Top earning dead celebrities

[Pflugerville Ag]

This is a pretty intersting list. It is the top 5 dead celebrites that made the most money this year.

#1: Kurt Cobain: $50M
#2: Elvis: $42M
#3: Charles Shultz: $35M
#4: John Lennon: $24M
#5: Albert Einstein: $20M

That is crazy that some of these guys still make that much. Must be nice to be the owner of their estates.

That really is wierd. I'd love to make 1m alive!?

Einstein was the one that surprised me. I know how popular the "Baby Einstein" and "Little Einstein" DVDs are, but making that much off of them is crazy.

I need to make a "Baby P-Ville's" DVD.

Albert Einsein was a celebrity? Who knew Physics was considered entertainment?

Even nerds need to have their fun.

Errrr. I know, I sure do. I want to research the physics of sex.

[The Massacre]

dang, i would have thought Elvis was ahead of Kurt

[Pflugerville Ag]

Elvis is always #1. The only reason Kurt was #1 this year is b/c he widow (Courtney Love) sold the rights to his songs to a company for close to $50M. Next year, he will be nowhere near the top of the list.
