Michael Jackson's estate is $5.5 million richer than previously thought and may remain solvent despite $400 million in debt, E! Online reports. Recovered from Jacko's former advisers, the cash and "tangible personal property"—along with new deals worth "tens of millions of dollars"—can pay a monthly allowance for Jackson's three children and his mother, according to a court filing today.
