Not only that but your expenses go way down!
LOL Not necessarily. Legal is probably the biggest expense, and that has nothing to do with living or dead.
The one I found most interesting was:
No. 7: John Lennon
Earnings: $9 million
Occupation: Singer-songwriter
Died: Dec. 8, 1980
Age: 40
Cause: Murder
Lennon's income peaked in 2006 at $24 million, mainly because of the one-off settlement of a lawsuit among the Beatles, Apple and music distributor EMI. But Lennon is still doing fine. Imagine a steady stream of music-publishing royalties, merchandising and licensing agreements.
Imagine $9 million a year, with most of it going to charity in pursuit of anti-war efforts.
