DEAD CELEBRITIES WHO STILL MAKE MONEY

I'm sure it will come as no surprise when I say that some celebrities have been able to earn an awful lot of money throughout their career, especially if they’ve accomplished something special, worthwhile, and very, very memorable. But did you know that quite a few continue to make millions upon millions, each and every year, even though they are no longer with us? If not, don't worry, because neither did I! Not totally, anyway. Not until I checked out the following statistics compiled by partycasino.com, which features the highest-earning dead celebrities over the last decade. Please enjoy.
