Celebrity earnings

Long live the king

Aug 16th 2007
From Economist.com

THE King may be dead, but his earning power is in rude health. In the year to October 2006, Elvis Presley raked in an estimated $42m, according to Forbes magazine's annual list of top-earning dead celebrities. Only Kurt Cobain, another troubled music star who died young, earned more. But this may prove to be a temporary de-throning—Elvis has topped all five previous lists, and over that time has earned an estimated $239m. Charles Schulz, who created the “Peanuts” cartoon strip, is his nearest rival.
