Nothing stops a dead man from raking in more cash, but how does he do it?Late Michael Jackson is on top of Forbes' current 2014 List of Highest Earning Dead Celebrities.The legendary pop star raked in an estimated$140 million in the past year for his estate. According to Forbes, the late King of Pop has beated Rock n Roll legend Elvis Presley's record earning more than twice of what the star is earning in death. It is Jackson's second straight year atop the list. He regained the title in 2013, a year after being pushed into second place by actress Elizabeth Taylor. However, Presely landed on the second spot bringing in $55 million after his death in 1997 which is three times more than cartoonist and Peanuts comic strip creator Charles Schulz, who occupied the third place with US$40 million. "Few celebrities prove the point that there is (financial) life after death better than Michael Jackson," Forbes said. Who doesn't want to be M.J in death... put your hands up!
