Michael Jackson Remains Highest Earning Dead Celebrity

It's over two years since the King of Pop,
Michael Jackson, died but he is still killing
it in the graveyard.
The iconic pop star, who died at 50, is
making more money than any other dead
celebrity in Hollywood, including Liz
Taylor and Elvis, according to Forbes.
The magazine just released its annual list
of top-earning dead celebrities and this
year, Michael Jackson took back the crown
from his good friend and fellow dead-
person Liz Taylor, last year's top-earner.
Here's the breakdown according to the
mag: 1) Michael Jackson, $160 million 2)
Elvis, $55 million3) Charles Schulz, $37
million4) Liz Taylor, $25 million5) Bob
Marley, $18 million.
MJ was No. 2 last year, but two successful
Jacko-inspired Cirque du Soleil shows
have shot the King of Pop back to the top.
Besides Liz Taylor's drop, the rest of the
list contains the usual suspects, Einstein,
Marilyn Monroe, Bruce Lee, but there is
one notable new name — Mexican singer
Jenni Rivera, who died in a plane crash
back in 2012.
