Gaps on so many levels, part two (boo)

Can you dig this? The annual Forbes' Most Successful Dead Celebrities List. Spatagram brought you last years list with Curt Kobain topping the list. Truth be told and books be sold, that was only because his crazed widow had sold off a good part of his catalogue to incredible wealth. I really dig that there are thirteen participants. Well, I think we know who the true King of the Underworld is.........




1. Elvis Presley (£29m)



2. John Lennon (£22m)



3. Charles M. Schulz (£17.5m)



4. George Harrison (£11m)



5. Albert Einstein (£9m)



6. Andy Warhol (£7.5m)



7. Dr. Seuss (Theodor Geisel) (£7.5m)



8. Tupac Shakur (£4.5m)



9. Marilyn Monroe (£3.5m)



10. Steve McQueen (£3m)



11. James Brown (£2.5m)



12. Bob Marley (£2m)



13. James Dean (£1.7m)

Gaps on so many levels.

Certain things you can count on in Halloween season; orange & black color schemes, revenge scenarios, kids in sugar comas, politics and dancing. Oh, and of course the annual Most-successful Dead Celebrities list. The spiritual tide has turned and a new generation's deadhero has made the here and now comfy for their heirs. Kurt Cobain's new Nirvana has him sitting pretty. Smells like teen spirit, and how.

Top 10 'rich dead' list

1 Kurt Cobain ($50m - £26.3m)

2 Elvis Presley ($42m - £22.1m)

3 Charles Schulz ($35m - £18.4m)

4 John Lennon ($24m - £12.6m)

5 Albert Einstein ($20m - £10.5m)

6 Andy Warhol ($19m - £10m)

7 Dr Seuss/Theodor Geisel ($10ms - £5.3m)

8 Ray Charles ($10m - £5.3m)

9 Marilyn Monroe ($8m - £4.2m)

10 Johnny Cash ($8m - £4.2m)

The list is compiled as a parody on the Forbes 400 and issued same time every year.
Boo!
