You Can't Take It- But You Can Earn It

Since it is The Day of the Dead, I thought I would pass on the report from Forbes Magazine last week about the top earning dead celebrities.

Surprisingly, it is neither Michael Jackson nor Elvis.

It is Yves St. Laurent. Fashion wins out.

So does musical theater as the team of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein is #2.

Michael Jackson is #3 with his one-time father-in-law, Elvis Presley at #4.

Then you have

• Lord of the Rings author, J.R.R. Tolkien
• Peanuts creator, Charles Schulz
• Beatle John Lennon
• Theodor Geisel, aka Dr. Seuss
• Albert Einstein (that's a surprise) and
• author Michael Crichton.
