11. The last time I looked, Herr Busch never had the talent for anything....
...when he was younger except heavy drinking, smoking dope, and snorting anything that could be cut with a razor blade. The closest he ever got to anyone living in poverty was when he was doing community service work in Houston. Georgie-porgie grew up wealthy and well-connected to the children of other wealthy and well-connected families.

In contrast, MJ and his family pulled themselves up by sheer willpower and the God-given talent to sing and perform. As far as your comment that Jackson "is an extremely wealthy individual who has done nothing for the society that has so lavishly rewarded him", perhaps you should review the link below that discusses some of 39 charities that Jackson has supported over the years:

Charity: Michael has been supporting charity all his life. Best known charities are: The Ronald Mc Donald children foundation, The make a wish foundation, Childright, etc., etc. In 1984 Michael opens his own burning center after he suffers severe burns to his scalp during a commercial shoot for Pepsi. In 1985 Michael writes the song "We are the World" to help the hungry people in Africa. In 1992 Michael starts with the "Heal the World foundation". A foundation that helps the needy children of the world. "The Guinness Book of World Records 2000 Millennium Edition" includes the following entry: Most Charities Supported By a Pop Star Michael Jackson has supported 39 charitable organizations either with monetary donations through sponsorships of their projects or by participating in their silent auctions.
