Talk:Michael Jackson's finances

Liabilities
I heard in some report on Jackson's finances that his liabilities are estimated at $700 million. There's no way with the way his career is going and has been over the past several years that he is going to be able to afford that. His best bet would be to try to secure a huge sum of money from a sponsor to perform a world tour. ABBA for instance were offered $1 billion to perform a 100 concert schedule world tour back in 2000 - which they declined. Jackson is bigger than any other artist in history, with Thriller's sales officially confirmed at 55 million world-wide, I'm pretty sure if Jackson was willing to do it, he could be offered a similar sum of money to tour.
