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.http://www.usatoday.com/life/music/news/2010-06-25-michaeljackson25_CV_N.htm
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.
