Michael Jackson named top-earning dead celebrity
Written by . Published: October 24 2013
Michael Jackson has been named the top-earning dead celebrity of 2013.
The administrators of the King of Pop's estate have brought in an estimated $160 million in the past year, according to Forbes magazine, thanks to deals with Cirque du Soleil and recorded music sales.
Jackson beats Elvis Presley, whose daughter Lisa-Marie was once the
pop star's wife, and Peanuts cartoonist Charles M Schulz, who comes
in third with a $37 million fortune.
Elizabeth Taylor and reggae star Bob Marley round out the top
five.
Ironically, Jackson topped the very much alive Madonna on the pop
fortune list - the Material Girl singer was named the top earner on
the 2013 celebrity 100 list, with $125 million in earnings.
