Michael Jacksons kassiert posthum weiter Millionen
Liste der verstorbenen Künstler mit höchstem Einkommen
Von Carl de Souza | AFP – vor 1 Stunde 42 Minuten


Michael Jackson nimmt auch nach seinem Tod weiter Millionensummen ein. Einer Auflistung …

Sie sind tot, ihre Konten füllen sich aber weiter: Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley und Marilyn Monroe sind auf einer Liste des US-Magazins "Forbes" die drei verstorbenen Künstler, die in den vergangenen Monaten posthum am meisten Geld verdienten. Der Aufstellung zufolge kam Jackson seit Oktober vergangenen Jahres auf 170 Millionen Dollar (122 Millionen Euro) und liegt damit deutlich vor Presley (55 Millionen Dollar) und Monroe (27 Millionen Dollar).

Die im Mai verstorbene Schauspielerin Liz Taylor steht erstmals auf der Liste und belegt mit posthumen Einnahmen in Höhe von zwölf Millionen Dollar den fünften Platz, den sie sich mit dem erschossenen Beatle John Lennon teilt. Vor den beiden Künstlern steht noch Charles Schulz, Schöpfer der Comicserie "Peanuts", mit 25 Millionen Dollar.

Um auf der Liste geführt zu werden, müssen verstorbene Künstler in den vergangenen zwölf Monaten mindestens sechs Millionen Dollar verdient haben. Bereits im vergangenen Jahr standen der King of Pop, Michael Jackson, und der King of Rock'n Roll, Elvis Presley, an der Spitze.

Michael Jackson Tops Forbes List of Top-Earning Deceased Celebrities for a Second Year



(Forbes) - It’s been two years since Michael Jackson passed away at the age of 50 but the King of Pop’s earning power shows no sign of waning.

For the second year in a row, Jackson tops our annual list of the Top-Earning Dead Celebrities. Over the past 12 months Jackson’s estate brought in $170 million from sales of his music and his stake in the Sony/ATV catalog. That’s a big drop from the $275 million Jackson earned in the previous 12 months but it’s still enough to make him the second highest-earning pop act over the past year, dead or alive, after U2.

Songwriters who own their own work usually fare best on our list because their catalogs can keep selling well long after they’ve passed away. But now there’s a new way for dead pop stars to earn big: Cirque Du Soleil.

Jackson headed out on tour again this month with the Cirque Du Soleil show Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour. If it’s successful, Jackson could net more touring in death than he did in life. Cirque and the King of Pop’s estate will split costs and profits evenly, and the cost of touring a Cirque show is less than that of a glitzy Michael Jackson round-the-world extravaganza. On top of that, the estate will collect performance royalties every night because the show uses his songs, most of which he has songwriting credits on.

The Top-Earning Dead Celebrities

It’s been two years since Michael Jackson passed away at the age of 50 but the King of Pop’s earning power shows no sign of waning. For the second year in a row, Jackson tops our annual list of the Top-Earning Dead Celebrities. Over the past 12 months Jackson’s estate brought in $170 million from sales of his music and his stake in the Sony/ATV catalog. That’s a big drop from the $275 million Jackson earned in the previous 12 months but it’s still enough to make him the second highest-earning pop act over the past year, dead or alive, after U2.

The 15 people on our list earned a combined $366 million between October 2010 and October 2011, which just goes to show that death is not the end when it comes to celebrities.

Songwriters who own their own work usually fare best on our list because their catalogs can keep selling well long after they’ve passed away. But now there’s a new way for dead pop stars to earn big: Cirque Du Soleil.

Jackson headed out on tour again this month with the Cirque Du Soleil show Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour. If it’s successful, Jackson could net more touring in death than he did in life. Cirque and the King of Pop’s estate will split costs and profits evenly, and the cost of touring a Cirque show is less than that of a glitzy Michael Jackson round-the-world extravaganza. On top of that, the estate will collect performance royalties every night because the show uses his songs, most of which he has songwriting credits on. (See: Michael Jackson And The Economics Of Touring After Death)

The Cirque show Viva Elvis helped Elvis Presley rank second on our list with $55 million. Of course Presley’s iconic songs, like “Hound Dog” and “Heartbreak Hotel,” still sell well and fans flock to Graceland. But a long-running Vegas show where tickets sell for as much as $175 a pop definitely gooses earnings. John Lennon, who ties for fifth on our list with $12 million, and George Harrison, tied for 13th with $6 million, both also benefited from Cirque. The show Love, based on Beatles music, has been running at The Mirage in Las Vegas since 2006.

For celebrities who don’t have a music catalog to profit from after death, it helps to have been incredibly glamorous. Elizabeth Taylor, who passed away in March, joins the list this year in fifth place (tied with Lennon) with $12 million. Most of that money comes from Taylor’s best-selling perfume White Diamonds. According to Euromonitor sales of the scent brought in $54 million in the U.S. alone in 2010. (See: Elizabeth Taylor: The Next Big Thing?)

Taylor’s estate is poised to earn much more in the coming months though when Christie’s auctions off the star’s jewels, art work and gowns starting Dec. 16. The jewels alone could bring in as much as $30 million. Taylor was so beloved that Christie’s has taken the items out on tour in the run-up to the auction.

