MICHAEL JACKSON | SINGER | $500 MILLION

Michael Jackson was, to his credit, a world-renowned American entertainer. He is largely considered the ‘King of Pop’ and the one who popularized the iconic Moonwalk. He rose to fame when he became the lead vocalist of the band Jackson 5 at the age of 6. Michael Joseph Jackson was born on August 29, 1958. He grew up in Gary, Indiana, with his parents Joseph and Katherine as well as his nine siblings, including the equally astounding Janet Jackson.

He had 13 Grammy Awards, 39 Guinness World Records, and 26 American Music Awards, among many others. His album Thriller was the third best-selling album of all time and the first record to ever sell 30 million copies in the US. He kicked the bucket in 2009, but he was still able to collect a staggering $700 million, five years after he passed away. In 2021, his posthumous net worth is sitting at $500 million.
