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.
