In 1985, Michael Jackson executed one of the most ruthlessly brilliant business moves in music history — coldly outbidding his own close friend Paul McCartney for the rights to the entire Beatles catalog, paying $47.5 million for the publishing empire that McCartney had personally advised Jackson to invest in, apparently never imagining for a single second that his protégé would turn that advice into a weapon aimed directly at him. McCartney — who had co-written some of the most valuable songs in human history yet couldn't afford to own them — felt so savagely betrayed by the man he had mentored that he permanently severed one of music's most celebrated friendships without a moment's hesitation. What the music world dismissed as a reckless overpayment by an eccentric pop star quietly transformed into one of the greatest investments in entertainment history, eventually forming the foundation of a billion-dollar empire that made Michael Jackson wealthier than anyone in the industry had ever imagined a musician could become.
