This is depressing. Forbes.com released its annual roster of "Top-Earning Dead Celebrities" yesterday.
Kurt Cobain, who has now been dead for more than 12 years, topped the list by earning $50 million dollars in the last 12 months. Of course, most of this money was made when Courtney Love sold off 25% of his rights.
He topped Elvis, who has been dead for over 29 years, and had held the top spot for the last 6, this year coming in second to Cobain with $42 million.
Others on the list:
John Lennon who will be dead for 26 years in December, still managed to earn $24 million.
Marilyn Monroe has been dead for over 44 years but earned $8 million.
Albert Einstein has been dead for 51 years, but he still came in 5th place on the list by earning $20 million.
What am I doing wrong?
