Paris Jackson net worth: How rich is Michael Jackson’s daughter as she seeks $600 million from father's estate after 17 years?

Paris Jackson, the only daughter of Michael Jackson, is demanding a $600 million payout from her father’s estate, claiming the family trust intended to benefit his three children has been unfunded for more than 17 years. The 28-year-old actress and singer has gone to a Los Angeles court, claiming the estate has made billions of dollars since her father’s passing but has not distributed the money as intended.

What is Paris Jackson's net worth?

As of October 2026, Paris Jackson's net worth is estimated at $150 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. She has made a lot of money through her entertainment career and also received some financial benefits of her father’s estate.

She has forged a career on her own as a model, actress and musician. In 2017, Paris signed with IMG Models and has been featured in fashion campaigns. She has appeared in the movie Gringo and the television series American Horror Stories. She also took up music and released her debut solo album, Wilted in 2020 and Happiest Day of My Life in 2026.


But much of her financial situation is tied up in Michael Jackson’s estate. Celebrity Net Worth estimates she has already received around $65 million in financial benefits, including distributions, living expenses and assets tied to trusts.

Why Paris Jackson Wants $600 Million?

Paris filed a petition on October 29 asking a Los Angeles judge to direct the estate to transfer $600 million, or another amount deemed appropriate, to the Michael Jackson Family Trust, according to a report by People.

The trust was set up for Paris and her brothers Prince and Bigi Jackson. The children would start receiving income from their shares at age 21 and portions of the principal at 30, 35 and 40, the filing stated.

The estate has made a good deal of money but the trust has not yet been funded, Paris says. Her lawyers have cited large financial transactions such as the sale of the estate’s stake in EMI Music Publishing for $287.5 million, the sale of Neverland Ranch for $22 million, and the 2023 Sony deal involving Michael’s music and intellectual property.

The petition claims the transactions totaled more than $1 billion before taxes and expenses. It also cites an estate accounting showing roughly $850 million in cash and cash-equivalent assets as of December 2024.

What does Michael Jackson's estate say?

The estate has fought Paris’ demands, stating that active legal entanglements, including an ongoing dispute with the Internal Revenue Service, have left it unable to fully fund the trusts.

The IRS wanted to collect $700 million in taxes and penalties, but the estate said it got a ruling that greatly lowered the amount.

It denied withholding or cutting payments to beneficiaries, saying such claims were “a complete fabrication.” In a statement to People, the estate said more than $200 million has already been distributed for the children’s benefit.

Paris’ latest petition is part of a long-running dispute over the handling of her father’s estate. She wants a Los Angeles judge to hear her request on December 4.
