Michael Jackson’s Estate And Sony Music Shake On $250M Recording Deal
Michael Jackson has secured the largest recording deal in the history of the business and there are two winners in the equation. Michael Jackson’s estate will net easily $200 million out of the deal, and Sony wins because they will get nine albums out of the deal. The Washington Post thinks its ten albums, which is simply astounding. Despite already having around a dozen albums to his name, MJ kept writing and recording songs during all of the legal, financial and medical matters during the last years of his life. You must remember he hadn’t released an album since Invincible (aside from This Is It) so it will be interesting to see what happens. This will also mean he will eventually have 20 albums to his name.
Sony has noted that a new record is scheduled to be released this November.
I am totally delighted to hear that MJ's estate signed big contract with Sony for his music, which is worth it. Can't wait to hear his new music and buy it. I listen to MJ all the time, just can't get enough of his songs and videos. Am glad his money is going to his kids and not into the greedy hands of his freeloading family. MJ loved his kids and they love him. Let them enjoy the money and maybe give some to charity, like their father.
Amazing! Another confirmation that he was and still is popular!
