Guess the top 10 highest earning deceased celebrities? So this is celebrities that are dead that are still earning money. Correct. And some of them make a lot of money still. So is it mainly based off of like residuals or like TV shows or movies or music that they have out that still make money? I think mainly music. I don't see a lot of actors or people on here, mainly celebrities that have made music, have the catalog, it's still played today. Okay, okay. You gotta get number one. Elvis Presley.

2:18.2

Bombecklad. I don't even know what to say to that. Me either. What does that mean? I don't know. Okay. Let's look that one out. We'll look that one up after the pot. I thought you were going to give me a clue. Do you want a clue? No, I don't want a clue. I was going to say number 10 is $12 million. It's right below Bob Marley, also a legendary singer.

2:35.3

Well, I'm going to say that a lot of them are

2:36.9

David Bowie. Not David Bowie. No, that's a good guess though. I like that. Damn, okay. Other people that have passed away. What about like Aretha Franklin? Good guess, not on the list. Are there any women on the list? I actually don't see any woman.
