It's no surprise that celebrities can make a lot of money for a lot of people. But what is surprising is how much money they can still make after they have died. According to Forbes latest list of the highest-paid dead celebrities, the total amount of money made by the 13 most profitable dead celebrities in 2021 was nearly $1 billion: triple the amount from the previous year. Revenue is calculated by looking at sales of the dead celebrity's work, deals made with the owners of their estates, and other types of income made from their work in the 12 months since the last list was released in October of the previous year. Forbes has been producing the list every year since October 2001. The highest earner on the list, children's author Roald Dahl, made more money than the other 12 celebrities combined with $513 million. In September 2021, Netflix paid a reported $684 million for the Roald Dahl Story Company, of which around 75% goes to Dahl's estate. In second place is the singer and songwriter Prince, whose living family members sold around 43% of his estate to music company Primary Wave for $120 million. The deal includes such famous songs as "When Doves Cry," "1999" and "When You Were Mine," as well as several unreleased songs. In third place was Michael Jackson, with $75 million, making it the first year he has not taken the top spot since 2012. Other high earners on the list include Peanuts creator Charles Schulz, children's author Dr. Seuss, golfer Arnold Palmer, and musicians Elvis Presley, Bob Marley and John Lennon.
