It looks like Courtney Love and Co. earned more in the past 12 months from Kurt Cobainยs estate than CKX did from Elvisย. Forbes sixth annual list of top-earning celebrities [http://www.forbes.com/2006/10/23/tech-media_06deadcelebs_cx_pk_top-earning-dead-celebrities_land.html] was released this month, with Kurt Cobain topping the charts. Other top-earning celebrities include Marilyn Monroe, Dr. Seuss, and Albert Einstein.
The Nirvana frontmanยs estate made $50 million from licensing deals and marketing campaigns. Elvis has traditionally been the top earning dead celebrity, but came in second this year with earnings of $42 million.
Itยs still more money than weยll ever see in a lifetime.
