Michael Jackson famously acquired the rights to the Beatles music catalog in the 1980s, which, as a result, amassed a huge amount of wealth over the years for the King of Pop. Music publishing, a venture Paul McCartney reportedly advised him to get into in the first place and felt betrayed when Jackson bought the songs the ex-Beatle lost many years before. Tension built as the two music icons fought each other as to how the legendary music would be licensed and, maybe more importantly, who got a bigger portion of the profit. But after Jackson's death in 2009, many speculated what would happen to the catalog next. Who's hands is the catalog now in? What its value today?