Depending on how the executors of her estate decide to move forward with licensing her image, Taylor could soon become as big as Marilyn Monroe, who returns to our list with $27 million in earnings over the past year, ranking her third. Earlier this year Authentic Brand Management bought the rights to Monroe’s estate. The company, which also holds the rights to Bob Marley’s estate, is now trying to revamp the star’s image by going for more highbrow licensing deals like upscale clothing, fragrances and cosmetics. (See: Marilyn Monroe Makeover) A line of Marilyn Monroe cafes is in the works and don’t be surprised to see Monroe starring in films again. She’s already appeared opposite Charlize Theron in an ad for J’Adore perfume.

To place on this year’s list a deceased celebrity had to have earned at least $6 million between October 2010 and October 2011. To compile our list, we spoke to agents, lawyers and other sources to estimate each star’s gross earnings (before taxes, management fees and other costs).

Like Monroe, Bettie Page is enjoying a renaissance. The pinup girl, who died in 2008, is more in style than ever before, with a chain of stores called Bettie Page Clothing in places like Hollywood and Las Vegas selling clothes inspired by the model and B movie star. Those stores helped her estate earn $6 million this year, tying for 13th place on our list with Andy Warhol and George Harrison.

Hier die Reihenfolge der ersten 15:

Michael Jackson is the richest deceased musician, but also richer than most every musician alive
by Kyle Anderson

Michael Jackson has been dead for more than 28 months, but thanks to the ugly ongoing trial of Dr. Conrad Murray and the steady stream of tributes in MJ’s memory, his passing still feels quite fresh. Time certainly hasn’t slowed the stream of posthumous income for Jackson, who according to Forbes is the most successful dead celebrity and is the number two money-maker among all musicians.

Between October 2010 and October 2011, Jackson pulled in $170 million thanks to music sales and licensing. That’s down from the $275 million he made the previous year, but his album sales remain pretty steady, and the income from the just-launched Cirque Du Soleil production Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour could keep him at the top of the list for a while.

It’s not surprising that Jackson earns so much more than other dead celebrities, but it’s a little shocking that he takes in more than almost any other living musician. Over the past year, only U2 made more money than Jackson, and they had to go on a lengthy, health-threatening tour that ended up being the most lucrative of all time.

Obviously, a lot of these Jackson-centric projects and renewed record sales would not be what they are had he not passed away, but even still, these are singularly impressive numbers. When you consider the richest musicians, almost all of their income is derived from touring, which is why there’s always so much turnover from year to year (if Bruce Springsteen doesn’t tour, he makes significantly less based on back catalog sales and licensing alone).

Though Lady Gaga sold a million copies of Born This Way in a week, the money she cleared on that album is chicken feed compared to the dump trucks full of cash her Monster Ball tour brought in.

Legacy acts can rely on album sales up to a point (especially if they are like AC/DC and don’t ever release a greatest-hits album), but the road still represents the big bucks. When Jackson’s posthumous income flirts with a quarter of a billion dollars next year, he’ll have touring (or “touring,” as a hologram) to thank as well.

Michael Jackson is the real King as he beats Elvis to top-earning dead celebrity... raking in $170m

By Daily Mail Reporter

Last updated at 8:44 AM on 27th October 2011


The King of Pop has beaten The King to the top place on a list of top-earning dead celebrities.

Michael Jackson's estate raked in an estimated $170m this year, while Elvis Presley secured second place with $55m, according to financial website Forbes.com.

This is the second year in a row Jackson came in first place on the list following his death in 2009.
The Thriller singer, who died aged 50 of a drug overdose, is also the second highest-earning pop music act this year, dead or alive, Forbes.com said.

Like Jackson, Presley's $55m earnings were helped by the Cirque du Soleil, who produced Viva Elvis in tribute to the late singer.

Hollywood's golden age pin-up girl, Marilyn Monroe, who died at age 36 in 1962, earned near $27 million, placing her third on the list.
Sultry screen icon Elizabeth Taylor, who passed away in March aged 79, was placed fifth after reportedly earning $12 million, with a large portion coming from the sales of her popular fragrance, White Diamonds.

The Top-Earning Dead Celebrities list by Forbes takes into account any deceased famous figure who has earned at least $6 million between October 2010 and October 2011.

Jackson's physician at the time of his death, Dr. Conrad Murray, is currently on trial in Los Angeles, charged with involuntary manslaughter for administering the powerful anesthetic propofol as a sleep aid for the singer in Jackson's home. Murray has pleaded not guilty.

Jackson, whose name has rarely been out of the media headlines due to his sudden death and its cause, has seen sales of albums and memorabilia increase in the past year.

The theatre group Cirque Du Soleil has mounted an extravagant show called 'Immortal' that is based on the singer's life and music.

Earlier this month, a tribute concert in Cardiff, Wales, lured tens of thousands of fans.

dass es nach meine erklärung nochmal wiederholt wird, und das zum dritten mal
ich darf betonen, dass elvis presley 2010 / 2011 wieder mit am meisten platten / cds / downloads weltweit verkaufte. nur wird es in dieser liste kaum oder garnicht beachtet, genauso wie andere einnahmen.

[Dreamerdancer]

wo kann man nachlesen ,wieviele Tonträger Elvis verkauft hat?Mit am meisten Platten/Cds/downloads verkauft, ist mir zu ungenau.Interessiert mich jetzt wirklich.

[swie]

Überhaupt kann man das ja schlecht vergleichen. Elvis ist seit 35 Jahren tot, MJ ist da noch viel aktueller. Ich denke man sollte aus diesen Artikeln die Info ziehen, dass Michael Jacksons Werke sich nach seinem Tot unglaublich gut verkauft haben, aber keine Vergleiche zu anderen Künstlern anstellen - weder zu bereits Gestorbenen, noch zu Lebenden.
