CHEI!!! MICHAEL JACKSON IS THE HIGHEST PAID DEAD CELEBRITY!

Late legendary Pop star Michael Jackson has
been named as the top-earning dead celebrity.
American business magazine Forbes put the King
of Pop atop its 2016 list of Top-Earning Dead
Celebrities.
Jackson’s lucrative empire only seems to grow
even nine years after his demise.
According to a report by UK’s The Guardian, he
raked in a bumper $825 million in earnings for
the 12 months ending October 1.
Jackson’s earnings came mostly from the
Jackson estate’s $750 million sale of the late
singer’s remaining stake in the Sony/ATV music
publishing catalogue which includes the rights to
many Beatles songs to Sony Corporation.
Forbes’s estimates were based on pre-tax
income, before management and legal expenses,
and were compiled through interviews with
estate experts and data on record sales, touring
and movie earnings.
Number 2 on the list is cartoonist Charles
Schulz , who is best known his iconic Peanuts
franchise.
