Forbes reports that Jackson is at the top of the list for highest earning dead celebrities for the fifth consecutive year at $75 million. According to the publication, Jackson has received a spike in earnings due to a new compilation album, the Las Vegas Cirque du Soleil show and a stake in the EMI music publishing catalog.

Golf icon Arnold Palmer is second on the list at $40 million, mostly due to sales of the Arizona lemonade and ice tea beverage named after him.
