New York - Michael Jackson died eight years ago, but he's still generating millions of dollars.
Jackson is atop the Forbes list of top-earning dead celebrities for the fifth straight year, with $75m. Forbes says Jackson's earnings are boosted by a new greatest hits album, a Las Vegas Cirque du Soleil show and a stake in the EMI music publishing catalogue.
Two other singers join Jackson in the top five. Elvis Presley comes in fourth with $35m and Bob Marley ranks fifth with $23m.
Golf legend Arnold Palmer is the second-highest earner. He brought in $40m in part through sales of Arizona lemonade and ice tea beverage made in his name.
Palmer is followed by Charles Schulz. The creator of the Peanuts franchise made $38m.
