Did you know that some
celebrities are still earning mega money even after they’ve gone? Here’s some of
their earnings.
Michael Jackson is by far the
biggest posthumous earner, raking in an estimated $160 million (£98.7 million)
thanks to his own vast discography and his ownership of much of the Beatles',
Eminem's and Lady Gaga's back catalogues. He even has a Cirque du Soleil show
in his name.
Remarkably, Jackson's earnings
dwarf those of the highest-earning living star. According to Forbes' own
Celebrity 100 list, Madonna tops that list with a paltry $125 million (£77.1
million) income between June 2012 and June 2013
Jackson is followed by Elvis - $55m
Charles M Schulz, creator of the much-loved
Peanuts comic strip, died 13 years ago, but his cartoons remain in demand
around the world. The family-friendly characters helped Schulz earn $37 million
in the past year.
Elizabeth Taylor is next with £15.5million
from her perfume, property etc.
Bob Marley follows with £11 million
