    TMZ smiley-laughing014.gif<br /><br /><br />93 million huh?    "Phillips told MJ he thought it was ridiculous to blow his wad on the property." <br /><br /><br />...is this Phillips "subtle way" of stating how much MJ would have made from the tour?  :suspect:<br /><br /><br />I guess Michael had much bigger plans.  :icon_e_wink:

    $500 million/year from the music catalog=broke, I wanna be MJ style broke too.
  • I think Michael wants the world to understand what the 2003 accusations and then the trial did to his and his children's life.  Because of the police raid(s) on Neverland, and the allegations themselves, Michael couldn't bring himself to live in Neverland anymore.  He also was in fear for his life right after the trial so he needed to get out of the country.  So, Michael and his children did not have a place to call home from 2005 until 6/25/2009, "Phillips said a tearful Jackson told him his 3 kids were living "like vagabonds" -- shuttling from a Las Vegas rental to the Bel Air Hotel in L.A." He wants this understood by the world........ In my opinion.........

    <br /><br />If this is true then it explains Dr. Murrays recollection in his documentary when he recounted Randy Phillips coming to the house and having a rant about Michael ending up on skid row and left with nothing if he didn't go through with the concerts. It was because Michael had already planted the seed of being so broke and homeless when they met each other 2008.<br /><br />What I don't understand is why he didn't just sell Neverland and buy a new home? Or like many have said use some of the millions from the catalogue income.  If this was October 2008, when did foreclosure on Neverland get threatened?
