It's been more than 30 years since Elvis left us. To measure his impact as a performer and icon, Forbes Magazine has named him the number one, top earning deceased celebrity for the second year in a row! His estate earned $52 million in the past year. If you are a kid and never knew Elvis, you can compare his earning power, having been gone for 30 years, with Justin Timberlake's $44 million or Madonna's $40 Million.
No. 2 with $33 million in earnings was cartoonist Charles Schulz - best known for his "Peanuts" comic strip.
Australian actor Heath Ledger nabbed third spot at $20 million
Albert Einstein comes in at #4 with $18 million
#5 is Aaron Spelling with $15 million in earnings.
