live high on the hog, eh? I doubt she is flat stone broke.

Randy thinks there's anyone left who doesn't know that Rebbie is raising Janet's kid ?? He'll get about a dime for that 'dirt'.

She's not only broke, but FAT!

And she hasn't done anything noteworthy in more than a decade...

One theory is that she doesn't want to spend the rest of her life supporting her loser brothers and their babymammas.(Randy owes $500K in child support and Jermaine couldn't renew his passport -- and was stuck in Malawi earlier this year -- because he owed $100K or so.) MJ's estate can provide a new cash flow for them.

She spent all her money on Ester Rolle's psychic phone lines

Janet is worth $100 million and is far from broke. However, she does not want the gravy train that is Michael's estate to stop supporting the rest of the family (which they are through Katherine's income from her share) because then the brothers will be hitting her up for dough. She doesn't want that.

Randy and Jermaine's back child support was quietly paid by the estate at Katherine's request a few weeks ago. Michael knew his mother could never say no to Joe or his brothers, so he left her 40% of the trust for her lifetime. The trustees have wide latitude to give her as much money as she requests for her "support", so she will continue to secure as much as she can for the family. Once she dies, the remaining principal goes to his kids.

The whole drama is nothing more than business as usual for the Jacksons. They have always been greedy and all about the dollars.

I wish they would ban the fat troll. I mean a 'mo is a 'mo but she can't help it if she's fat

I asked for this thread to be created weeks ago so that Janet troll and fat/broke Janet troll could go back and forth without clogging the other threads. Better late than never, I suppose.

PS. When did Janet have a kid??

Do you think a "mo" can 'help' being a "mo," R8?

People have more control over their flab than their sexual orientation.

Randy and one of the other brothers (Jermaine? Tito?) were married to the same woman. Said woman lived in one of the Jackson houses, and they finally bought her a condo to get her out. But, the juicy tidbit is that she might also be Blanket's mother, which is just too weird, even for the Jacksons. She has two kids each by the two admittedly-fathered brothers, and if she is Blanket's mama too...

But R7 hit the nail on the head; that's why Janet signed the letter. God, what a mess of a family.

I thought it was because she's a big ol' has-been and no one wants to buy her records.

She and Madonna should tour together and call it "The Baby Jane Tour".

Janet has the most legal resources available to fight the executors, who are just as suspicious as Michael's siblings. John Branca became Michael's attorney again right before he died, like he knew in advanced. Janet has a long history with John McClain. So if she thinks he is up to no good, its justified.

Janet has taken great measures to NOT be involved in Michael's mess of life whenever she could. She has put her entire reputation on the line for this, so she must have a really good reason.

I dont blame her for trying to grab on to any dollars she can from Michael's estate for her brothers. Michael obviously didnt think much of Janet. He was probably envious that she was never broke in her life. He knew she would feel like she had to support Randy and Jermaine and he didnt leave a dime to them.

Not true. If it were she would crawl out from what ever hole she is in and try to take custody of him in hopes that she could control his share of the estate

Oh my, where to begin. Again, what Janet "thinks" is of no value or interest to anyone. She is powerless. MJ made a will and it is being executed by HIS chosen executors.

So Branca has a crystal ball and "knew" MJ was gonna die? Really? He knew, but no one else did, huh? LOL. And what then? Knowing he was about to die he forced Michael to sign on with him? How would he do that exactly? You are an idiot.

Everyone in the known universe has a long history of observing this greedy, parasitic family in action. If the whole world thinks Janet and her brothers are "up to no good. It's justified."

Yes. Katherine gets 40%. If she dies before it is distributed, she gets nothing. Her senior-citizen children want her share NOW.

by Anonymousreply 22August 7, 2012 1:50 AM

She only gets the interest on 40%, not the principle.

I do know that Janet Jackson was caught by a paperboy hoarding coupon newspaper inserts in Sherman Oaks. But she may just be thrifty.

Janet Jackson is FAR from broke.

[italic]She signed TWO of the biggest record deals in history in the 1990s (the first was estimated between $32–50 million, and the second was a reported $80 million dollars)

She's sold over 100 million records worldwide

She's toured the world over since 1990

She's had endorsement deals and has done commercials, foreign and domestic

She part-owned an L.A. bank with Magic Johnson

She will gain control of her Virgin Records masters in 2013

She signed a film production deal with Lionsgate in 2011

She had a #1 NY Times Bestselling book in 2010

She's starred in several films (her first three films opened at #1 at the US box office)

She writes most of her own songs, many of which are covered and sampled today (royalty checks)

She made $60 million on tour in 2011

She has had real estate on both coasts, and has sold several of her homes for much more than she bought them for

She got $2 million for her #1 song "Doesn't Really Matter" from "The Nutty Professor 2" soundtrack in 2000

She has her own Beverly Hills-based production company

Forbes noted her as one of the top ten richest women in entertainment in 2007[/italic]

Janet Jackson is a brand. That is why BlackGlama wanted her to be the face of their LEGENDS ads for two consecutive years in a row, following in the likes of such legendary divas as Babara Streisand, Cher, Diana Ross, Joan Crawford, Liz Taylor, Audrey Hepburn, Brigitte Bardot, Sophia Loren, etc. She wrote the blueprint for every dance diva out today. That is her musical legacy. She is also good with her money. She's not a drug addict, nor is she a known squanderer of money (like so many of her contemporaries proved to be). And that is why she is PAID, and will NEVER be broke. And ye shall deal.

Oh, and she is also nowhere close to fat, as many recent photos of her at various events prove (amfAR, NYC art exhibit opening, etc.)

R31 Obviously only knows broke people. Your skill and aptitude with money can be a talent, learned skill or the product of hiring the right specialists. It is not determined by race or education level; some of the worst people with money I know are educated and appear affluent until you see them rushing out to buy the latest gadget/toy and up to their nose in mortgage, rent or education-related debt.

by Anonymousreply 36August 9, 2012 2:40 PM

Janet doesn't have the right to question Michael's will. Or any one else's. That's the whole reason wills exist....so grasping, greedy relatives, friends and random strangers don't try to "question your intentions" so they can get their slimy mitts on your money after you've passed.

Where is Michael's video taped will with him holding up a newspaper to verify the date (like a hostage)? You know there must be one.

It definitely wasn’t HERS.

How could she be broke that’s really silly to think! She’s one of the most successful recording artists of all time. It’s not like she’s had a drug habit like Whitney to spend her money on or like she’s lived a glamorous life just throwing money at a hedonistic lifestyle.

If anything, she probably has more money than she would have given she was living with that billionaire Arab dude for years, she probably just invested her money in those years, perhaps in the Middle East and made a fortune!

by Anonymousreply 46August 25, 2020 3:16 PM

R46, she's not broke but never say never. Her brother's estate is worth a lot now that he's dead, but when he died he was cash poor and only a few years away from having to sell his more lucrative investments (like the Beatles catalog).

Apparently Kmart have just stopped selling her clothing line which was designed for grossly obese people.

That's gotta hurt financially and she doesn't have that much money.

I hear her reputation is so damaged for being lazy and non-economic in the music industry because of poor sales and cancelled concerts that she can't get anyone to sign her now. So if she wants to release another album or do concerts (which she always cancels) then she has to bankroll them herself. She doesn't have the cash.

by Anonymousreply 55April 2, 2021 9:06 AM

See the thread on her online junk sale. She's broke and down to her last dollar.
