5 Ways Michael Jackson Influenced The World Outside Of Music - Page 4
It’s with no ego, or comes as no opinion, to say that there will never be another entertainer in the music industry that compares to the late King Of Pop himself, Michael Jackson.
From the age of a toddler well into the age of his untimely death at 50, MJ was considered pop royalty that defied barriers of race, gender, age, culture and so many other things that limited other artists before and after him. With Michael, the impossible seemed nonexistent in terms of talent — a signature falsetto and one-of-a-kind dance moves became one of many trademarks. However, what made him so special isn’t just what he contributed to music but also what he gave to the world on a larger scale.
In honor of his legacy, we look at ways MJ changed our perspective on the world without having to hum a tune or bust out his iconic Moonwalk.
Well, maybe just a little on the latter.

Those that saw the tribute post that went up on his official estate’s Instagram account earlier today (seen above) may have spotted the list of his many aka’s within the caption. One standout was “beloved humanitarian,” and MJ was quite the charitable figure.

1. His Charitable Efforts
Nights like this one in 1988 at the 44th United Negro College Fund Anniversary — here with Elizabeth Taylor, Liza Minnelli, Yoko Ono, Christie Brinkley and even Whitney Houston! — were one of many ways MJ found time to donate money to charity…and lots of it!
3. Investing In (And Owning!) Neverland Ranch
Although Neverland Ranch sold for just over $20 million a few years ago, at one point MJ’s former real-life wonderland was valued at upwards of $90 million. Michael blowing major bread on renovations may have put him in the negative, but it’s the way he enjoyed living lavishly in the moment, money being no object whatsoever, that felt inspiring coming from someone of our culture.
