Yves Saint Laurent is highest earning dead celebrity The designer beats Michael Jackson and Elvis Yves Saint Laurent has beaten Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley to the top of a Forbes list of the world’s highest earning dead celebrities. Despite attracting enormous interest in his music when he died in June, Jackson only made third place in the ranking, making about $90 million in the four months since then according to the magazine. That’s a long way behind the French fashion designer, who earned an estimated $350 million, as well as the song-writing duo Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein, who made $235 million. Presley – the usual list leader – came fourth with $55 million, followed closely by JRR Tolkein on $50 million. Saint Laurent died of brain cancer in June 2008 and the bulk of his earnings came from the sale of most of his possessions, including art, furniture and antiques, in February. Of the best performers, only Elvis did not owe his achievement to a one-off windfall. While his estate lost the rights to his pre-1973 recordings long ago, it has turned his legacy into a hugely profitable merchandising and tourism business centred around his former Memphis home – Graceland. The report’s authors predict the singer is likely to regain his lead next year when fans celebrate his 75th birthday. Matthew Miller who edits the Forbes dead celebrity list said: ‘The money might be drying up in Hollywood, but there’s still plenty of cash being made in the graveyard.’

Yves Saint Laurent pretekao je Michaela Jacksona i Elvisa Presleya na top ljestvici najbolje plaćenih pokojnih zvijezda Unatoč velikoj pažnji koju je privukla njegova smrt u lipnju ove godine, Michael Jackson zauzeo je tek treće mjesto Forbesove top liste najbolje plaćenih pokojnika, sa zaradom od oko 90 milijuna dolara, koliko se slilo na njegove račune u posljednja četiri mjeseca. Prema procjenama magazina Forbes, neokrunjeni kralj popa na trećem mjestu daleko zaostaje za dizajnerskom legendom Yves Saint Laurentom koji je, kako se procjenjuje, zaradio oko 350 milijuna dolara. Drugo mjesto pripalo je tekstopiscima Richardu Rodgersu i Oscaru Hammersteinu, koji su zaradili 235 milijuna dolara. Elvis Presley, koji uobičajeno vodi na listi pokojnih zvijezda koje i dalje zarađuju milijunske svote, ove je godine izborio tek četvrto mjesto sa zaradom od 55 milijuna dolara. Tek nešto manje zaradio je J. Tolkien, 50 milijuna. Yves Saint Laurent preminuo je u lipnju 2008. godine od posljedica raka mozga. Iza sebe je ostavio ogromno bogatstvo, dio kojeg je prodan na dražbi u veljači ove godine. - Sviđa vam se članak? Preporučite ga prijateljima putem ovih servisa: Pošaljite mailom
