00:00On June 25, 2009, the world was rocked by the news of Michael Jackson's unexpected death.
00:05Though the years that followed were difficult for his three children, Prince, Paris, and Beejee,
00:10sources tell us that the King of Pop would be proud of who they are today.
00:15In the new issue of Us Weekly, a source tells us,
00:17"...some people could let nepotism get to their heads, but they are the complete opposite of that."
00:23While Paris has dipped her toes in the entertainment world, working as a model, actress, and singer,
00:29she wanted to make a living and not depend on her father's money.
00:32However, her brothers have remained more low-key.
00:35Prince, who's been dating his college sweetheart Molly Schermeg for over seven years,
00:39loves riding motorcycles and his charity work.
00:43A source tells us that Beejee is the most private of the siblings.
00:46He lives on his own and doesn't have to work, but has hobbies.
00:50Most importantly, they are each other's best friends and all stick together,
00:54with a source adding,
00:55"...Michael would be so happy."
00:57Back in April, the three siblings stepped out together to celebrate the opening of
01:01MJ the Musical in London's West End.
01:04The siblings' outing came amid Beejee's ongoing legal battle with Michael's mother Catherine Jackson
01:09over the singer's estate.
01:11The twosome initially teamed up against the executors of the estate
01:15after they planned to use the money for an undisclosed business deal with Sony.
01:20The court ruled in the executives' favor, but Catherine is appealing the decision,
01:24claiming that the estate should pay for her legal expenses.
01:27Beejee, however, is on the opposing side.
01:30Since her son's death in 2009, Catherine has received over $55 million,
01:36a significant portion of which is from a monthly allowance, which has amounted to $33 million.
01:42All three of Michael's children were also given a $33 million initial payout.
01:46They will gain access to one-third of their trust funds at the age of 30.
