As one of the most talked-about figures, Blanket Jackson has built a significant fortune. In this article, we dive deep into the assets and career highlights.

What Is Blanket Jackson's Net Worth?

Blanket Jackson, also known as Bigi Jackson, has a net worth of $150 million. Blanket Jackson is the third child of the late musical legendMichael Jackson. He has two older half-siblings, Paris Jackson and Prince Michael Jackson. Blanket is the child who was infamously held over a balcony by Michael in Berlin in 2002, when he was just eight months old. Bigi was an associate producer on the 2013 film "Kingdom Come." He changed his name from Blanket to Bigi in 2015.

At the time of Michael's death in 2009, his estate was technically in debt to the tune of $500 million. Over the ensuing years, his estate lawyers, led byJohn Brancaand John McClaine, performed a miraculous financial comeback that has generated over $2 billion. For example, in 2016, they sold Michael's 50% share in the famed Sony/ATV music catalog, which owns most of the Beatles' biggest hits among many, many other tracks, for $750 million. In February 2024, they sold a 50% stake inMichael's Mijac Music company for $600 million. That catalog owns Michael's own tracks, as well as thousands of other songs from artists like Sly and the Family Stone andRay Charles. Primary Wave Music maintained a 10% stake before and after this sale. An estimated 15% of the sale will go to Michael's estate executors, leaving the estate to split proceeds of roughly $500 million after all costs. Before taxes, $500 million would presumably be split up as:

According to the terms of Michael's will, he left a 40% interest in his estate to his mother. He left 40% to his three children. The remaining 20% was left to various children's charities. Upon Katherine's death, her 40% will go to Paris, Prince Michael, and Blanket, eventually giving them 80%, or 26.7% each.

Bigi's godmother was the lateElizabeth Taylor, andMacaulay Culkinis his godfather. Jackson was just 7 years old when he lost his father in June 2009. Michael's children spoke at his funeral, and they accepted his posthumous Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2010 Grammy Awards. Michael's mother,Katherine Jackson, took custody of all three children in accordance with Jackson's wishes that his mother be the permanent guardian of his children. Be that as it may, in 2012, Katherine declared that she intended to share custody of the children with their older cousin, TJ Jackson. In 2017, Katherine (who was 87 at the time) stated her intention to let TJ have full custody of 15-year-old Bigi, the only Jackson child who was still a minor.

Furthermore, each heir would be left with the following paper stakes in 50% of a catalog valued at $1.2 billion:

In October 2025, court filings related to a lawsuit brought by Paris Jackson against the executors of Michael Jackson's estate revealed thatshe had received an estimated $65 millionin benefits since 2009. While Bigi (formerly known as Blanket) did not participate in the case, he holds an identical 13% stake in the estate, and it's presumed he has received a similar amount. Michael's will split 40% of his estate between his three children, 40% to his mother, Katherine, and 20% to charity. Based on the $65 million figure per child, observers estimate the estate has distributed around $500 million to date—an extraordinary turnaround from the more than $500 million in debt it faced at the time of Michael's death. Eventually, Bigi's share will grow to 26.7% once Katherine's portion is transferred to the children. The legal dispute offered a rare window into the estate's inner workings and the vast wealth it has already generated for Michael Jackson's heirs.

In summary, the total wealth of Blanket Jackson reflects strategic moves.
