The Jackson family wants FORTY BILLION DOLLARS from promoters AEG Live for allegedly working their boy to death--or, more specifically, hiring the wrong doctor--the Propofol-administering Dr. Conrad Murray--to look after him.

They arrived at the $40,000,000,000 number (looks pretty impressive when you write it out all the way, doesn't it?) this way:

-$10,000,000,000 for future lost earnings

-$30,000,000,000 in unspecified damages
