Paris Jackson, the daughter of the iconic Michael Jackson, has spent her life in the public eye. After navigating personal challenges in the wake of her father’s passing in 2009, Paris is now carving her own niche in the music industry and candidly discussing her upbringing. Born on April 3, 1998, she was homeschooled until the sixth grade, as Michael Jackson took great care to shield his children from the spotlight.
Reflecting on her childhood, Paris noted that her father worked hard to ensure they were “cultured,” introducing them to both luxury and the stark realities of life in developing countries. He also emphasized the importance of hard work; as Paris recalled, *“If we wanted five toys, we had to read five books.”* While she appreciates the privileges of her upbringing, Paris is committed to establishing her own identity beyond just being the daughter of the King of Pop.
