Holy cow, at first glance one would think this has to be a mistake. Apparently, Michael Jackson’s credit score was only an average of 564. After thinking about it though, it makes sense.
First of all, Michael Jackson didn’t need credit. People gave him stuff just for being the King of Pop. I’m guessing that MJ probably had no clue what a FICO score was, nor did he care. Yet, if he wanted credit, he definitely wouldn’t have any problem getting it. Even after all the debt is cleared, his estate is still worth more than I might see in 4 Miss Bankrupt lifetimes.
Second, who in their right mind ever considered pulling a credit report (until now, of course). Are there any creditors out there that would’ve told him, “Sorry Mr. Jackson. We can’t give you King Tut’s intestine because your credit sucks? Uh, no. Everyone knew he was good for it.
If anything, this should give those of us with less than stellar credit scores a little hope. Maybe there is a halfway decent life out there for us regardless of what FICO says. At the end of the day, as long as our children are taken care of and not left with a burden of our own debt, then maybe we can stop freaking out about our FICO scores and worry less.
I don’t know. Still feels good to say it though. I might be broke, but my credit score is still better than Michael Jackson’s.
No disrespect or anything. God knows, there isn’t too much I can do better than Michael Jackson…well except dancing. I’m probably a better dancer…
