According to recent Forbes list compilation of top earning dead celebreties, Jackson’s estate brought in $170 million from sales of his music and his stake in the Sony/ATV catalog. That’s a big drop from the $275 million Jackson earned in the previous 12 months but it’s still enough to make him the second highest-earning pop act over the past year, dead or alive, after U2.
Following closely at No. 2 is Elvis Presley a singer and Actor who Died on Aug. 16, 1977 Aged 42 with $55 million. The list also includes, Marilyn Monroe with $27 million followed by Charles Schulz a cartoonist who died in Feb. 12, 2000 aged 77 raking in $25 million. Hopefully Yours sincerely will make the list someday. Maybe i need to stop dreaming. :)
