Besides being dead, they're all rich as hell.For number 3 and 5, that's where the comparisons end. The other three?
A heroin addicted rock and roller who blew his brains out with a shotgun, leaving behind a child and a heroin addicted wife / sometimes mother who earned 50 mil last year from her dead husband's work is the leader this year of the Forbes 2006 dead celeb earnings list.
This feat beat out the original world famous rocker who had everything anyone could want, was also a hopeless drug addict that died on a gold plated toilet seat after throwing it all away who earned 42 mil. just this past year after many years as the King of Rock & The Dead Celebrity earnings list.
At least the next three on the list were a little more normal in a sense although number 4 might have (although hopefully not) ended up like 1 & 2 eventually had some nutjob wackball not ended his exeptionally gifted life so prematurely.
Too bad Shakespeare didn't have a better agent.....
Cobain dethrones Elvis as highest-paid dead celebrity - Puget Sound Business Journal (Seattle):: "The King has been dethroned by a case of the grunge, but maybe not for long.
For the past five years, Elvis Presley has held the No. 1 spot as the highest-earning dead celebrity, but he's now in second place behind Kurt Cobain, who was lead singer of Seattle grunge band Nirvana.
The list published Tuesday has been compiled for six years by Forbes, which this year says that in the 12 months ending October 2006, Cobain will have generated $50 million. Elvis brought in $42 million, a 7 percent decline compared to $45 million the year before." read more
