They were Richer than you think… Now they're BROKE | The Jackson family Secrets

Hey were Richer than you think… Now they're BROKE | The Jackson family Secrets The Jackson family sold over 100 million records. So why is Jackie Jackson worth $200,000? This is the story of how the most famous musical family in history was systematically stripped of almost everything they earned — through a 2.8% royalty deal, a father who took his cut, and a brother who left them all behind. By the time Michael Jackson's estate was earning $825 million in a single year, the brothers who built his platform were fixing cars in garages and unable to pay child support. This video breaks down exactly how it happened — from the Gary, Indiana basement where Joe Jackson ran daily rehearsals, to the Motown contract that handed Berry Gordy the masters, to the moment Michael walked away from the Victory Tour and never looked back. The Jackson 5 were professionals before they were teenagers. Nobody taught them what to do when the music stopped. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 0:00 — Where Did The Money Go? 1:10 — The Question Nobody Asks 2:30 — Five Kids From Gary 4:15 — 2.8 Percent 6:20 — When Michael Left The Room 8:45 — The Will 10:00 — What They Were Left With 11:30 — The System That Eats Families 12:50 — The Catalogue Still Plays 🔔 Subscribe for new videos every week on celebrities who had it all — and lost it. 📺 Watch next: → Mike Tyson: He Made $300 Million… Then Lost Everything → Toni Braxton: She Was One of the Richest Stars… Now She's Broke #JacksonFamily #Jackson5 #CelebDownfall #MichaelJackson #BrokeAndFamous
