Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson, without a doubt, is one of the biggest superstars in the entire history of music. He did not make his fortune by slacking off. After his death in 2009, there was some controversy about his real net worth. The figures were estimated to be as much as $500 million. Even after his passing, his estate continued to make millions with album sales, TV specials, and other deals. In 2019, he even made $75 million. His kids received $5 million, which they are meant to divide amongst themselves, as well as an annual allowance worth $8 million. Major expenses, which include lavish holidays and tuition fees, are already covered. They might be young, but Prince, Blanket, and Paris are already made for life!

Bill Gates

Bill Gates has a net worth of $90 billion. While this is a jaw-dropping sum of money, the co-founder of Microsoft plans to teach his children the value of hard work in the old-fashioned way. He shut down the idea that Phoebe, Rory, and Jennifer are going to get $10 million each when he dies: “They won’t have anything like that. They need to have a sense that their own is meaningful and important. You’ve got to make sure they have a sense of their own ability and what they’re going to go and do.” However, he does plan to help their future he is still alive and kicking by investing in their education. He has stayed firm that he will not support them after that and even explained, “It’s not a favor to kids to have them have huge sums of wealth. It distorts anything they might do, creating their own path.” He and Melissa, his wife, plan to donate their money to a number of charities in the future.
