Michael Jackson's son evades fame, lives quietly at 22

Prince Michael II, also known as Blanket, has chosen a path different from his father’s, steering clear of the limelight. Despite being 22 years old, he remains a prime target for photographers eager to capture his image. But does his appearance reflect that he's the heir to a fortune estimated at $150 million?
Less than a decade after the death of Michael Jackson, the HBO platform released the documentary "Leaving Neverland", which revealed the dark tendencies towards pedophilia of the "king of pop". It was even speculated that one of the victims of the musician's molestation could have been his son, Prince Michael, who was nicknamed Blanket.
Until reaching adulthood, "Bigi" (as his close ones now call him) remained under the guardianship of his grandmother. The identity of his mother is still unknown - it is said that he was brought into the world by an anonymous surrogate. Unlike other children of famous and beloved individuals, Blanket did not follow in his famous family's footsteps and had been avoiding the spotlight for many years, living off his fortune, estimated at $150 million.
While Blanket usually avoids industry parties, visiting only events dedicated to his late father, the American occasionally allows himself to be photographed by local photographers in his hometown of Los Angeles. On Wednesday, the 22-year-old was seen near his residence in famous Calabasas, leaving a café with a cup in his hand.
The son of the pop legend cut his long hair, which now reaches his jaw. He was dressed in simple shorts and a T-shirt with Batman on it, and he wore unremarkable sneakers as if he had no intention of drawing attention to himself. After all, as we know, he does not like to show himself publicly.
