August 31, (THEWILL) – American singer, Janet Jackson, younger sister of late iconic pop artiste, Michael Jackson, made a fortune from her marriage of five years to billionaire businessman, Wissam Al Mana.
Jackson married Al Mana, a billionaire Qatar businessman, who was in charge of 55 companies covering fashion, engineering, real estate and media in 2012.
She was introduced to Al Mana in 2006 and they started dating in 2010. They became engaged and got married in 2012 when the billionaire was 37 years old while Jackson was 46 years old.
They had a secret marriage away from the spotlight because it had a business agreement behind it.
The agreement had two clauses. One was that the singer would receive $100 million if their marriage lasted at least five years.
The second clause was that she would receive another $100 million if she gave birth to a boy for the billionaire.
Jackson became pregnant in 2016 and had a son, Elissa, in 2017, when she was 50 years old.
The singer decided to file for divorce on the basis of cultural differences from her billionaire husband in 2017, shortly after she gave birth to her son.
Al Mana also kept his own part of the bargain by giving Jackson the sum of $200 million after they parted ways.
