Staggering......how much this dead man has earned

[Dave7]

Unbelievable but........ 'Michael Jackson' earned £331M last year.
He has earned £1.9 BILLION since he died.
Elvis Presley made a mere £31M last year

Great career move.

Well if he had any sense he would just leave it to a certain Dave7

Jacko is an interesting one.

Adverse publicity and ridiculous spending meant he was close to being skint when he died.

It took a few years, but those looking after his estate turned it around big style.

However, the US revenue was chasing $700m in taxes and penalties.

The estate sold some of its music publishing interests for a reported $285m earlier this year, so maybe they had a bill to pay.

In his case I certainly did.

I reckon you'd get on better with most people when they're dead.....

I wonder if Paul Gadd will see a posthumous sales boost?

Only if his estate is selling tickets to dance on his grave, I suspect

As a comparison, I wonder how much Quincy Jones earns ?

Ah, never mind.

I daresay his agent will just chuck all the dash in the grave for MJ to enjoy.
