It is nice to think about the positive impact that many now deceased celebrities have had on the world. It is also crazy to look at how much money they are still making years after passing away! Just in time for Halloween, a spooky new study shows the 10 top earning dead celebrities are topped by Michael Jackson.

Maybe the craziest part is that the top earning living celebrity was Madonna and she only made about $100 million,,,that is substantially less than #1 on the dead list from Forbes!

  1. Michael Jackson,  $160 million
  2. Elvis,  $55 million
  3. Charles Schulz,  $37 million
  4. Elizabeth Taylor,  $25 million
  5. Bob Marley,  $18 million
  6. Marilyn Monroe,  $15 million
  7. John Lennon,  $12 million
  8. Albert Einstein and Bettie Page,  $10 million
  9. Dr. Seuss and Steve McQueen,  $9 million
  10. Bruce Lee and Jenni Rivera,  $7 million
