Michael Jackson died eight years ago, but he's still earning millions of dollars.

Axar.az reports that the King of Pop sits atop Forbes' Top 13 list of highest-earning dead celebrities for the fifth straight year, after raking in $75million during a one year period so far.

Forbes reported Jackson's earnings are boosted by the Las Vegas Cirque du Soleil show, Michael Jackson One, a stake in the EMI music publishing catalogue and a new greatest hits album, 'Scream,' released in September, among other endeavours.

Two other singers join Jackson in the list's top five: Elvis Presley comes in fourth having earned $35million and Bob Marley ranks fifth with $23million.
