MJ Trial: King Of Pop Wanted His Own Castle

During testimony at the Michael Jackson wrongful death trial yesterday (June 12th), it was revealed that the pop icon was allegedly so broke that he needed to go on the This Is It tour to buy a home.

According to TMZ, AEG Randy Philips -- the head of AEG said told the jury about a meeting that he had with Michael in 2008. Phillip said that a tearful Michael told him that he and his 3 kids were living "like vagabonds," going from a Las Vegas rental to the Bel Air Hotel in L.A.

Phillips said that Michael wanted a home for his family and that he needed the This Is It tour to make it happen. Phillips said that the next day, Michael told him that the home he wanted to buy was a 40,000 square foot estate that cost $93 million. Phillips said that he told Michael that he thought it was ridiculous to spend that much money on the home.


MJ eventually settled on renting the house where he died.
