MJ Advisor: Michael Was Killed For Music Catalogue
One of Michael Jackson’s former advisors, Leonard Rowe, says that Michael Jackson shared with him that he feared that he would be murdered for his extensive music catalogue worth an estimated $1 billion.
According to Radaronline.com:
In an exclusive interview with RadarOnline.com, the King of Pop’s longtime friend and sometime financial advisor made the explosive claim, recalling that Jackson once told him: “They want my catalogue Rowe — and they will kill me for it.”
Rowe did not name who he is suggesting “murdered” Jackson, who had lethal doses of the powerful anesthetic Propofol in his body when he died.
While Jackson died with cash flow problems after blowing the profits from sales of $750 million records on extravagances, the superstar made one brilliant financial move.
In 1985, Jackson paid $47.5 million to buy the publishing catalog.
Ten years later, Sony paid Jackson $150 million for half the rights, forming a joint venture called Sony/ATV.
Today, Jackson’s half is valued at a minimum of $1 billion.
“Michael always felt he would be killed for his catalogue,” Rowe, a close confidante of family patriarchJoe Jackson, told RadarOnline.com.
“When he was speaking about it, I paid him no attention but as the latest events have unfolded, I couldn’t help but think about his statement — and it still haunts me today.” Rowe told RadarOnline.com.
