Michael Jackson has remained the top-grossing dead celebrity for the third year in a row, earning $115m (€105m) during the last year, according to Forbes' annual index.
The 'King of Pop' brought in twice as much as the original 'King' - Elvis Presley - who is in second place.
His properties earned $55m (€50) during the year - this was helped by the release of the Elvis Presley Forever compilation album.
Michael Jackson's estate benefited from the release of his second posthumous studio album, Xscape. It topped charts around the world.
A hologram of the musician also performed at the Billboard Music Awards.
Charles Schulz, the creator of the Peanuts comics was the next highest earner in third place.
He is followed by Bob Marley, who's estate have been keen to maximise returns on his name and likeness.
They have launched House of Marley which makes eco-friendly audio and lifestyle products, and the Marley Beverage company.
His family even hope to cash in on the spreading legalisation, and decriminalisation of recreational cannabis use by investing in 'Marley Natural' - a cannabis company which hopes to be the first global distributer of the drug.
Albert Einstein is one of the more surprising names on the list. He died in 1955, but sales of official Einstein merchandise, including mugs, posters and bobblehead dolls made $11m.
The rights to his estate are owned by the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
