He wasn't necessarily broke, he was better off than me and you. The problem was he had way less money than he was used to having, and because his living expenses were so high, his money was running low. It's like being a Multimillionaire and then having like only $1 million dollars left.

Yes. The Jacksons were very poor back in the 50s/60s, at that time they were living in Gary, Indiana. Joseph Jackson was working very hard for a low salary and it was a difficult task to cater for all the family. Joseph and Katherine Jackson both made a good description of what their life looked like in their respective autobiographies. They also stated that in spite of having many hard times, the Jacksons were a happy family.

Michael was from a working class family. His father gave up his own musical talent to work as a crane operator to provide for the family. He began to mould them into a musical group from a young age.

No. After he died it was reported that he was in debt. He might not have been the richest man money wise, but he was very rich in love and showed it.
