OMG The King Of Pop Does It Again Michael Jackson Is Still Making More Money Than All Your Faves
Hold onto your single sequined gloves because we have some tea that is piping hot and literally out of this world. The one and only King of Pop Michael Jackson is proving that legends never truly die they just keep cashing major checks from the great beyond. Get this you guys Forbes just dropped its annual list of Highest Paid Dead Celebrities for 2025 and guess who is sitting pretty at the number one spot for what feels like the millionth time. Yep its MJ.
And the number is absolutely staggering. The Michael Jackson estate raked in an unbelievable one hundred five million dollars this past year. Let that sink in. One hundred five MILLION dollars. That is more than most living A listers make and he has not released a new album in decades. It is honestly iconic behavior and further proof that his reign is eternal. The man is not just a ghost haunting Neverland he is a full on financial powerhouse.
So how is the MJ empire still making it rain so hard you ask. Well its not just from fans streaming Billie Jean and Thriller on repeat although that definitely helps keep the cash flowing. A huge chunk of that jaw dropping income comes from the critically acclaimed and fan obsessed Broadway show MJ The Musical. The show has been a massive smash hit selling out tickets and reminding everyone of the sheer genius of his music and moves. If you have not seen it you are seriously missing out. It is a total spectacle.
But wait there is more. The buzz around the upcoming Michael Jackson biopic is reaching a fever pitch and that means big money deals. The film titled simply Michael is set to be a mega blockbuster directed by the amazing Antoine Fuqua and starring MJs own nephew the super talented Jaafar Jackson in the lead role. Insiders say the film deal came with a massive payday for the estate and the hype alone is re energizing his entire brand. We are already getting our popcorn ready for that premiere.
Now lets talk about the competition because it is not like other legends are not earning. The King of Rock and Roll Elvis Presley is still doing amazing thanks to his own biopic and the Graceland empire. And Peanuts creator Charles Schulz continues to earn big from Snoopy and the gang. But neither of them came close to touching Michael Jackson this year. He has lapped them all solidifying his status as the undisputed GOAT of posthumous earnings. He is not just beating his peers he is leaving them in a trail of moonwalking dust.
It just goes to show the unmatched power and influence of Michael Jackson. His music is timeless his dance moves are still copied by every pop star from Bruno Mars to The Weeknd and his style is legendary. He broke down barriers and changed the music industry forever. More than fifteen years after his passing his art continues to resonate with new generations of fans all over the world. That kind of legacy is priceless but in MJs case it also happens to be worth a very specific one hundred five million dollars a year.
It is clear that Michael Jacksons star will never fade. He set a standard for pop music and performance that may never be reached again. And as his estate continues to brilliantly manage his legacy through new and exciting projects like the musical and the upcoming biopic his earning power will only continue to grow. He is forever the King of Pop the King of Music Videos and now and forever the King of the Forbes Dead Celebrity List. A true legend in every sense of the word.
