1. Michael Jackson
Earnings: $160 million
Occupation: Singer
Died: June 25, 2009
Age: 50
Cause: Overdose/homicide
The King of Pop reclaims his post-mortem cash crown after ceding it last year to pal Elizabeth Taylor. He earned the bulk of his bucks from two Cirque du Soleil shows, his Mijac Music catalogue, recorded music sales and his half of the Sony/ATV publishing empire — which includes the copyright to hits by the Beatles, Lady Gaga, Eminem and Taylor Swift, among others.
