Paris Jackson wants $1,165,481.90 in legal fees after successfully challenging $625,000 in bonuses paid to attorneys working for Michael Jackson’s estate. John Branca, the executor Michael personally selected, argues that she should be paid for the work on which she prevailed and the benefit produced for the beneficiaries, not everything she has requested.

While a California judge ordered $625,000 in attorney bonuses returned to the estate, the same ruling opened the door for Paris’ lawyers to seek substantial legal fees of their own after years of litigation that has already cost the estate millions. In the end, the only people guaranteed to walk away richer may be the attorneys billing by the hour.

And increasingly, those watching closely are asking whether Paris Jackson is at the center of it or being pulled deeper into it.
