The list of dead celebrity revenue makers just came out. (The trailing number is last year's position)
1. Kurt Cobain (new)
2. Elvis Presley (1)
3. Charles M. Schulz (2)
4. John Lennon (3)
5. Albert Einstein (new - way to go, Al!)
6. Andy Warhol (4)
7. Dr. Seuss (Theodor Geisel) (5)
8. Ray Charles (13)
9. Marilyn Monroe (7)
10. Johnny Cash (10)
I find this very interesting when you think of which of these celebs either died directly from or had major scandals involving chemical abuse. The "clean" dead celebs are Schulz, Einstein and Suess. The other seven were all heavy users.
Moral of the story: if you are gonna die and want to keep earning, pick up a habit! And if its good for you dead, how can it not be good for you alive?
