He was very vocal about AIDS/HIV research, even before it was "fashionable" to do so (back in the late 80's and early 90's). Also, I could be wrong and please correct me if so, but I've never heard of any allegations he was not paying his taxes... :dontknow: That, in itself, is a huge step above most artists and celebrities. But, you are correct, I'm sure most if not all of that money was a tax write-off. (Even tho, being the highest paid performer of all time... some say over $100,000,000/year... if he paid taxes on even the minimum amount, at a conservative 27%, that would be a tax bill of $27,000,000/year. :dontknow: Whatever the amount... I'm pretty sure one year's tax revenue from Michael was more than the combined LIFETIME tax revenue from both you and me. )
with you guys it's always about money!!!! dam it i need some money!
