Debbie Rowe’s family was middle class. Her parents divorced before she was two years old, thus Debbie was raised by her mom, grandmother and a few aunts, but later adopted. She has a half-sister Loretta Scarlett Rowe.
From 1982 to 1988 Rowe was married to Richard Edelman. Debbie was working in Dr. Arnold Klein`s dermatology office when she met Michael Jackson, who was being treated for vitiligo, a condition causing depigmentation of the parts of the skin. Until 1996, Michael Jackson had been married to Lisa Marie Presley. Debbie now recalls that Michael was very sad during his treatment as he said he might never become a father. Debbie was his fan, one thing lead to another and Debbie became pregnant in 1996. Later on the same year the couple married in Sydney, Australia. This marriage later became the main source of Debbie Rowe’s current net worth.
The next year the couple welcomed their first son, Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr., also known as Prince Michael Jackson I. Currently, Michael Joseph is a popular TV star and actor. In 1998 the family welcomed a daughter, Paris-Michael Katherine Jackson. She is also an American TV personality and actress, appearing in “London`s Bridge and the Three Keys” (2014).
Rowe had neither great net worth nor had she ever been a public person until she married Michael Jackson. When the couple divorced in 1999, Debbie received a house in Beverly Hills, California. as well as an $8 million settlement. At first, Debbie resigned full custody of the children to Jackson, however, a couple of years later Debbie asked a private judge to reinstate her parental rights following unproven accusations of child abuse against her ex-husband. In 2006, Debbie sued Jackson for children support, total sums of $195,000 and $50,000. It was resolved that Jackson pay her $60,000 in legal fees.
It is known that in 2005 Debbie sold the house in Beverly Hills for $1.3 million, and bought another house in Palmdale, California where she currently resides.
Jackson died in 2009. There were rumours that Rowe is not the children`s biological mother. She wanted to deny all such backbiting, thus she made statements and reports with the help of her attorney. In 2009, for defamation and invasion of privacy, Debbie received $27,000 in damages.
What is interesting, Debbie was parodied in “Tracey Ullman`s State of the Union”, the comedy series created by Tracey Ullman and directed by Troy Miller.
