Jackson's troubled financial legacy

– Alexander Smith is a Reuters columnist. The opinions expressed are
his own –Michael Jackson's will is bound to be as bizarre as the rest
of the singer's turbulent life. But one thing is for sure, the
arguments over his deeply flawed financial legacy will keep lawyers
busy for years.
Top of the list will be sorting out Jackson's sell-out comeback
tour,which was due to kick off next month. There are bound to be
losses, insurance claims and the prospect of an empty London O2 Arena
for 50 nights during the peak summer period.
Music industry bible Billboard reckons promoter AEG Live could lose as
much as $40 million if its insurance is insufficient to cover what has
already been spent on the production. That's assuming they have to
give refunds to the 750,000 fans who have paid big money for tickets.
And that doesn't count the cost of hotel reservations and flights from
across the world.
Then there's the small issue of the $500 million in debts that Jackson
is reported to have left behind.
Bizarrely, Sir Paul McCartney, the super-rich former Beatle, could be
one of the beneficiaries of Jackson's will. Reports earlier this year
said Jackson had left McCartney his stake in the Beatles' song
catalogue. But given that this share already has a $200 million loan
secured against it, there could be a few court hearings before the
former Beatle gets the songs back in his own collection.
Some estimate that Jackson's top assets, including copyrights to his
own songs and the Beatles song catalogue stake, are worth more than $1
billion.
No doubt Jackson's family, his creditors, and partners such as Los
Angeles-based real estate investment trust Colony Capital LLC and
music catalogue joint venture partner Sony Corp, will all be laying
claim to some of these assets.
The self-styled King of Pop's music will live on in his recordings,
but its a fair bet that the legacy of his high-spending lifestyle will
be around for a good few years too.
