Michael Jackson: Smooth Icons 2022, Net Worth 1990
On August 29, 1958, Michael Joseph Jackson was born in Gary, Indiana. In the Jackson family, a working-class African-American family residing in a two-bedroom home on Jackson Street, he was the eighth of ten children. His mother, Katherine Esther Jackson (née Scruse), was a clarinettist and pianist who also worked part-time at Sears and had aspirations of becoming a country and western performer.
Smooth Icons 2022:
In the fourth annual Smooth Icons countdown, Michael Jackson was chosen as the greatest musician of all time by Smooth Radio listeners and SmoothRadio.com readers, keeping the title he won in 2020 and 2021.
The poll received over 25,000 votes, with Michael defeating George Michael as the winner for 2019.
Queen was the highest-ranking ensemble, coming in at three, followed by Whitney Houston, the highest-ranking female solo artist, at four, and ABBA, at five.
Monday, August 29, saw the premiere of Smooth Icons on Smooth Radio following an online poll asking listeners to select their all-time favourite musicians.
Net Worth 1990:
Jackson missed making the Forbes 400 list of the wealthiest Americans in 1990 by $85 million. Only his terrible habit of accruing debt prevented his net worth from increasing by $105 million in just six years.
A insider insisted, “Michael had become lazy; he would never again be worth $40 billion.”
However, there is significant controversy around the source of that number. A Jackson family counsel claimed that the $40–42 billion in damages were never requested in the complaint, and a second Jackson family lawyer agreed.
Marvin Putnam, an attorney representing AEG, previously stated that the $40–42 billion in damages was indeed the sum proposed but did not respond to a request for additional comment.
