Three of my favorite 20th century dead guys made the rich list: Elvis, JRR, and Johnny:

> When Elvis died he came back as a cash cow.

> Elvis tops the annual Forbes list of celebrities who are the top moneymakers from the crypt. He made an estimated 45 million dollars in the past year.

> Charles Schulz is next on the list with 35 million dollars, followed by John Lennon, who raked in 22 million.

> Andy Warhol's take was 16 million dollars in the past year, Dr. Seuss made 10 million, followed by Marlon Brando with nine million.

> Marilyn Monroe and J.R.R. Tolkien are tied with eight million apiece and there's a three-way tie between George Harrison, Johnny Cash and Irving Berlin, who each made seven million.
