According to a story found at MJSite.com the singing Jackson family isn't doing so well for the most part. Sure Janet still has cash, LaToya is somehow making a living in Europe doing God knows what and Rebie was smart enough to quit after Centipede and marry herself a man with some bank.
But the boys are a hot greasy mess:

Michael: On the verge of losing Neverland ranch as well as the family's Encino, Calif., home. He's hiding out in Las Vegas and repeatedly makes promises to his brothers while sabotaging any attempts by them to ply their musical trade.

Jackie: The oldest son started an Internet clothing business and is trying to produce records by his sons. Nothing has panned out.

Randy: Does odd jobs like changing tires to support himself. He was Michael's business manager during the 2005 molestation trial but ran into serious problems with friends after he persuaded three people to take out lines of credits against their homes to help Michael pay his attorney fees and Michael stiffed them.
 
Marlon: Lives in San Diego, where he works stocking groceries at a Vons supermarket. He fell on hard times three years ago when he was forced to leave his foreclosed home and move into an Extended Stay America hotel with his wife, Carol.

Jermaine: Splits time between the parents' Hayvenhurst mansion and his girlfriend's home in the San Fernando Valley. With more than $5 million in federal, state and other liens against him and a 1995 bankruptcy filing, he doesn't work or have a regular income.

Tito: Formed a blues band several years ago and plays at small venues for $500 to $1,500 a gig.


These broke bastards better call VH1 and get a piece of that reality show money that's out there before it dries up. If a crispy critter like Flavor Flav can get women to fight over him then imagine the caliber of chicks that Jermaine can get with his California Raisin looking ass.

Damn. At least Tito isn't stocking groceries.  Dayum Marlon!

You'd think they would have invested their money or something. They must have been living like the cash was never going to dry up.

Even though he denies it time and time again, I believe that the song Jermaine did called "Word to the Badd" is about Michael:

 

What up yo, word to the badd

I gave my love
You gave your love
Thought we'd never part
Said you love me
Then you left me
With a broken heart
You never think about who you love
You only think about number one
You forgot about where we started from
You only think about what you want
You don't care about how it's done
you only think about you, your throne
Be it right or be it wrong

It ain't about your world
It ain't about the things that you do
If you don't care, I don't care
Cause you keep thinkin' 'bout you
It ain't about you takin' my pie
You been takin' for a long time
If you don't care, I don't care
If you keep
Well I ain't thinkin' 'bout you

What up yo, word to the badd

Once you were made
You changed your ways
Even told me lies
Could not trust you
Still I loved you
My mind worried overtime
You know I tried to be there for you
Like a lover I cared for you
It didn't matter you always play me off
You only care about what you want
You don't care about how it's done
You only think about you, your throne
Be it right or wrong

Chorus

Oh no no, I ain't thinkin' 'bout you
Oh no
What's up yo, word to the badd

Thinkin' about that pie that you've been takin' from me
From a love to another lover hard to believe
Lost and don't know it yet you still show it
Givin' seems to be harder than it is to receive
The glass has gotten shady when it should have been clearer
But it's you always starin' in the mirror
Constatnly fakin' it ain't no mistakin' it
Get a grip cause you're not far from breakin' it

Thinkin' about the time when we used to be close
It shouldn't be past tense cause nobody knows
What the future may hold what tomorrow might bring
It' not guaranteed that you'll be spreadin' your wings
And funny it seem show it used to be
Times when you needed to lean on me
Now you're standin' on two and you wanna act now
Girl I ain't thinkin' about you

That was probably one the times that Michael refused to join in on another Jackson 5 tour and Jermaine got pissed.
