Overview
- Paris Jackson filed an objection in Los Angeles on Nov. 18 targeting the estate’s 2021 accounting, which she and her brothers received only in September.
- Her filing claims the executors took more than $10 million in 2021 and pegs their total compensation at an estimated $148.2 million through 2021.
- She alleges over $464 million in cash has been left in low-yield accounts earning under 0.1%, saying prudent investments could have produced about $41 million.
- The objection criticizes spending on what she calls risky entertainment ventures, including the Michael biopic where executor John Branca serves as an executive producer.
- A source close to the estate called the claims misguided, noting the estate’s recent anti‑SLAPP win and fee request, while a hearing on the new objection is set for Jan. 13, 2026.
