World's Actual Highest-Paid Musician

Forbes has named the King of Pop as the highest-earning musician in the world.

SF Weekly has reported that, according to Forbes, the World's Actual Highest-Paid Musician is... Deceased Michael Jackson, with gross earnings of $160 million.

His nearest rival is Madonna with $125 million; next on the list, Lady Gaga raked in $80 million. Diddy (No. 12) scraped together $50 million.

Other stars came nowhere near the amount earned by Michael's Estate.

Consider it the ultimate triumph of the past (and the King of Pop) that a dead — which is a tragedy — Michael still beats a living everyone else... by exactly $35 million.
