Why Paris Jackson is trending

On October 29, 2026, Paris asked a Los Angeles court for about $600 million from the estate into the Michael Jackson Family Trust for her and her brothers, saying the trust remained unfunded more than 17 years after Michael Jackson's 2009 death (People; Page Six).

Page Six on November 5 reported that Judge Brenda J. Penny (orders dated Nov. 4) sealed limited executor fee and accounting material at John Branca's request, finding disclosure could prejudice pending matters. The sealing was unopposed and was not a ruling on the $600M ask; People reported a Dec. 4 hearing on that petition (Page Six; People). An estate spokesperson told Page Six more than $200 million had already gone to or for beneficiaries and that IRS litigation blocked full funding, calling withheld-payment claims a "complete fabrication" (Page Six).
