NEW YORK—Michael Jackson died eight years ago, but he’s still generating millions of dollars. Jackson is atop the Forbes list of top-earning dead celebrities for the fifth straight year, with $75 million. Forbes says Jackson’s earnings are boosted by a new greatest hits album, a Las Vegas Cirque du Soleil show and a stake in the EMI music publishing catalogue. Elvis Presley comes in fourth with $35 million and Bob Marley ranks fifth with $23 million. He brought in $40 million in part through sales of Arizona lemonade and iced tea beverage made in his name.
