Being Dead Doesn’t Stop These Famous Folks From Making Money. Here Are The Top Earning Dead Celebrties.

Just in time for Halloween, its the “Forbes” list of top earning dead celebrities. Who brought in more money than any other deceased celebrity last year? May I have the envelope please. And the winner is Elizabeth Taylor. Liz exhumed 210 million bucks last year topping the list of celebrities who are no longer of this world. She surpassed her long time pal Michael Jackson who earned a substantial sum of 145 million dollars last year. Most of Ms. Taylor’s money came from the sale of jewelry, costumes and art sold at auction last year. The rest of the dough came from Taylor’s property, residual movie sales and the sale of Taylor’s White Diamonds perfume.
