Michael Jackson's name has lived on six years after his death in June 25, 2009.

In his sixth year anniversary, it was found out that the diva finally recovered from his financial loses and state of bankruptcy.

TMZ said that this recovery was made possible with the staggering $2 billion from the income of MJ's estate, movie projects ("This is It," the Cirque show "Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour) and album sales that has reached 50 million.

But the $2 billion still has to be paid for expenses and taxes leaving at least $450 million.

The news source also recalled that MJ has debts amounting to $500 million before his death.

Still, there are other sources of income like ventures on Sony.

For his children, each one of them is estimated to get at least $100 million if the amount will be liquidated this year. However, this won't happen as it has been previously agreed that the money will be distributed as they grow older.

As for commemorating his death anniversary, Michael Jackson's music and facts about his life have been hitting the airwaves and the Internet on June 25, CNN said.

Fans also expressed their fondness in different ways for the late pop diva.

The acapella group Pentatonix, for example, made a mashup video entitled "The Evolution of Michael Jackson" consisting of the artistic blending of 25 of MJ's songs.

Some stick to traditional ways such as paying a visit in the superstar's grave in Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California or sending roses (with a twist!) by paying an amount through Paypal for roses and some messages of remembrance on a memorial page of a website who annually sponsored an event called "A Rose For Michael Jackson."

Many also believed that the King of Pop made his fans feel his presence during his death anniversary.

In Goochland County, central Virginia, ominous clouds have formed to something that looks like a man (thought to be Michael Jackson) moonwalking in the sky, Mail Online said.

John Plashal, 45, the man who took the photos insisted that he never altered the photo.

"The image that you see of Michael Jackson just happens to be there. It's pretty wild. I didn't know what I had until this morning, to be honest with you, when my phone started blowing up," he said during an interview with CBS.
