Using income from past music sales and advances against future ones, music-publishing royalties, a film-rights sale and various other licensing deals, the estate has paid off nearly $200 million of the $500 million debt the singer had used to fund his extravagant spending.
借助音乐销售收入和未来销售的预付款、音乐版税、电影版权收入以及其他形形色色的授权交易，杰克逊死后赚到的钱又帮他支付了五亿美元债务中的近两亿美元。去世前，杰克逊靠这笔巨额债务支撑其过着挥霍无度的生活。
The estate has collected as much as $125 million in royalties and advances from Sony Corp.'s Sony Music, which has sold 31.5 million Jackson albums since his death and plans to distribute an album of previously unreleased music around November. Corporate sibling Sony Pictures paid $60 million for rights to 'This Is It,' the documentary about rehearsals for Mr. Jackson's planned comeback concerts.
杰克逊的产业得到索尼公司(Sony Corp.)旗下索尼音乐娱乐公司(Sony Music)1.25亿美元的版税和销售预付款，这家公司自杰克逊死后卖出了3150万张他的音乐专辑，并计划于2010年11月左右推出一张从未发布过的杰克逊歌曲的专辑唱片。索尼的另一家子公司索尼影视娱乐有限公司(Sony Pictures)为电影《就是这样》(This Is It)支付了6000万美元的版税，这部影片记录了杰克逊为其复出演唱会进行彩排的点点滴滴。
Mijac, the publishing company that controls the copyrights to songs written by Mr. Jackson, is on track to generate $35 million in royalties. The estate is set to collect $11 million in dividends from Sony/ATV Music Publishing, the joint venture with Sony Corp. that controls 251 songs by the Beatles. Television and merchandise deals could generate another $10 million, while deals to create a videogame and two Cirque du Soleil shows based on Mr. Jackson's music are set to provide additional revenue later this year.
杰克逊的唱片以及影片《就是这样》吸金无数杰克逊自创歌曲的版权都归Mijac音乐公司所有，预计将产生3500万的版税收入。此外，杰克逊与索尼公司合资的SONY/ATV音乐出版公司(Sony/ATV Music Publishing)拥有251首披头士乐队(Beatles)的歌曲版权，预计将带来1100万美元的分红。电视和商品化经营可再贡献1000万美元，一款电子游戏和两场以杰克逊音乐为主题的太阳马戏团(Cirque du Soleil)表演也将在2010年下半年带来额外的收入。
