MICHAEL JACKSON’S sister Janet did not put off her New Year’s Eve
wedding because of cold feet but because of cold cash, a friend has
revealed.
The singer was due to marry Arab multi-billionaire Wissam Al
Mana but their lawyers could not organise the prenuptial agreement in
time.
This is no small matter as twice-married Janet has amassed a fortune
of £93.5million from 10 hit albums and six major tours while Wissam is
one of the richest investors in the Middle East where he represents such
fashion and style icons as Hermes and Sonia Rykiel. He is also a major
shareholder in Saks Fifth Avenue stores in Dubai, Doha, Bahrain and
Kuwait.
“Janet will be marrying into the sort of wealth not even her brother
Michael managed to amass during his lifetime of success,” said her
friend. “She’s looking forward to a fairytale life with Wissam.”
Should the fairytale turn sour then the agreement still being worked
on is reported to guarantee Janet, 46, a “kiss-off” of half-a-billion
dollars (around £312.14million) if they divorce after a minimum of five
years.
Luxury brand mogul Wissam, who at 37 is nine years her junior, last
week confirmed their wedding will go ahead in his home country of Qatar
in April or May, adding: “We are very happy and very excited.”
Janet’s friend said: “She did not get cold feet over a New Year’s
wedding, as has been suggested. They decided to wait until spring so
they can complete every arrangement, including the prenup.” Wissam has
promised to fly in all members of Janet’s family who wish to attend on
his private jet.”
