Late pop singer Michael Jackson has again been named the top-earning dead celebrity. He topped Forbes’ 2019 list after his estate made over £46 million in the last 12 months.
This is the seventh year in a row that Jackson who died in 2009 at 50 would be topping the list.
According to Forbes, Jackson’s streaming “surged” despite the scandal, to “2.1 billion US spins, up from 1.8 billion a year ago”.
“With proceeds flowing from his Mijac Music catalogue, a Las Vegas show and a long-term deal with Sony, he retains his post mortem cash crown for the seventh consecutive year,” said the publication.
