Who does Joe Jackson think he is, K-Fed?!
Joe is seeking an allowance from his late son's estate to help him pay for his living expenses, which he claims exceed $20,000 a month.
According to court papers filed Friday, "He does not have a regular or steady source of income, and he was dependent upon the money provided by his son, Michael Jackson, through his wife, Katherine Jackson, for his support."
As you may recall, MJ's estate is already giving Katherine a monthly allowance of $26,000, as she is looking after the King of Pop's three young children. Joe's attorney Brian Oxman says Joe is entitled to the "same manner" of support as Katherine, and that Michael had footed his father's bills for decades. Joe said in a recent interview that the amount the Michael gave to his parents when he was alive was far greater than what Katherine Jackson is currently receiving.
The filing does not specify the exact amount Joe Jackson is seeking, but a monthly budget report included in the court documents lists more than $15,000 in expenses, including $1,500 for rent, $2,500 for dining out and $5,000 for hotels and air travel.
Uhh, maybe it's time to stop spending so much money? We can understand an allowance of $5-10k a month, but $20k? What the heck is he spending it on?
