Michael Jackson’s daughter Paris Jackson Attacks the Executors of Her Late Father’s Property

Paris Jackson is “concerned” that the executors of her late father Michael Jackson’s estate are abusing their power to “enrich” themselves.

Concerned about the estate’s accounting for the 2021 calendar year, which she and her siblings Prince, 28, and 23-year-old Bigi just received in September of this year, the 27-year-old singer filed a fresh court filing in her battle with John Branca and John McClain.

Paris expressed concern about the “enormous sums of cash” that the co-executors have not invested and expressed concern that their business choices may not be optimal for the estate, of which she and her siblings are beneficiaries, according to records that People magazine was able to access.

The document read: “Paris is increasingly concerned that John Branca is using the Estate to enrich and expand himself instead of serving the best interests of the beneficiaries and steadfastly preserving her father’s legacy.”

The executors allegedly stole almost $10 million from the estate in 2021 alone, Paris claimed, “more than double the amount distributed to any beneficiary from the family allowance.”

She calculated that they will receive $148.2 million in total compensation from Michael’s death in 2009 to 2021, which “dwarfs any amount distributed to Paris or her siblings.”

The Star actress said that McCain and Branca were hoarding about $464 million in cash, with gains of less than 0.1% as a result of “unproductive investments and believes there has been a missed profit of around $41 million if the sum had been invested properly.”

Concerns around investing in “risky” entertainment projects without the requisite industry experience are also raised by the filing. One such project is the planned biopic of her father, Michael, for which Branca is executive producer and has chosen Miles Teller to play him.

“[The estate has] transformed into a private entertainment investment fund managed more for the benefit of Executors and their counsel than its beneficiaries,” according to the filings.

Accounting for the years since 2021 has not yet been revealed and Paris believes they have been delayed to keep the estate open “indefinitely” and continue to pursue.

Paris’ legal effort was deemed “misguided” by insiders.

“This is another misguided attempt by Paris Jackson’s attorneys to provide themselves cover,” a person close to the estate told People.

The truth is that Paris Jackson’s attorneys lost their most recent battle against the Estate and were mandated to cover the costs of the Estate’s legal team. The Estate takes good care of all the beneficiaries. This is a feeble effort to alter the story of their loss.

After the Thriller hitmaker passed away with $500 million in debt, the executors filed a motion in October claiming Paris had benefited from the estate to the tune of about $65 million. They also insisted that they had taken the struggling estate and made it a “powerhouse and a force in the music business.”

In a prior statement, Branca and McCain maintained that Paris’ claim that they had paid $625,000 in gifts and gratuities to three separate law firms was “knowingly false.”

Paris requests that the court reject the 2021 account and mandate that the executors create and submit an account that is grounded in their “true acts.” 

A hearing on the lawsuit is slated for 13 January, 2026.
