According to Forbes, Jackson has generated so much revenue following his estate's decision to sell his half-share of the Beatles catalogue to Sony for $750 million. The star had purchased the rights to Beetle's music back in 1984 for $47.5 million and then sold 50 percent of it to Sony in 1995 for $115 million.
