Paris Jackson accuses MJ estate of mismanagement, self-enrichment

Paris Jackson is challenging her father Michael Jackson’s management of the estate, issuing a new objection in a Los Angeles court on Tuesday.

The 27-year-old said that the managers of the houses, John Branca and John Mancaa, misused their power and benefited financially by delaying transparency.

According to the filing, Paris and her brothers – the prince, 28, and Bini, did not receive the basic calculation in 2021 until September, about four years. It raises concerns about what it calls too much money “intangible and beyond the control of regulators.”

“Paris is increasingly concerned about the estate of John Branca to develop and try the best interests of the beneficiaries and the benefit of her father’s legacy.

A close source dismissed the claim, saying, “This is another misguided attempt by Paris Jackson’s lawyers to take care of themselves in the building. This is a weak attempt to change the story.

Paris indicated that executives collected more than $10 million in compensation in 2021 alone — “more than double” what each beneficiary received that year. It estimates total executive compensation through 2021 at $148.2 million.

She also said that more than $ 464 million in cash is in the accounts “less than 0.1%,” arguing that smart investment can create almost $ 41 million.

Her portfolio consists of those involved with the company’s “high-risk” ventures, including the upcoming biopic Michael, where Branca serves as an executive producer.

It claims that the assets will be “morphed into a Private Commercial Entertainment Investment Fund managed for the benefit of the people and their advice to the beneficiaries.”

Paris is asking the court to reject the current accounts and force a full, corrected version. A hearing is scheduled for Jan. 13, 2026.
