Michael Jackson ranks third on Forbes list of highest earning dead celebrities - or delebs as they call them. Jackson raked in $90 million thanks to a strong showing at the box office for
This Is It as well as strong music sales. Jackson was listed right about last year's highest earning deleb,
Elvis Presley, who made $55 million.
The top earner was fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent followed by Rogers & Hammerstein. Other musicians in the top 13 list (a Forbes tradition) include
John Lennon at No. 7 with $15 million and
Jimmy Hendrix at No. 12 with $8 million.
