I think so, but he might give it to Paul Mcartney.
Micheal Jacson bought 50% of the back catalogue1984 for $47.5 million
He sold 50% of his share to sony in 1995 for $90million , so at the time of his death he apparently stilled owned 25% of the total catalogue.
Michael Jackson bought the rights to many of The Beatles songs many years ago, outbidding Paul McCarthy for them. Recently he has sold some of them in an attempt to liquidate some of his debts.Rumor has it that he leaves the remainder to Paul McCarthy in his will. Michael Jackson bought the publishingrights to most of the Beatles catalog. The individual Beatles still retained songwriters rights and we paid for it each time a song in the catalog was licensed.
Under current law, 95 years from the date of registration. So the last of them still have about 55 years to go. The Beatles catalog is currently co-owned by Sony Music, and Jackson's estate. (These are the publishing rights to the music, not the Beatles' recordings.)
I love Michael and I like Elvis but The Beatles were just incredible, their music is simply amazing, their influence on pop culture is still being felt even today, so yeah The Beatles are the best. i respect beatles but Michael Jackson is the best and no one could be like him.........so Michael is the best the beatles i believe :) MJ and Elvis are still really good though
Be cause it's Michael Jackson....
Michael Jackson is dead.

Yes. Paul McCartney and John Lennon (now his estate) always owned 50% of the rights to the Beatles catalog. However, in an effort to save on taxes, the remaining 50% interest were sold to a company called ATV. When ATV was up for sale, Michael Jackson purchased ATV's interest. This did not diminish the royalties payable to Paul and John's estate. Sony then purchased a portion of ATV from Michael Jackson. However, Michael Jackson's estate remains an owner in Sony ATV.
Michael Jackson the publishing rights for a number of songs, including a large portion of the Beatles catalog when he acquired Northern Lights LTD in 1985. He does not own the copyrights, those are still held by the original composers (or their estates).
