Top 5 Dead Celebs' Earnings
Do you know: The thirteen celebrities on Forbes’ latest list earned US$232 million during the past 12 months – all from beyond the grave! Yeah, right, dead but still churning the earnings!!
Now, to qualify for a spot on the seventh annual Top-Earning Dead Celebrities list, the star’s estate had to earn at least US$3.5 million between October 2006 and October 2007.
With US$49 million, Elvis reclaims the top spot after being bumped to No. 2 last year by Kurt Cobain, who debuted on the list at No. 1 but didn’t make the cut this year. Here are the five biggest posthumous moneymakers...
1. Elvis Presley (died 1977) - US$49 million
2. John Lennon (died 1980) - US$44 million
3. Charles M. Schulz (died 2000) - US$35 million
4. George Harrison (died 2001) - US$22 million
5. Albert Einstein (died 1955) - US$18 million
.
If you noticed, the top 1, 2 and 4th spots are taken by dead musicians/ singers. Now you know why I tried so hard to get into the NUSS Karaoke Competition, right? But then again, looking at the age and ways they died, I rather be the dead scientist.
.
I will put up their individual profile over the next 5 days. Enjoy.
