For the 2nd consecutive year, Michael Jackson has been leading the list of the 'Richest dead Artists', so published the 'Forbes' magazine, specialist in Edition of Fortunes, MJ 'earned' last year near 120 million € from the sale of his discs of unedited songs, the rights of his images, the music tour with his themes and the spectacle 'Circo del Sol', which used his melodies ... continuously enriching the accounts of his heirs.
Together with him appear on the podium was Elvis Presley, died 34 years ago, who gave his family near 39 and half million net income last year; while Marilyn Monroe, passed away close to half a century ago, added more than 19 million in the past 12 months.
Following these 3 super stars, was the comic/cartoon artist Charles Schulz (I absolutely adore him), John Lennon whose molar tooth alone had fetched 8 & half million €. (Take note: always keep your fallen teeth), and next, Elizabeth Taylor, in merely a few months had achieved the same quantity as Lennon, one of 'the Beatles.'
Those of the lesser mortals amongst us, many working a 12 to 14 hour day, some with hard labour, earn in Spain less than 700 € a month, with it to support the family the whole life time and, at death, often leave behind just not yet paid up mortgage and debts.
