Who’s the richest Jackson? – Paris Jackson, Jackson’s eldest child, received a head start in life thanks to her inheritance, but she has made her own money through music and acting projects such as American Horror Stories.
MJ’s youngest son, Bigi, changed his childhood nickname from “Blanket” to “Bigi” and celebrated his 18th birthday by purchasing a US$2 million mansion.
The Jacksons are undoubtedly the most iconic family in music history. From the old-school days of the Jackson 5 to the legendary solo careers of Michael and Janet, the famous surname sure has been lucrative for the entire clan.
So who is making their own millions, who is living off Michael’s wealth and whose bank account looks a little more humble? Here’s how much the Jackson family are worth in 2021.
Janet Jackson, 55
Net worth: US$190 million
Contrary to internet rumours, Janet is not a billionaire. She was previously married to billionaire businessman Wissam Al Mana, a Qatari retail tycoon, but they split in 2017 soon after the birth of their son, Eissa. At the time, it was widely speculated that Janet was in a battle with Al Mana over US$250 million in alimony.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, after a career spanning four decades and selling over 185 million records, Janet is now worth an estimated US$190 million. Not bad for a single mum who only works when she wants to.
Michael Jackson’s estate
Net worth: US$111 million
Since his untimely death in 2009, MJ’s estate has continued to rake in profits. At the time of his death, he was worth around US$500 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth, and in 2018, his earnings reportedly reached US$825 million. In May 2021, a judge ruled that Michael’s estate was worth US$111 million.
In his will, MJ left 40 percent of his assets to his three children, to be split equally. Twenty per cent of his wealth was left to multiple children’s charities and the 40 per cent that was left all went to his mother, Katherine.
Katherine Jackson, 91
Net worth: US$100 million
Thanks to MJ’s generous will, Katherine inherited 40 per cent of his estate and is reportedly worth a whopping US$100 million. Court documents suggest she is receiving a stipend of US$67,000 a month from the Michael Jackson estate, but that practically all of it goes to her children and grandchildren to cover their bills.

Michael’s daughter is making a name for herself in the entertainment industry, but her impressive net worth is still largely thanks to her inheritance.

In 2018, she formed the folk band The Soundflowers with Gabriel Glenn, and the duo released a self-titled EP in June 2020. She’s also started acting in recent years, starring in 2018 film Gringo and 2021’s American Horror Stories series.

MJ’s eldest son has largely remained out of the spotlight and has been pretty drama-free, as far as the Jacksons go.
He dabbled in showbiz work in 2013 as a reporter for Entertainment Tonight, and acted in the 90210 reboot the same year. He graduated cum laude from Loyola Marymount University with a business degree in 2019.
Bigi (Blanket) Jackson, 19
Net worth: US$100 million
Like his older brother, Prince Michael Jackson II has generally stayed out of the spotlight. In recent years, Blanket appears to have undergone somewhat of a reinvention, ditching his famous childhood nickname and adopting the name “Bigi”.
Last year, it was revealed he had bought himself his first house – a fancy US$2 million mansion in Calabasas, California – when he turned 18.
Jermaine Jackson, 66
Net worth: US$5 million
