Michael Jackson: Not For Sale (tv show on Ovation TV)

Michael Jackson: Not For Sale 
(tv show on Ovation TV)
 
Here is the auction page.

Quote from website:

This is the story of the public sale that nearly came to pass while the late King of Pop, Michael Jackson, was at the end of his financial rope.

Chronicling a time when Michael Jackson's prized belongings, from his iconic stage wardrobe to private collections of invaluable artwork, were prepped for auction in order to save him from what looked like certain bankruptcy, this program asks one of the age-old questions of art, How does one price the priceless?

We'll explore the root cause for the auction, how it was put together, and how and why it was ultimately stopped.

Michael Jackson TV, News Alerts One Year Later

The late Michael Jackson a billion-dollar man
Singer’s estate has generated at least $1 billion in revenues since his death

Michael Jackson's legacy: A year later, lots of questions 

7. What's the state of his estate?
When Jackson was alive, he was dead broke. Juggling massive debts while reveling in the lavish lifestyle of a pop sultan, he frustrated his accountants and creditors....

The estate has paid off 40% of Jackson's $500 million in debts, according to the Wall Street Journal, which reports that his mother's home in Encino, Calif., was set to enter foreclosure the day the singer died. A remaining $300 million loan, backed by Jackson's 50% share of Sony/ATV, must be paid or refinanced by year's end.

Perhaps Michael should have waited a year...
Because Steinbrenner died in a year when there is no federal estate tax, he  potentially saved his heirs a 55% estate tax on his assets — or a tax bill of about $600 million. The 55%  tax takes effect on January 1, 2011. If Steinbrenner had died in 2009 when the estate tax rate was 45%, his estate tax bill might have been nearer $500 million.
