Michael purchasing the entire Beatles' catalog after McCartney bragged about making money from music he didn't write is one of the greatest ironic tales ever.

I can just imagine Michael Jackson telling Paul, in that innocent childlike voice, "I took your advice and it's really working great for me!" and Paul just fuming mad.

People will still be talking about this hundreds of years from now.

There is an interview where Paul mimics Michael saying "I'm going to buy The Beatles catalog". Paul at that time thought Michael was joking.

And obviously Paul knows it to be true at the time of this interview.
