Michael Jackson Named Top-Earning Dead Celebrity

He suddenly passed away last year at the young age of 51-years-old, but Michael Jackson's selling power continues to be as dominant as ever.

The King of Pop has been named as having the highest posthumous celebrity earnings in the world with the total being somewhere around a staggering $275 million.

As a matter of fact, Jackson's earnings eclipse the combined total of the other twelve dead celebrity listings on Forbes' annual offering.

Rounding out the top five were Elvis Presley($60 million), ?The Lord of the Rings? author J.R.R. Tolkien ($50 million), ?Peanuts? comic mastermind Charles Schulz ($33 million) and Beatles frontman John Lennon ($17 million).
