Michael Jackson‘s mother, Katherine Jackson, has reportedly received a whooping sum of over $55M since her son’s death, according to his estate, amid legal war over estate funds with late pop star’s son Blanket.
This revelation comes after late King of Pop’s son, Blanket ‘Bigi’ Jackson, 22, filed legal papers hoping to block his grandmother from using estate funds amid an extended legal battle with the estate executors … maybe the heir is ‘on point’ to do so after all.

MJ’s estate have since filed legal documents in their dispute with Katherine, 93, over the cost of her attorney’s fees, which she wants the estate to cover.
Now the estate reveals that Katherine has gotten a large amount of cash and other benefits since Michael’s death in 2009, alleging it totals over $55 million in nearly 15 years, per TMZ.
The large chunk of the money comes from a monthly allowance that’s over $160k, and amounts to $33 million of the $55 million, according to the estate.
According to the outlet, the latest filing claims that Katherine is well taken care of by the estate, and that they have spent more than $15 million to buy and improve her luxury home, and have paid for her transportation, a private gardener, chef, and security.
The estate executors – Blanket ‘Bigi’ Johnson and his team believe that Katherine can afford to cover her own attorney’s fees in their legal dispute.
