Would someone like Andy Warhol be on the list? Aren't his soup cans and Marilyns still on the market?

Einstein it is. For those who (like me) were surprised to see his name on this list, Forbes' comments:

Thank you, I did miss that. Jackson's earnings are so much higher than all the others that I'll declare this close enough to the Forbes figure of $170 million.

What are Forbes comments on Charles Schultz? I could look it up, but since I'll be guessing the 2011 earnings, I can't look it up yet. Is the $25M "only" syndicated earnings from the Peanuts strip, or is it mostly from Fantagraphics restauration and complete print of Peanuts?
$25M is a lot, but Peanuts is one of the finest comic strips created. I think I'm on the safe side to guess that Both Elizabeth Taylors and John Lennons earnings are about $16M Last edited by Iznogood; 10-05-2012 at 03:52 PM. Reason: Typo |
