At the time of his death last June, Michael Jackson was reportedly deeply in debt and had agreed to sign on for an unprecedented 50-date run at the O2 arena in London, as a means of turning his financial fortunes around.

But thanks to a flurry of merchandising deals and a flood of nostalgia-fueled âm nhạc sales, his estate has generated nearly $1 billion in the past year,Billboard reports via Reuters.

Billboard broke down the nguồn of that windfall, determining that nearly half of it came from the robust âm nhạc sales following the singer's shock death on June 25, 2009. Jackson has sold 9 million albums in the U.S. and 24 million around the globe since his death, along with around 800,000 copies of albums bởi the Jackson 5 and the Jacksons. Assuming a worldwide retail sales price of $11.62 per unit, the magazine estimated that the Jackson catalog brought in about $383 million in sales.

Add in 12.9 million track downloads in the U.S. over the past year, along with 26.5 million in international downloads, and bạn have another $34 million. Then there's about 1.5 million in ringtone sales in America, another 3 million globally for another $5 million, as well as $2 million from digital performance royalties from âm nhạc subscription services and $4.5 million from global digital performances for a âm nhạc total of $429 million.

The một giây biggest nguồn of revenue was TV and movie projects, led bởi the "Michael Jackson: This Is It" documentary about the singer's final rehearsals for his planned Luân Đôn shows. Sony Pictures paid $60 million for the rights to the film, which earned $72 million at the box office to become the highest-grossing buổi hòa nhạc film ever. It earned an additional $188 million overseas, while the DVD of the film raked in $43 million in the U.S., as well as $24 million in rental income. It earned $18 million just in Nhật Bản on the first ngày of release and another $7 million in Blu-Ray sales.

Billboard also speculated that the sales of the TV rights to "This Is It" to Viacom (the parent company of MTV) may have generated an additional $15 million, and licensing fees for nontheatrical performances (airplanes, cruise ships, hotels) could bring in around $24 million.

One of Jackson's traditional cash cows, his âm nhạc publishing rights, was another lucrative nguồn of income, taking in nearly $130 million. The singer's Mijac publishing company — with an estimated value of $75 million in 2005 — has a current value of around $150 million, generating around $25 million a năm in revenue, with that number possibly doubling to $50 million in the past year. Jackson's half ownership of the lucrative Sony/ATV catalog could be worth as much as an additional $80 million a year.

The executors of Jackson's estate have cut a series of deals over the past year, resulting in around $35 million in additional revenue. Because many những người hâm mộ declined to return their tickets to the Luân Đôn This Is It shows, preferring to retain them as keepsakes, those tickets were worth $6.5 million, along with around $5 million in buổi hòa nhạc merchandise sales; a một giây deal with merchandise maker Bravado cut in August reportedly included a $10 million advance. A Jackson memorabilia exhibit in Nhật Bản has earned $3.5 million. And additional licensing royalties and retail sales could have rolled up $10 million hoặc thêm for the estate.

It is not known how much game-maker Ubisoft paid to license Jackson's image for an upcoming video game hoặc what potential revenues could be from a pair of upcoming Jackson-themed Cirque du Soleil shows.

Finally, even in death Jackson has one of the most lucrative recording contracts around. Sony âm nhạc Entertainment cut a deal in March with the estate to release 10 Jackson albums through 2017. From a collection of previously unreleased Jackson songs due in November to reissues of such landmark albums as 1979's solo debut, Off the Wall, the estate is guaranteed between $200 and $250 million for the Sony pact. Though none of the albums have been released yet, if just one of the contract's eight years comes off as planned, it could add $31 million to the estate's coffers.

Celebrate Michael Jackson's legacy all week long as MTV News looks back at his life, his âm nhạc and the death that shook the world one năm ago.

The way she came into the place
I knew right then and there
There was something different
About this girl

The way she moved
Her hair, her face, her lines
Divinity in motion

As she stalked the room
I could feel the aura
Of her presence
Every head turned
Feeling passion and lust

The girl was persuasive
The girl I could not trust
The girl was bad
The girl was dangerous

I never knew but I was
Walking the line
Come go with me
I đã đưa ý kiến I have no time
She đã đưa ý kiến don't bạn pretend we didn't
Talk on the phone
My baby cried
And left me standing alone

She's so dangerous
The girl is so dangerous
Take away my money
Throw away my time...

It's close to midnight and something evil's lurking in the dark
Under the moonlight bạn see a sight that almost stops your heart
You try to scream but terror takes the sound before bạn make it
You start to freeze as horror looks bạn right between the eyes
You're paralyzed

'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
And no one's gonna save bạn from the beast about to strike
You know it's thriller, thriller night
You're fighting for life inside a killer, thriller tonight

You hear a door slam and realize there's nowhere left to run
You feel the cold hand and wonder if you'll ever see the sun
You close your eyes...

(Michael) Tired of
injustice
Tired of the schemes
Kinda disgusted
So what does it mean

Kicking me down I got to get
up As jacked as it sounds
The whole system sucks

(Janet) Peek in the shadow
Come into the light
You tell me I'm wrong
Then bạn better prove you're right
You're sellin' out souls
but I care about mine
I've got to get stronger
And I won't give up the fight

(Michael) With such confusions don't it
make bạn wanna scream
Your bash abusin' victimize within the scheme

(Janet) bạn try to cope
with every lie they scrutinize

(Both) Somebody please have mercy
'Cause I just can't take it
Stop...

There's a ghost down in the hall
There's a ghoul under the bed
There's something in the walls
There's blood up on the stairs
And it's floating through the room
And there's nothing I can see
And I know that that's the truth
Because now it's onto me

I don't understand it
Hey!
I don't understand it!
Aaow!

There's a tappin' in the floor
There's a creak behind the door
There's a rocking in the chair
But there's no-one sitting there
There's a ghostly smell around
But nobody to be found
And a coughin' and a yawnin'
Where a restless soul is going

Don't understand it
Hey!
Don't understand it
Hey.

And who gave bạn the right...

She was thêm like a beauty
queen from a movie scene
I đã đưa ý kiến don't mind, but what do
you mean I am the one
Who will dance on the floor in
the round
She đã đưa ý kiến I am the one will
dance on the floor in the
round

She told me her name was
Billie Jean, as she caused
a scene
Then every head turned with
eyes that dreamed of being
the one
Who will dance on the floor in
the round

People always told me be
careful of what bạn do
And don't go around breaking
young girls' hearts
And mother always told me be
careful of who bạn love
And be careful of what you
do 'cause the lie becomes
the truth

Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl...
