American civil rights activist Jesse Jackson has been hospitalized after suffering from supranuclear palsy (PSP) - The Rainbow PUSH Coalition, which he founded, informed on Wednesday.
In a statement, the organisation said,
"He has been managing this neurodegenerative condition for more than a decade. He was originally diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease; however, last April, his PSP condition was confirmed. The family appreciates all prayers at this time.
PSP is a rare neurological disorder that affects the body and eye movements, particularly impairing walking and balance. The condition is degenerative and often leads to serious disability within two to three years after diagnosis.
What is Jesse Jackson’s net worth?
Jesse Jackson was a former Shadow US Senator, DC, and a protege of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. According to Celebrity Net Worth, his net worth stands at $4 million. Along with his efforts in political activism, Jackson was a Baptist minister and became the second African American to mount a serious campaign for a major party's nomination in 1984. Working with Martin Luther King Jr. in the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), he went on to start his own organizations, Operation PUSH (People United to Save Humanity) in 1971 and the National Rainbow Coalition in 1984.
To further his career and skills, he went beyond politics in 1992 when he started hosting CNN's "Both Sides with Jesse Jackson" till 2000, expanding his reach to media and television.
The majority of his assets are under his wife, Jacqueline's, name. According to an article in the Chicago Tribune in 1987, the family owned assets valued at $400-600,000 at the time, which, after considering inflation, today would be around $1.2 – $1.7 million.
In 2017, the 84-year-old announced his Parkinson's diagnosis and was admitted to the hospital after testing positive for COVID-19 in 2021, and again after falling and hitting his head.
