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.

Who owns the Beatles' music?

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.

Do Michael Jackson still own beatle royalty?

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.
