A probate court in Los Angeles has increased the allowance for Michael Jackson’s children to more than $60,000 per month, said TMZ.com. The deceased singer’s mother, Katherine, requested the new sum, saying she needed more to provide for Jackson’s three children—Prince Michael, Paris, and Blanket. Katherine also receives $27,000 per month from the singer’s estate for personal expenses.
