Michael Jackson Estate Wins $600M Sony Sale Ruling
Aug 21, 2024, 11:44 PM
The estate of Michael Jackson has won a legal ruling approving a $600 million sale of his catalog to Sony. This decision comes despite objections from Jackson's mother, Katherine Jackson, who challenged the sale in court. An appellate panel found that she had no basis to contest a lower court's approval of the deal. The ruling marks a significant development in the ongoing legal battles surrounding the late pop star's estate.
