They rank at the tenth and eleventh spots.
It’s starting to feel like Forbes releases a new list every week. This time, the well-regarded magazine and website is ranking the entertainers and celebrities who are earning the most cash from the afterlife.
In a new list released by Forbes, their researchers have determined how much some the most famous deceased personalities are making these days. Some the names on this list, like Michael Jackson, should be relatively obvious to predict. Others are more a shock. Dominating the scoreboard is the King Pop, whose estate earned an estimated $60 million in the last twelve months. The late Elvis Presley notched second place with $39 million and Bob Marley’s family got a cool $20 million from his catalog.

Representing hip-hop, and also marking two the youngest people on this unfortunate list, Nipsey Hussle and XXXTentacion appear at the tenth and eleventh spots respectively. Hussle’s estate took home a nice $11 million f his legacy and XXXTentacion’s posthumous releases have netted his team $10 million.
Of course, we wish none these names were present on this list. It’s sad to think how both Nipsey and XXX could have continued changing the world, as well as other rappers like Mac Miller, Fredo Santana, and more. Take a look at the full ranking here.
