Forbes' Top-Earning Dead Celebs

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

While some celebrities max out their earning potential young and drift off into relative obscurity, others keep earning long after their deaths -- or at least, their estates keep earning by using their name, likeness or works. All totaled, the 13 earners on Forbes' list of the Top-Earning Dead Celebrities made nearly $250 million in the past 12 months. Some of the celebs on the list are icons, like Elvis, and their earning power continues at a steady place. Others, like musicians and actors, depend on how their estates have been managing things. A freshly printed "greatest hits" album could get them back on top, while in an off year they might not even come close to the $7 million or so needed to be considered a top earner. This year's list includes:

1. Kurt Cobain -- $50M
2. Elvis Presley -- $42M
3. Charles M. Schulz -- $35M
4. John Lennon -- $24M
5. Albert Einstein -- $20M
6. Andy Warhol -- $19M
7. Dr. Seuss -- $10M
8. Ray Charles -- $10M
9. Marilyn Monroe -- $8M
10. Johnny Cash -- $8M
11. J.R.R Tolkien -- $7M
12. George Harrison -- $7M
13. Bob Marley -- $7M
