Even in death, late king of pop Michael
Jackson still remains the highest-paid dead
American music star, as he earns $825
million in 2016.
According to Forbes, the reason the late
music star made that much revenue was
because of his estate’s decision to sell his
half-share of the Beatles catalogue to Sony
for $750 million. The Thriller star had
purchased the rights to the Fab Four’s
music back in 1984 for $47.5 million and
then sold 50 percent of it to Sony in 1995
for $115 million.
