Michael Jackson topped the dead celebrities rich list for a sixth year in a row.

The King of Pop, who died in 2009, remains the top-earning star beyond the grave, according to Forbes magazine, thanks to a $399 million (£313 million) windfall over the past year.

The “Thriller” star has now made £1.8 billion in the nine years since his death.

Elvis Presley, the father of Jackson’s former wife Lisa Marie Presley, comes in second on the 2018 dead celebrities rich list with $39.5 million (£31 million), while golfer Arnold Palmer is third.
