Quincy Jones Claims Michael Jackson Estate Owes Him Millions

Quincy Jones is in court this week, claiming that Michael Jackson’s estate owes him $30 million in back royalties. The legendary record producer was behind some of the late pop icon’s greatest albums, including Off The Wall and Thriller. Variety reports that Jones and his attorneys claim that after Michael’s death in 2009, when the estate took control of the late King of Pop’s finances, royalties on the sale of MJ material surged but Jones did not benefit.“He hasn’t been adjusted as Michael was adjusted,” Jones’ attorney told the jury in Los Angeles Superior Court, according to Variety.Jones claims not only that he is owned money relating to his work on Off the Wall, Thriller and Bad, but also that he is due money from the profits of the posthumous concert documentary This Is It.
