Jackson Family Broke

The New York Post took a close look into the Jackson family finances and found, the Jackson family is barely scraping by, with one brother stocking groceries, another repairing cars and others living at home with mom while hoping for sister Janet’s next handout.

Dad hustles various girl groups in Las Vegas. Mom is still a stay-at-home housewife and the only family member in contact with Michael. Both have previously filed for bankruptcy.

Janet Jackson, 41

The current family breadwinner. She bought her mom a Vegas home in anticipation of losing the family’s mansion, Hayvenhurst, to foreclosure. Like their Neverland colleagues, workers at Hayvenhurst have not been paid for months.

La Toya Jackson, 52

Family turncoat who declared Michael guilty during the 1993 molestation case, she earns a living mostly in Europe and in the UAE judging beauty and singing contests. She lives with a wealthy boyfriend in Beverly Hills and has little contact with her siblings.

Rebbie Jackson, 57

The oldest, she’s married to successful businessman Nathaniel Brown.

Tito Jackson, 55

Formed a blues band several years ago and plays at small venues for $500 to $1,500 a gig.

Michael Jackson, 49

On the verge of losing Neverland ranch as well as the family’s Encino, Calif., home. He’s hiding out in Las Vegas and repeatedly makes promises to his brothers while sabotaging any attempts by them to ply their musical trade.

Randy Jackson, 46

Does odd jobs like changing tires to support himself. He was Michael’s business manager during the 2005 molestation trial but ran into serious problems with friends after he persuaded three people to take out lines of credits against their homes to help Michael pay his attorney fees and Michael stiffed them.

Marlon Jackson, 51

Lives in San Diego, where he works stocking groceries at a Vons supermarket. He fell on hard times three years ago when he was forced to leave his foreclosed home and move into an Extended Stay America hotel with his wife, Carol.

Jackie Jackson, 56

The oldest son started an Internet clothing business and is trying to produce records by his sons. Nothing has panned out.

Jermaine Jackson, 54

Splits time between the parents’ Hayvenhurst mansion and his girlfriend’s home in the San Fernando Valley. With more than $5 million in federal, state and other liens against him and a 1995 bankruptcy filing, he doesn’t work or have a regular income.

The Jacksons had a chance to live incredible lives, but blew it all. It’s no wonder the Jackson family want to tour again together.

Michael Jackson Neverland Ranch Saved

Michael Jackson has made a last-minute deal to save his famous former home, Neverland ranch, just days before it was scheduled for public auction.

According to Jacko’s lawyer, L. Londell McMillan, the King of Pop worked out a "confidential" deal with Fortress Investment Group, which allows him to retain ownership of the combination house/amusement park in Los Olivos, California.

"Neverland and MJ are fine," McMillan said in a statement.

The 49-year-old singer owed $24.5 million in taxes on the 2,500-acre spread northwest of Santa Barbara, and the auction had been set for next Wednesday, March 19.

A source close to Michael said that it is not clear whether or not the singer, who has not actually lived at the ranch since being acquitted of child molestation charges in 2005, will keep the property or put it up for sale.

Michael Jackson Trespasser Arrested

A woman named Billie Jean Jackson was arrested for trespassing at Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch.

Santa Barbara County sheriff’s deputies were called to the house Monday night after Neverland’s security detained Billie Jean, 60, who has long claimed to be Michael’s wife.

She was arrested and booked at the Santa Barbara County Jail.

Whoever buys Neverland is going to have to deal with this crazy.

Michael Jackson When He Still Looked Normal

This is an old Japanese ad featuring Michael Jackson before his began his transformation into a freak. He totally showered in bleach after touching that girl, which is why he’s white now.

Michael Jackson Pays His Taxes

According to records in Santa Barbara County, Michael Jackson finally satisfied a state tax lien on his all-but-abandoned Neverland Valley Ranch in Los Olivos, California The total, according to the assessor’s office, came to just over $600,000, including penalties and fees.

The payment doesn’t cover the $23 million for which Jackson is still in default on loans he’s taken against Neverland. Fortress Investments is now two weeks past its foreclosure deadline, which means it could start proceedings against Jackson at any time.

Jackson, sources say, may have arranged for a time extension through his friend, Ron Burkle.

Michael still hasn’t decided if he will or will not attend the Grammy Awards this Sunday evening.
