Nipsey Hussle, XXXTentacion on the list of highest-earning dead celebrities

Late rappers, Nipsey Hussle and XXXTentacion, who died earlier this year have made it onto the list of 2019’s highest-earning dead celebrities.

Michael Jackson, who died in 2006 is still at the top of the list after making 60 million dollars between October 2018 and October 2019. This is the seventh consecutive year that Michael Jackson has worn the crown.

Ermias Joseph Asghedom aka Nipsey Hussle made the list, coming in at number ten this year with 11 million dollars. Jahseh Ricardo Onfroy aka xxxTentacion also made the list as he is the most streamed dead singer in the US – 5.6 billion.

“In the physical world, it would die down to the point where that stuff just wasn’t carried anymore,” says David Bakula, Nielsen’s Senior VP of Insight and Analytics. “That barrier’s been removed, and it’s just simply as long as you’re still thinking about that artist, you’re still going to go in and play it with really no friction at all.”

Forbes states, “Our annual list of the top-earning dead celebrities measures pretax income from October 1, 2018, through October 1, 2019. We compile our numbers with the help of data from Nielsen Music, IMDBPro, and interviews with industry insiders. Fees for agents, managers, and lawyers are not deducted.”

The celebrities on the list earned a total of 284.5 million dollars. See the list below to know who earned what.
