Jackson top earner
Print Edition
Michael Jackson regained the title of the highest-earning dead celebrity in the past year, easily surpassing Elvis Presley and cartoonist Charles Schulz, Forbes magazine said on Wednesday.
After being pushed into second place by Elizabeth Taylor last year, Jackson, who died in 2009, was back on top with earnings of some US$160 million in the 12 months from October 2012 to 2013.
“He earned the bulk of his bucks from two Cirque du Soleil shows, his Mijac Music catalog, recorded music sales and his half of the Sony/ATV publishing empire — which includes the copyright to hits by the Beatles, Lady Gaga, Eminem and Taylor Swift, among others,” according to the Forbes report.
