Joe Jackson Wants an Allowance: Asking for $15,000 a Month

It appears that Michael Jackson’s father Joe Jackson isn’t very happy with the amount of money he’s getting recently, so he is now asking for more. According to actressarchives.com, Joe has asked John Branca and John McClain for an allowance of $15,000 a month.

And as you can very well imagine, Branca and McClain, who both oversee the King of Pop’s estate, think that the amount is a little too steep. Both men were said to have had their lawyers file papers, explaining why Joe getting such a big allowance would be a bad idea.

McClain and Branca are claiming that giving Joe so much money, would substantially deduct from the money that could well be going to Jackson’s children. But it may not be surprising to some, that it doesn’t really mean that much to Joe considering his reputation.

Joe has apparently said that he needs the money to support his children or grandchildren. But the executors of the estate say that despite what Joe has claimed, he has not been able to prove that Michael was in fact supporting him while he was still alive.
