Reclaiming his top spot on the list is Elvis Presley, whose estate generated $49 million in the past year.
Newcomers to the Dead Celebrities list include “King of Cool” Steve McQueen ($6 million) and the “Godfather of Soul” James Brown ($5 million). Rapper Tupac Shakur rejoins the list with $9 million — he debuted back in 2002, before falling off — following the sale of catalog rights in May for upward of $5 million. Over a decade after his unsolved 1996 murder in a drive-by shooting, Tupac remains a hot commercial property. Said to be in development are a Tupac biopic, videogame and — gasp! — Broadway show.
A Tupac Broadway show? That’s something i would pay to see maybe
