Michael Jackson: Only One Member of the Jackson 5 Gets Money From His Estate

Michael Jackson did not leave any of his estate to his siblings, as you know. All of it went to his mother and his children.

This has been a vexing problem especially for his brothers. Jermaine, Tito, Marlon, and Jackie were in the Jackson 5 but reap little reward from it. Randy Jackson was not in the group, briefly worked as Michael’s manager, and caused a lot of problems. (Let’s not rehash all that now.)

One of the four of the Jackson 5, however, is on the books of the Estate. Jackie Jackson receives a monthly stipend from Michael’s estate. Every thirty days Jackie gets a check for $6,033, sent to his company called Siggy Music. He’s been getting this since at least December 2011.

Jackie is a nice guy, and no one begrudges him anything. He made many appearances in court in 2005 to show support for Michael. I’m told he’s on the books as a liaison between the Estate and the brothers.

Meantime, sources say Marlon Jackson is trying to make friends in Qatar, the same country where his sister Janet lives. Janet is married to wealthy Qatari businessman Wissam Al Mana. The Jacksons love wealthy Arabs, that’s for sure!
