A little history while you're here
MJ and the business of music — real facts
Michael was one of the most legally and commercially sophisticated artists of his generation. A few documented moments:
He renegotiated his Sony royalty rate to roughly 25%
After Thriller, Michael's contract was renegotiated in 1983 to give him the highest royalty rate of any recording artist in history at that time — a benchmark that reshaped major-label deals through the 1990s.
Pepsi paid him $5 million in 1983 for two TV commercials
The deal — then the largest celebrity endorsement in history — was famously the shoot at which Michael's hair caught fire on January 27, 1984.
He trademarked his name and signature poses
Michael held multiple U.S. trademarks covering his name, the 'MJ' monogram and even the silhouette of his crotch-grab pose — pioneering the way modern artists protect their visual brand.
Facts compiled from publicly available sources including Billboard, the RIAA, Guinness World Records and reputable music publications. We are an independent fan publication and are not affiliated with the Estate of Michael Jackson.
