Agreed.

Not too much happening on the CD/DVD/BluRay front for our boy this year, outside of the ever-faithful collectors scene.

The Concert Tour & the Luhrmann documentary are still in the pipeline, so any earnings from those will count in next year's Forbes figures.

Also, i'm pretty sure John Lennon earns a lot more than what's listed here.

Jacko well down from 400m (2018) and 75m (2017).
Elvis holding steady from 40m (2018) and 35m (2017).

As usual, word on a decline in The King's fortune would appear fanciful.

Top Earning Dead Celebs - 2020.JPG


Elvis falls from 2 to 5 as the Corona Virus reduces the income from Graceland this year.

Nipsy Hussle, XXTenacion & Whitney Houston have dropped out of the 13 this year.

They have been replaced by: Kobe Bryant, Juice Wrid & Freddie Mercury.

Forbes Best-Selling Dead Celebs for 2021:

People reading more during the pandemic has no doubt helped Roald Dahl this year.

The Prince estate made a large one-off sale which has improved his position this year.

The pandemic has reduced admissions to Graceland which normally contributes most to Elvis' total.

Sad to see him down at No.7 this year.

Great hopes for our boy to do better in the 2022 figures !

Prince's high position was a one-off.

Graceland should show better returns with the Covid restrictions having been lessened.

The Baz Luhrmann 'Elvis' film has generated a lot of publicity & interest this year.

The Forbes figures normally come out around October each year.
