The Bob Marley business is in full swing
on Tuesday, October 30th 2012 - 5 290 views
Known for its rankings of all kinds, Forbes magazine has compiled, as it does every year, its list of deceased celebrities who earned the most (''Top Earning Dead Celebrities'') over the past 12 months.
31 years after his death, Bob Marley ranks 5th, behind the actress Elizabeth Taylor ($210 million in earnings), Michael Jackson ($145 million), Elvis Presley ($55 million) and the cartoonist Charles Schulz, creator of Charlie Brown and Snoopy ($37 million).
The Jamaican icon brought in $17 million in 2011.
A financial windfall that comes of course from record sales ("Legend", for example, is in its 245th week on the Billboard 200 Chart), but also from merchandise of varying taste.
At the heart of this "Marleyesque" business, one might cite the "relaxing" drink Mellow Mood, or the recent headphones
sold by the family company The House of Marley.
