Dead and Raking it In
Some celebrities are so hot they just keep on earning, even years after they leave this mortal coil. British newspaper The Guardian pays tribute to these retail powerhouses this week with a list of the top-earning dead celebrities of 2009.
Leading the ranks of musicians generating cash by the ton from the grave is, unsurprisingly, Michael Jackson - third overall among his celebrity peers. The King of Pop has a musician from another age close on his heels in the number four position: Elvis Presley. Rounding out the list for Team Music are John Lennon in the seventh slot (with the Beatles Remastered to thank, no doubt) and Jimi Hendrix in eleventh.
See the whole list at the Guardian's web site.Which other artists would you have expected to see on the list?
