Jackson Co-Founds Sony/ATV, Then Sells Out—in More Ways Than One

In 1995, Michael Jackson participates in a groundbreaking move, merging his catalogue with Sony to create Sony/ATV Music Publishing. Marketed as a co-founder, Jackson retains significant influence, though the financial script flips later.
