Every year since 2001, Forbes has put out a list of the top-earning dead celebrities. With the exception of 2006, when Kurt Cobain was numero uno, Elvis Presley has topped the list. This year, Elvis Presley earned $52 million dollars, an amazing $12 million dollars more than the very alive Madonna. Also staples on the list, Charles M. Schulz, John Lennon, Albert Einstein, Andy Warhol, Theodor "Dr. Seuss" Geisel, Marilyn Monroe and Bob Marley.
