Elvis is once again the highest earning dead celebrity. Well, unless you count Jesus I suppose. But we don't. As previously reported, Presley last year lost his crown as the dead celeb who generates the most money after that multi-million dollar publishing deal, in which Courtney Love sold 25% of her stake in the Nirvana catalogue to Primary Wave, meant that Kurt Cobain went straight in at the top of the dead celeb rich list. But with no similar deal done this year, the Nirvana frontman doesn't even appear in the Forbes.com compiled list this time. No, the ten dead celebs earning the most cash are the more usual suspects this year, with the chart looking like this...
Elvis Presley - $49m
John Lennon - $44m
Charles M Schulz - $35m
George Harrison - $22m
Albert Einstein - $18m
Andy Warhol - $15m
Theodor Geisel (Dr Seuss) - $13m
Tupac Shakur - $9m
Marilyn Monroe - $7m
Steve McQueen - $6m
