Michael Jackson's estate has generated $310 million in revenue from album sales, movie profits, licensing arrangements and lucrative deals for Cirque du Soleil shows since the singer died in 2009.
His estate's administrators have used $159 million to pay down the pop star's debt, which when Jackson died amounted to more than $400 million, court records show.
Among the projects making money for Jackson's estate are the new album "Michael," which contains previously unreleased songs, and the concert movie "This Is It," which compiled videotaped rehearsals for a series of comeback concerts in London.
