See the top 5 list


1. Michael Jackson ($115 million)
He’s still the King of Pop even in death.
This year, Michael Jackson leads Forbes list
of highest earning dead celebrities with an
estimated $1 billion since his death,
according to Forbes.
The superstar pa$$ed away in 2009 but has
raked in more than $115 million in album
and merchandise sales in the last year alone.
2. Elvis Presley ($55 million)
Holding steady at $55 million. The late King
of Rock n’ Roll has been making more money
than most living stars and thanks to his
Graceland ticket sales.
3. Charles Schulz ($40 million)
The ‘Peanuts’ creator has a cut of licensing
revenue from the popular comic to thank for
his huge paychecks. Charlie Brown and Co.
are now hitting the big screen in a 3-D flick,
The Peanuts Movie, out in November 2015.
4. Bob Marley ($21 million)
This reggae legend is becoming quite a
businessman even in death. How is Bob
Marley still raking in $21 million a year? Well
his beverage company (Marley Beverage
company ‘home to relaxation drink’), audio
and lifestyle products coupled with music
pays the money.
5. Elizabeth Taylor ($20 million)
The legendary actress remains the titan of a
celebrity fragrance business. At $20 million a
year – one could say Taylor is stinking rich. Of
course, the major source of that income is
her fragrance, White Diamonds.
