Late King of pop Michael
Jackson topped the Forbes' list of highest-earning dead celebrities for the
seventh year in a row, raking in $60million since October 2018.
Michael Jackson died in 2009 of homicide which involve taking
a combination of drugs.
In the list published this
week, Michael Jackson's music streams increased to 2.1 billion in the US,
compared to 1.8 billion the year before. His Mijac Music catalog, Sony deal,
and a Las Vegas show have also continued to contribute to his fortune.
American rapper Nipsey
Hussle, who was shot and killed on March 31, also made it to the list at the
No. 10 spot with $11 million.
The publication notes that
"The Life" hit-maker netted most of the money from the rights to his
music as his songs were streamed 1.85 billion times, the third-most of any act
on the list. He also ran a clothing company, Marathon Clothing, during his
life, though it's unknown how much the money made from his clothing business
made up his earning in the last 12 months.
