What do YOU think was his smartest move? Owning The Beatles catalog? Beating Sony at their own game? Let’s talk 👇

He initially owned ATV , then owned 50 % of Sony / ATV , which was the merging of both .<br>His estate did not immediately sell his stake , they sold it in 2016 .

He is not untouchable. Yes, he owned the most valuable music catalogs in the world—ATV and Mijac. But he ended up dying. ATV is gone, and 50% of Mijac is gone. Everything he fought for his whole life was sold right after his death<br>And the price when ATV and Mijac was sold to Sony ? It was high but it is said that it was still undervalued tho.<br>MJ was smart but he was on his own. One person against the system and that’s why he struggled that much. They destroyed him and finally took what they wanted<br>RIP the legend

Bottom line, they hated a Black man with power. Like Las Vegas, the house always wins.😢😮

Sony Won in the end by conspiring with the Media & Law Enforcement to concoct false Child Abuse charges against him, then tarnish his reputation, which forced him to sell the Beatles Cataloge to them when he ran into legal problems steming from the Child abuse allagations. Then when he died, they eventually forced his Mother to sell them Michael's entire back cataloge back to them, in order to prevent his estate from going into liquidation. Because the Devil always Wins in this World 🤫

crazy how the industry is currently trying to sabotage his own movie biopic and still failed. Michael has been long gone in the fight against him is still going.

Michael Jackson did not win! Death was the ultimate sacrifice for standing up to a bully, the music industry! Is it really worth it? I wish MJ was still here entertaining us!😢❤
