Every year Forbes releases their highest earning celebrities who are no longer with us and every year it seems to be Michael Jackson who is at the top of the list. It’s crazy how it’s not even close either. Although he passed away almost 10 years ago, he earned $75 million last year! This marks five years in a row that he has led the list.
In terms of singers and performers, we see two big ones also in the top five. Elvis Presley and Bob Marley come in at four and five with $35 million and $23 million respectively.
Michael Jackson spent many of years at the top of the entertainment world when he was alive and even now he’s still earning ridiculous amounts of money.
