It's Billie Jean vs. Titanic, and AEG claims the ship wins hands down. Translation -- AEG is trying to convince the Michael Jackson jury that Celine Dion is bigger than MJ.

AEG exec John Meglin is on the stand in the wrongful death case, scoffing at the Jackson family's claim that Michael would have earned $1.5 billion had he lived.

Meglin told the jury it's his opinion Celine is a bigger star and therefore more bankable than MJ ever would have been. Yet according to reports, Celine is worth a measly $400 mil.

Fun facts: Jackson ranks #3 in most albums sold worldwide -- more than a billion (behind the Beatles and Elvis) . Celine ranks #9 at 200 million albums.

As a Celine stan, I dont agree on her being "bigger". But, her longevity and continued success compared to her contemporaries is nothing but incredible, and she is definitely more marketable as most AC artists tend to be.

She remains a worldwide force 30 years into her career, and $400 Million for someone who doesn't write or produce most of their material is certainly not measly .

And her Vegas deals are being extended for even longer. so she'll continue raking in the coins and multi-million dollar contracts

The delusion...

The delusion LMAO.

wut ??!

Girl...

They better stan for the queen!

But, no. Even as a stan, I have to disagree. But, she's definitely in the top 5.

It's called an accent

Légende!!!!!!!

NO she's not. But her POWER and longevity are undeniable..

Uh, no. She's nowhere near that MJ status.

The power of celine

But no .

I agree

She probably was more bankable than he was before his death, even with that tour.

p.s. Jackson's net worth was only in the range of $400 million before his death, and he carried $500 million in debt. His most valuable asset was the portion of the Beatles' catalog that he owned.

OK.
