Holy frickin’ crap! Michael Jackson’s three kids and his mom want over $40 billion from AEG Live for Jackson’s death.
Legal documents claim that the three kids, Prince, Paris and Blanket and Jackson’s mom, Katherine are taking legal action against the entertainment company for its ill-perceived and negligent hiring (as TMZ states it) of Dr. Conrad Murray.
In these documents, the kids claim they want $10 billion for the future earnings Jackson would have made if he was still living. They said they would also like an additional $50 million for various other damages.
AEG Live claims that the $40 billion request is crazy talk (our words) since Jackson’s career was on a downward spiral. It had been going downhill since the alleged child molestation charges as well as his self-imposed exile to the Middle East. They say the damage charges are based on speculation.
Do you think the kids and mom deserve the money? If not, how much should they get?
