Paris Jackson, worth $145m, was ‘living in a van’ with her boyfriend

She’s an heiress to her late father Michael’s vast fortune, worth more than $145 million – but Paris Jackson sure doesn’t act like it.

Paris Jackson has admitted “a week” after meeting her boyfriend, Gabriel Glenn, she was living in his van.

The couple have been together for more than a year.

In the Facebook Watch series, Unfiltered: Paris Jackson And Gabriel Glenn, Gabriel said of their first meeting: “We went from The Rainbow to an after-party and that’s where I saw her playing an unplugged guitar.

“It felt very intimate and I knew that I was … I was walking towards a head over heel fall.”

Paris, the daughter of late music icon Michael Jackson, said: “From then on, it was pretty much on.

“We immediately just vibed – spent three days straight together.”

She said: “Within a week, I was living in his van.”

The couple initially met through mutual friends, but they got together after a jam session for Gabriel’s band.

They hit it off right away discussing the songs they were producing and collaborating on music.

They went public with their relationship last February and were soon attending industry premieres, galas and even doing a couple’s costume for Paris’ Halloween party.

The couple created their music group The Soundflowers and just recently dropped their debut EP.

Their new digital series will take fans inside the early days of their relationship and show how they’ve been writing music together.

New episodes air every Tuesday on Facebook.

HOW MUCH PARIS IS WORTH

Paris (pictured here with dad Michael) inherited a vast fortune from her father.

Said to be worth at least $US100 million ($A145 million), a huge chunk of Paris’ cashflow comes from the 2016 sale by the Michael Jackson estate of his 50 per cent stake in the Sony/ATV music publishing company. His stake in the company meant he owned the rights to a vast number of popular songs, including those of his old duet partner Paul McCartney.

Jackson’s stake in the publishing company was bought back by Sony in 2016 for an incredible $US750 million. At the time of the sale, the estate’s executers said it was to maximise “the value of Michael’s estate for the benefit of his children.”

It’s understood that, having received some of her inheritance when she turned 18, Jackson will receive her next big chunk of money when she turns 30. Her brothers Prince and Blanket will inherit their shares at the same age.
