Both before and after michaels death? I heard somewhere that they just lived off of MJ's money and when he cut someone out of the family from receiving it they & their children had to go work at wal mart or something.
Are all the Jacksons(bar Janet) & their offspring living off MJ's royalties?

These days, Randy function more like a solider within the family. He was the one that saved LaToya from her abusive husband and well as the once that hired bodyguards for Michael before & during the trial.

Randy was also the original webmaster of Michael's first website.

^Who makes the most money? Marlon?

Randy was Mike's manager for a while, right?

Yep, and apparently tried to get Michael to sign away the Sony/ATV catalog

What was in it for him to do that?

Singer says his brother and pal tried to cheat him out of fortune

Michael Jackson claims he was nearly swindled out of his fortune during his
kiddie-sex trial and only the wise counsel of the Rev. Jesse Jackson and
billionaire Ron Burkle saved him.

The behind-the-scenes battle over the pop star's finances is detailed in a
sworn deposition he gave for a federal lawsuit scheduled to go to trial this
week.

There is a possibility that Jackson himself might even be called to testify.

The seven hours of transcripts obtained by the Daily News reveal that the
agitated entertainer was convinced his money woes were fueled by a cadre of
disloyal advisers who stole from him while he was busy fighting criminal
charges.

The Gloved One even fingered a man close to his older brother Randy as a key
villain.

It was an ordeal that left Jackson bitter about the industry in which he's
spent his entire life.

"It's full of sharks, charlatans and imposters," he said in testimony taken
last summer in Paris.

"Because there's a lot of money involved, there's a bunch of schmucks in
there," Jackson said. "It's the entertainment world, full of thieves and
crooks. That's not new. Everybody knows that."

A Santa Maria, Calif., jury acquitted him of child molestation charges in
June 2005, after which he retreated into the seclusion of his Neverland
ranch.

But during breaks in the trial, Jackson says he was being pressured to sign
off on a multimillion-dollar financing deal by Don Stabler, an associate
brought in by brother Randy, his go-to guy on financial matters during much
of his career.

Jackson initially took a liking to Stabler after Randy introduced them.

"He reminded me of people that live in mid-America like Indiana," Jackson
testified.

Stabler was persistent, at one point during the trial sending a message
through one of Jackson's Nation of Islam security guards that questioned the
singer's faithfulness to his African-American heritage.

It was a sore point for someone who has denied he purposely lightened his
skin.

By then, Jackson had turned to Burkle, the billionaire pal of former
President Bill Clinton, for financial help. Burkle brought in Jesse Jackson,
who's known Michael Jackson since his Jackson 5 days, to help with the
consultation.

Burkle was calling him on the cell phone during bathroom breaks, warning him
not to sign anything, Michael Jackson said.

Stabler wasn't happy, Jackson said.

"[Stabler] said, 'What's the problem? You're not down, you're with the Jews
now. You're not down with blacks anymore,'" Jackson testified.

"It was unkind," Jackson added. "It was mean. It was meanspirited. It was
nasty. Simply because he couldn't get me to sign something that he wanted me
to sign."

The next time Jackson saw Stabler "he wanted to take my head off." And his
brother Randy wasn't too happy, either.

Randy later claimed that Jackson and his staff had run up a $700,000 bill on
his American Express card during the trial, which Jackson said he would
repay.

It wasn't the first time that Stabler teamed with Randy in trying to get him
to sign off on a deal, Jackson claimed.

At a meeting in a bungalow at the Neverland ranch, Jackson said he had his
mother at his side when he fought off another proposal.

"And I vehemently told them, 'No, I am not signing this,'" Jackson recalled.
"And I just remember how angry, the intensity of the anger in the room. And
so they marched out."

Jackson made his comments when he was grilled by lawyers for the Hackensack,
N.J., finance company that is suing the singer in Manhattan Federal Court.
The firm, Prescient Acquisition, is owned by businessman Darien Dash, who
claims Jackson stiffed his company out of $48 million.

According to Dash's lawyer Steven Altman, Dash was due the money for helping
Jackson refinance a $272 million bank loan and secure $573 million in
financing to buy out Sony's half of the Beatles' song catalogue that Jackson
co-owned.

But Jackson claimed he's never heard of Dash, a cousin of hip-hop impresario
Damon Dash, and doesn't remember signing any agreement.

The Gloved One even fingered a man close to his older brother Randy as a key
villain.

I'm sorry but that line had me cracking up!!!!!

Here's an article about it



When he was manager, the State of California had to step in and issue a "No Work Order" because he didn't pay payroll and Workmen's Comp taxes for Neverland employees

where does it say he supported all his siblings and their kids? also the story about janet paying the employees was in the media, im not saying its true but it was out there. i dont understand why fans are mad even if he did support his own blood, but didnt say nothing when he was supporting all types of random people, including the families that accused him of molesting kids.
