Some people are so good at making money that they earn a bundle even after they are dead! That's right, Forbes has released its list of the top-earning deceased stars. Their list:
1. Elvis Presley
2. Charles M. Schulz
3. John Lennon
4. Andy Warhol
5. Theodore "Dr. Seuss" Geisel
6. Marlon Brando
7. Marilyn Monroe
8. J.R.R. Tolkien
9. George Harrison
10. Johnny Cash
11. Irving Berlin
12. Bob Marley
13. Ray Charles
And here's a bit more information on the group:
The 13 members of our annual Highest-Earning Dead Celebrities list brought in a collective $186 million in the last year.
They, or more accurately, their estates, earned that money by selling their work — both written and recorded — or just the rights to use their likenesses on T-shirts, posters or in advertisements.
I tell you, if you earn this kind of money even after you're dead, you really have it going on!
What number did Bruce Lee land on in the top earning dead celebrities?

Over the past few months I’ ve noticed a new trend. Coffee evidently isn’ t enough anymore because they’ ve come out with the“ bikini barista” stands. Yes, the name says it all. It’ s like Hooters without the wings and more caffeinated.
