Some sources put his wealth at around $1.5 million, while others say it’s closer to $5 million. Either way, it’s clear that this Jackson brother isn’t doing well financially.

Let’s see what’s up with his finances!

Jermaine Jackson’s Revenue Streams Over the Years

Jermaine’s monthly income reports vary drastically.

At one point, he claimed he was making around $1,000. Later, he said his income was nearly $14,000 a month, but his expenses were almost $11,000.

That said, here are his main income sources:

The Jackson 5 Era With Motown

I have no doubt that Motown (the band’s first record label) made a killing off the Jackson brothers. But that doesn’t mean the boys saw much of that money. Believe it or not, the Jacksons got less than 3% of the profits!

The brothers, hoping for a bigger cut, left Motown for Epic. Jermaine Jackson, however, couldn’t follow them. By then, he was romantically involved with Berry Gordy, the daughter of Motown’s founder.

Jackson 5 Live Performances

When the band reunited for the 30th Anniversary shows in 2001, each family member received $250,000.

Rumor has it that Jermaine “hounded” the King of Pop for an extra $500,000.

Solo Career

Jermaine’s career as a solo artist wasn’t all that bad. He released 14 albums.

He was also credited for writing or performing a number of soundtracks for movies and shows, including the 1997 crime thriller “Jackie Brown” and “Beverly Hills Cop II.”

That being said, he might not have received the royalties in full. Amid his third divorce, the artist accused his ex, Halima Rashid, of collecting over $90,000 from his royalties.

Book Deal

There was a bit of controversy surrounding Jermaine Jackson’s book deals. At one point, he was accused of shopping for a proposal with Stacy Brown that would throw shade on his more famous brother, Michael.

Later on Larry King Live, Jermaine denied the rumor. And when he did release a memoir, he promised that it would be a “loving portrait” of his brother.

TV Appearances

Besides his music career and book deal, Jermaine Jackson had a few TV appearances. These tend to pay a pretty penny.

For instance, he reportedly brought home $450,000 from his appearance on the show “Celebrity Big Brother.” And that was back in 2007.

A year later, he did a few episodes of “Gone Country.” Jermaine was also credited for single-episode appearances on “Happy Hour,” “Richard & Judy,” “Never Mind the Buzzcocks,” and more.

Jermaine Jackson’s Homes and Top Assets

Jermaine Jackson paid his older brother Tito $550,000 for his 1,764-square-foot home in Calabasas, California. It’s not clear what happened to his property, but the situation is confusing.

You see, in 2010, the artist was facing eviction because the house he was renting was going up on the foreclosure auction block. Did he sell his home? Was he keeping the home as an investment while he rented a house? My guess is as good as yours.

Either way, Jermaine Jackson has a way of “losing” assets. In 2010, he claimed that someone stole jewelry and clothes from his home, with a total value of $150,000.

Oh, and this Jackson brother didn’t just accuse his ex-wife of collecting his royalties. He also said she sold their cars and transferred assets worth $250,000 to a company without his permission.

Speaking of cars and messy divorces, Jermaine Jackson paid $160,000 for a Ferrari amidst his child support battle with Alejandra Oaziaza. Mind you, at the time, he was struggling to cover the $12,000 he owed in back support payments.

Jermaine Jackson’s Struggles With Child Support

Jermaine Jackson had kids with multiple women. And a few of these relationships ended up with some sort of financial disagreement, to put it mildly.

Here’s a quick overview of how bad things got:

• He paid $2,500 a month in temporary support before settling with Halima Rashid.
• He tried to get a judge to lower his monthly payments to Alejandra from $3,000 to $215.
• His ex-wife had to ask Michael Jackson’s estate executors for the $91,000 that Jermaine owed her.
• To avoid jail time, he settled with Alejandra for $80,000.
• His ex-common-law wife, Margaret Maldonado, never got a penny in child support and decided she wasn’t even going to try to fight in court.
