On June 25, 2009, Michael Jackson, who owned $1.34 billion in family property.
Having a heart attack, dying in Los Angeles, in an instant, fans around the world, plunged into extreme grief.
In 2022, thirteen years have passed since his death, what kind of life are his children living?
On the day of Jackson's death, the world called "Black Thursday," and from New York to Beijing, from Paris to Mumbai, countless people took to the streets to pay their final tribute to the legendary artist.
Aaron Kwok once said, "Michael Jackson is my only idol, my favorite artist."
Because Yi Qianxi liked him, he was even called "Jackson" in English, and Madonna praised him as "the only king in the history of human pop music, the eternal king of pop".
When his former best friend Kobe Bryant learned of his death, he said with tears in his eyes: "I am willing to exchange my championship ring for his life, begging God not to take Michael Jackson."
On July 7, 2009, Jackson's funeral was held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, USA.
The funeral was called by the New York Times "the grandest celebrity funeral in the history of the world."
And because the funeral was public, the location was limited. A total of 17,500 funeral tickets were posted on the platform, but at the time, more than 1.6 million people snatched them.
Later, each ticket was sold for more than ten thousand dollars on the auction website.
Jackson's public live funeral also became the grandest celebrity funeral in history.
More than 3 billion people participated in the memorial service in various ways, becoming the most watched mourning scene in history.
However, as many people as you love you, as many people as you want to destroy you.
Behind the infinite scenery, Jackson also endured an endless black abyss.
After Jackson's death, the pedophilia did not subside, nor did the rumors of black bleaching stop.
Even his children, after his death, were wronged.
Jackson was a black man, but all three of his children were white.
For this situation, the outside world is also talking about it.
And in the two years since Jackson's death, countless people have squeezed their scalps to claim one of the children.
It wasn't all about love for the kids, it was about seeing Jackson's huge legacy.
Before his death, Jackson stipulated that the child would inherit all of his family property when he was forty years old. And every year before that, they could share $ 8 million in living expenses.
After Michael Jackson's death, the eldest of the three children Jackson left behind was only 12 years old.
As the eldest son, Pryce was also forced to take on the responsibility of taking care of her younger siblings.
After living in the family for two months, he was taken to the care of the Ensigno estate by his grandmother.
Faced with the death of his father, Pryce, after returning to his grandmother's house, was difficult to accept for a long time, and he refused to accept all the information about his father Jackson.
Whether it was broadcast in the media or discussed by his family, he would turn away after hearing it.
Pres was Jackson's first child, and his mother was a dermatologist nurse Jackson knew, Debbie Rowe.
Debbie, a mixed German and Irishman with blonde hair and lake-blue eyes, had known Jackson for ten years and knew each other well.
Jackson, who was then, had just ended his 19-month marriage with Elvis Presley's daughter, Lisa Marie Presley.
The reason for the divorce was that Jackson wanted kids and Lisa wanted to develop a career.
Although the marriage did not last long, the people at that time left such a sentence: many years after Elvis Presley's death, the king of rock and roll and the king of pop finally became a family.
Debbie learns of this and tells Jackson that she is willing to have a baby for him.
When the child is born, she will relinquish custody as a mother and leave the child to Jackson to raise.
Jackson's care for his first child, Pryce, can be said to be meticulous.
When Pres was born, Jackson assigned him a special nursing team.
This nursing team consists of 6 nurses and 6 nannies, which is to ensure that Priss has two nurses and two nannies to take care of at any time.
Jackson also installed video surveillance in Prisse's room, allowing him to see Prisse's condition at any time.
To confirm that he was safe, a medical team was set up to assess the air quality in Prys's room.
In October 1999, Jackson and Debbie divorced by agreement, and Debbie kept her promise.
Left his two-year-old son and one-year-old daughter to Jackson.
Until The age of 6, Pres lived in Jackson's hugely funded Fantasy Estate.
The Dream Manor covers 2,800 acres and features $35 million in facilities, including private playgrounds, playgrounds, artificial lakes, cinemas and zoos.
It can be said to be the most luxurious mansion in the United States and even in the world.
Jackson had a great time here with the kids, but that all changed when Pryce was 6 years old.
In 2003, Jackson was mired in a pedophile affair when more than 80 police officers entered the estate and searched the estate.
Jackson felt that there was no longer a home here, and took the children out of the place to live in Beverly Hills, California.
At that time, only Pryce could remember, and he did not understand why a large group of people came to the house to rummage through boxes and cabinets, nor did he understand why his father suddenly moved.
Under the pressure of public opinion on the child prostitution incident, Jackson would protect them well every time he went out, carefully covering them with veils so that the outside world could not see them.
Because Jackson knows the power of public opinion, he doesn't want his children to be hurt.
Ironically, at Jackson's funeral, the world saw what the three children looked like.
Pris, who was only 12 years old at the time, did his best to remain calm, remembering his father's teachings to protect his younger siblings.
In this way, Pryce grew up without the care of his parents, and he inherited his mother's Debbie's appearance and skin color, and his good looks.
But as he grew older, he also gained weight for a time, lost Debbie's facial features, and did not look very much like Jackson.
Fortunately, Pryce also inherited his father's musical talent and had his own unique views on music.
While studying at the University of Marymont in Loyola, New York, Pris had become a producer and later founded a film and television company that is now in good working order.
Unfortunately, Pris inherited his father Jackson's vitiligo from an early age, so he went to the hospital regularly while running the company.
Fortunately, modern medicine is developed enough to make his condition well controlled.
Unlike Pryce, Jackson's daughter, Paris, is warmly nostalgic for her father.
