Five years after his death, singer
Michael Jackson is still generating a fortune. And according to Forbes 2014 list
of highest earning dead celebrities, Michael is currently the highest, raking
in an estimated US$140 million (S$178 million) in the past year for his estate.
He earned more than twice as much as singer Elvis Presley, who
died in 1977 and came in second with US$55 million, and three times more than
cartoonist and Peanuts comic strip creator Charles Schulz, who took third place
with US$40 million.
"Few celebrities prove the
point that there is (financial) life after death better than Michael
Jackson," Forbes said.
It is Jackson's second straight year atop the list. He regained the title in
2013, a year after being pushed into second place by actress Elizabeth Taylor
