Michael Jackson Makes Bank From Beyond The Grave
It’s hard to believe that it’s only been 4 months since the passing of Michael Jackson.
It’s somewhat harder to believe that in that time frame, he has become the third top-grossing dead celebrity this year!
Beating out the likes of Elvis Presley and John Lennon, Forbes is clocking Michael as having earned $90 million posthumously. Most of that is due to the countless merchandising deals and the rights to the use of his name and likeness in the new film This Is It. However, he also made millions from album sales, radio airplay and music video marathons from the weeks following his death.
Michael was only beat out by acclaimed fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent and Broadway buffs Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein, whose earnings were combined.
Crazy!

Re: mathisol –
He can't use any ol picture because he got sued for doing that. He uses photos from WENN (image via WENN). I saw the movie last night and it was BRILLIANT. I loved the acapella for SPEECHLESS.
I actually like that picture of MJ as it represents to me where he should have stopped all the surgeries. I would expect MJ to be at the top or very near the top of that list for many years to come.
…I outsold him. My latest rehashed compilation 40/40 was #1. With my brother Richard at the helm he is milking every bloody penny out of my voice and is making millions.

I love you Michael. I miss you so much.
It's not so hard to believe. What? Is it a black thang? For what it's worth Perez, I like this pic of MJ. Any pic of MJ is likable. In as much as he tried to alter his looks, he was still the finest thang to ever walk this earth.