To remember her father, she plastered posters of Jackson in her bedroom, watched videos of Jackson's previous interviews, and listened to all his albums.
Paris would sometimes wear her father's shirt so that she would feel that her father was still by her side.
Now she often looks at the videos her father took for her to reminisce about her childhood.
Paris's childhood was happy and complete, and before the age of 11, Paris was a carefree little princess living in a castle, and her father was everything to her.
Jackson once said that he had no childhood. So, he gave all his love to the children.
In contrast to Jackson's childhood, Little Paris was happy. Jackson was packaged by his father since he was a child, and in his childhood memories, in addition to performing on stage to make money, jackson was to accept countless scoldings from his father.
In an interview, Jackson once said: "I didn't have a normal childhood, no Christmas, no birthday, and no childhood happiness.
Even if I exchanged my childhood for career success, I paid a heavy price, and I could not reshape this life. ”
That's why he loves children, he wants to give them a perfect childhood.
When Paris was two years old, Jackson wrote a song called "You Are My Life" for her and Pryce, and he said that he regarded children as more important than life.
There is also a video of Jackson giving Paris before he died, in which Jackson asks, "What's your name?" ”
Paris tilted her head and replied sweetly, "My name is 'Daddy's Baby.'"
Jackson would record every important moment about Paris. From babbling to toddler.
Paris thought her father would take her hand and smile at her marriage, but this could only happen in dreams.
At Jackson's funeral, Paris cried and choked up, "I just want to say that since I was born, Dad has been the best dad you can imagine, and I just want to say that I love him!" ”
During Jackson's lifetime, Paris had a special governess come to her home to teach her lessons, and she never went to school.
After her death, Paris, who went to school, felt that her new environment was at a loss. After a brief curiosity about her identity, their classmates began to exclude her and even bully her because of her unsociability.
That wasn't what made Paris the hardest, because the people at the school were only a small group.
In the context of the frequent rhythm of bad media, the outside world has questioned Paris's identity, saying that she is not like Jackson at all. This left Paris devastated by public opinion.
In addition, Paris, who is in adolescence, is fat, and has also been hyped up by the media, "Obesity ruined her, she did not have Jackson's style at all." ”
These made Paris sensitive and vulnerable, and she began to doubt herself and fell into a deep inferiority complex.
Because of these things, she suffered from depression.
At the age of fourteen, Paris was sexually assaulted by strangers due to her lack of awareness of protection.
A year later, Paris, who was mentally unbearable, chose to commit suicide, but due to the timely discovery, she was saved.
Since then, Paris has been tattooed and self-harmed, becoming a rebellious girl.
After the chaotic madness, everything will return to calm.
Although she gave up and committed suicide, she eventually learned to be self-enlightened and reconciled with herself, and with her perseverance, she successfully walked out of the troubles of the past.
In 2016, 18-year-old Paris signed a modeling agency, and she walked on the catwalk with her aura open and beautiful.
In 2017, with the help of the Jackson Estate Committee, Paris donated more than 50 million pounds of relief supplies to the society as a charity that her father insisted on during his lifetime.
In 2018, Paris met her boyfriend Gabriel, and the two formed the band "Flowers of Music" together.
She wants to write her pain, her thoughts about her father, into the song, and she wants to become an artist like her father.
Now Paris has come out of the shadows and her career is thriving.
She will share videos of herself dancing Jackson's classic dance steps on social platforms.
When I see the photos of myself and my father, which are synthesized together by netizens, I will also be excited to share them with everyone.
Jackson's younger son, Prince II, was not as lucky as his older siblings.
After Jackson's death, Prince II, who was an IVF baby, never met his birth mother.
Therefore, I don't know who the birth mother really is, and he has completely become an orphan in this world.
At the funeral, he didn't know what else he could do except cry in the arms of his sister Paris.
Prince II first appeared in the public eye when he was 9 months old.
Jackson, at the time, in order to greet the fans waiting downstairs, did not pay attention to his arm, which had gone beyond the fence of the balcony.
Prince II nearly slipped away, but fortunately Jackson reacted in time and dragged him with a blanket in time.
As a result, he has a favorite called "blanket" among Jackson fans.
It can be said that the blanket is a child that Jackson uses the gene pool to "design".
He was also the most father-like of Jackson's three children, especially the side face that was exactly the same as Jackson's.
In honor of his father, blankets left long hair.
Although this made him laughed at school and even bullied, he did not think about cutting off his long hair.
Compared to her sister, Blanket is stronger.
In order to protect himself, Blanket went to learn taekwondo, and without the protection of his father, he understood that he could only rely on himself.
In 2013, Blanket and his brother Pres partnered to open a film and television company.
But his goal is not simply to take money and hold shares and eat dividends.
The next year, at the age of 12, Blanket wrote his first work, the 5-episode cartoon "Kill Them All", which tells the story of an 11-year-old boy who avenges his father, which is widely acclaimed.
For Jackson's death, the youngest blanket was the one that was the hardest to accept and the slowest to adapt.
After a long period of psychological counseling, I finally came out of the low mood.
Even now, you can feel old age and stability on the blanket.
Today, the blanket that appears in front of the camera is still a long hair, not smiling, and the 20-year-old seems to be never happy.
Now that Jackson has been out of this world for 13 years, he is still remembered by hundreds of millions of fans around the world.
To this day, Michael Jackson still exists in the hearts of each of us.
Countless people imitated his dances and learned his musical talents. He created a glorious era that belonged to him, the legend ended, and the spirit lived forever.
His three children are also working their own life paths, and they are missing their father in their own way.
At the same time, they will also visit their grandmother together. Although they all have their own lives, their family relationship will never change.
