Overview
- Paris Jackson filed a refocused objection on Nov. 18 seeking to disallow the estate’s 2021 accounting and compel additional records after beneficiaries received that report only in September 2025.
- Her filing alleges the co‑executors took more than $10 million in compensation for 2021 and about $148.2 million in total through 2021.
- She claims roughly $464 million sat in cash earning under 0.1 percent, estimating about $41 million in forgone returns if it had been prudently invested.
- The objection criticizes what she calls conflicted, higher‑risk entertainment bets, pointing to the upcoming biopic Michael where executor John Branca is listed as an executive producer.
- The estate disputes the claims as baseless, cites court‑approved transactions and distributions including roughly $65 million to Paris, notes a recent anti‑SLAPP ruling that struck much of an earlier petition, and awaits the Jan. 13, 2026 hearing.
