Michael Jackson’s posthumous documentary and CD ‘This Is It’ is released this week, and PopEater is saying if history is any guide, his estate stands to make a lot of money. Since his death in June, 9 million Jackson albums have been sold — which means he’s already beaten John Lennon and Elvis Presley in his fourth act.
PopEater is reporting that actors like Marilyn Monroe and Heath Ledger also earned a whopping amount of money after they died. In a dead celebrity shocker, Forbes just announced its list for 2009, with deceased fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent topping the dead celebs at $350 million. (They auctioned off his estate, which contained all his fancy stuff-art, furniture, and clothing.)
MJ debuted at number 3, and the year isn’t even done. To read more of this story visit PopEater
