It's official: while Elvis may no longer be with us, he's still a very rich man.
Forbest announced today that Presley claimed the #1 spot on the magazine's annual list of top-earning dead celebrities.
In the past 12 months, the king's estate generated an astounding $49 mill from music royalties, DVDs, licensing deals and tourism at Graceland.
Others worth noting: John Lennon, Charles Schultz, George Harrison, Albert Einsten, Andy Warhol, Dr. Seuss, Tupac Shakur, Marilyn Monroe, Steve McQueen, James Brown, Bob Marley, and James Dean.
A whopping total of $232 million for the year, when combined.
Not bad for a bunch of dead dudes.
