It’s been over a decade since Michael Jackson’s passing, and his youngest son, once known as Blanket, has managed to keep a low profile. However, recent photos have surfaced, revealing a young man who has reinvented himself with a new name, Bigi, and a luxurious lifestyle.
The infamous incident in 2002, where Michael Jackson dangled Blanket over a balcony in Berlin, made headlines worldwide. After apologizing for the “terrible mistake,” Jackson increased his efforts to protect his child from the public eye. Following his death in 2009, Blanket, then just 7 years old, was thrust back into the spotlight along with his siblings.
As the years passed, Blanket struggled to adjust to life without his father. A family friend revealed that he was “very lost and extremely upset” after Michael’s passing. The youngster also faced bullying at school due to his unconventional name, which he reportedly resented his father for giving him.
Now, at 19 years old, Bigi has carved out a new life for himself. He’s invested in a stunning $2.7 million mansion in California, complete with six bedrooms, seven bathrooms, and a sprawling swimming pool. His new home is situated in a gated community, with celebrity neighbors like Kim Kardashian. Bigi’s grandmother and guardian, Katherine, also lives nearby.
As for his career aspirations, Bigi expressed interest in becoming a movie director in a 2012 interview. With his newfound independence and luxurious lifestyle, it will be interesting to see what the future holds for Michael Jackson’s youngest son.
