Michael Jackson just etched himself into the record books once again by breaking the all time record for most earnings by an entertainer(alive or dead) in a given year.
The king of Rock and Roll Elvis Presley's estate at its highest peak could only muster $60m, while Michael's new $275m and growing figure is sure not be broken anytime soon.
Among his accolades are a number of other notable mentions:
26 American Music Awards
40 Billboard Awards
7 BRIT Awards
1 Golden Globe Award
1 MOBO Award
18 Grammy Awards
13 Guinness World Records
13MTV Awards
10 Soul Train Awards
14 NAACP Image Awards
56 RIAA Awards
4 American Video Awards
13 World Music Awards
A total of 386.
Apart from these, did you know that Michael has a patent for his shoes used in the Smooth Criminal video? These shoes allowed him and his dancers in that video to achieve a forward 45 degree lean beyond his center of gravity enabling the appearance of defying gravity. Go figure.
