MICHAEL Jackson’s father Joe wants a monthly allowance from his tragic son’s estate.
The Jackson patriarch filed papers in L.A. County Superior Court Friday, claiming he’s “entitled to his own independent family allowance.”
In the documents, Leonard Rowe — who claims to have been Michael’s manager — says the King of Pop used to give his mother Katherine up to $60,000 a month to live on, and that Michael instructed her to give half of it to Joe.
Joe claims Michael’s estate has “earned more than $100 million dollars in the first seven weeks following Michael Jackson’s death” and is “well able to afford a family allowance for Joe Jackson.”
Joe says he spends $15,425 a month: $2,500 eating out; $2,000 for air travel; $3,000 for hotel bills; $1,000 for groceries; $1,200 for rent; and $50 in charitable contributions.
“The Special Administrators have been made aware that Joe Jackson filed papers asking to be paid a family allowance from the Estate,” Howard Weitzman, one of the attorneys the Special Administrators for Michael Jackson’s Estate, told TMZ. “It was quite surprising to learn of the request. Mr. Jackson’s Petition will be considered as are all requests for money from Michael’s Estate.”
Joe, 80, recently told US TV show Extra that his son — who died June 25 — is worth more dead than alive.
“He’s worth more dead than when he was alive,” he said. “I’d rather have him alive.”
