Michael Jackson and the Billion Dollar Death

By Paul Cashmere
Fri, 25 Jun 2010 14:52:14 +1000

Michael Jackson was worth a billion dollars in death these past 12 months.

The tragedy of the singer's demise was compensated with a multi-million dollar industry from sales of his music, film and television, publishing, recordings, merchandise and even touring that did not happen.

$6.5 million was made just on tickets not returned for a refund from the This Is It tour. The movie made $$250 million at the box office and a further $43 million on DVD. Jackson's music sales tallied $429 million.

Today marked the one year anniversary of the death of Michael Jackson. Like his former father-in-law Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson will prove to be far bigger in death than he ever was in life.
