The recently announced engagement of 26-year-old Paris Jackson, daughter of Michael Jackson, to Justin Long has sparked intense disapproval from her family. They firmly believe that he is only interested in her immense fortune. While Justin’s bank accounts reportedly hold just over $10 million, Paris is set to inherit a third of nearly two billion dollars when she turns 33. This is the sum that, according to her late father’s will, will be divided between his only daughter and two of her brothers, Prince and Bigi.
Paris’ family is convinced that Justin, a mid-level music producer and sound engineer, has long planned to seize her wealth. Several years ago, he subtly gained her trust by offering his professional services when Paris decided to pursue a singing career. She started out as a model but later chose to perform on stage, accompanying herself on the guitar. Justin began helping her with this, and their professional relationship reportedly turned romantic about three years ago.
In reality, Paris doesn’t need to work; she does it purely for enjoyment. Although she has not yet gained full access to her father’s estate, she receives $8 million annually. Rumors suggest that Justin is already using her generous financial support to fund his own projects, and by marrying her, he would become fabulously wealthy.
The real concern is whether he will break her heart. Paris, known for her many romances, has become infamous for her tendency to fall quickly and deeply in love, only to be heartbroken when relationships end—usually not by her choice. According to her friends, every time she falls in love, she believes she has found “the one,” but when she is left, she vows to be more cautious in the future. Yet, the same pattern repeats, and with each breakup, she suffers even more. Paris’ family can only hope that they are wrong about Justin and that everything will work out for the best for her and her future husband.
