Tupac Shakur Among Highest Earning Dead Celebrities
In related news, according to Forbes, Tupac Shakur was listed among the highest top earning dead celebrities in its seventh annual list of Top-Earning Dead Celebrities Monday (October 29).
Shakur, came in at the no. 8 spot, only to the likes of Elvis Presley who took no. 1 and Charlie Brown creator Charles M. Schulz. The rapper earned a reported $9 million in the last 12 months despite being gone for over 10 years.
The late rapper’s estate is profiting from his Makaveli line of clothing, and his mother Afeni Shakur sold a stake of his music catalog to EverGreen Copyrights. For an example of how valuable that is, Tupac is the best-selling rapper of all-time with over 75 million albums sold to date.
Forbes reported projects that include a Tupac biopic, a Broadway musical and a Tupac-themed videogame, according to Forbes.
On the list are other few late black celebrities, still have selling power that include James Brown who lands right outside the top 10 at #11, raking in a reported $5 million in earnings from other the past year—which comes from his royalties from his vast music catalog. A biopic is also in the works for Brown. He died on Christmas of 2006 of complications from pneumonia.
Following Brown is reggae legend, Bob Marley, who holds down the no. 12 spot with an estimated $4 million in earnings nearly 27 years after dying from cancer. Marley’s family receives royalties from his music catalog, which includes Legend, the bestselling reggae album in history.

tupac been died.. no disrepect to the dead.. let the man rest..
what are u smoking? go to google images, and put in Tupac autopsy, and go look what comes up. You will be sad but a picture is worth a 1000 words...
I think white people say Pac is still alive to get on the black people's good side.
Any smart nigga knows that Pac is dead. If he was alive he would have been back in 03. Plus they did an autopsy. Clown
i suppose all of a sudden a man can't joke. these are probably the same people making jokes from the dave chappelle joke on tupac.
i see supaman goes by the logic that if you're not black, you're white. gtfo, idiot.

R.I.P. PAC aka Best Rapper of All Time
aka Biggie Smalls
is it just me or is this the EXACT same track list as the first greatest hits album..? I mean given theres about 5 or 6 songs that werent on there. But at least try to make a greatest hits with newer material..... its a shame how they're watering down this mans name. Eminem produced a wack ass cd, pacs mom produced a wack ass cd, his clothing line suck (if he made it himself it would be MUCH better) and they keep releasing stuff not to keep his memory alive, but to make more money.
its a damn shame.
hear you on that shit, i wish they'd make a cd of all his unreleased shit, but keep the same beats, bring johnny j back and daz and make the shit like pac wanted it, not someone else
Rest In Peace Pac
it dont even got all the heaters where "dear mama","war stories","ambitionz of a ryda"etc. ???
pac the g.o.a.t period

RESPECT 2PAC ONE OF THE REALEST NIGGAS EVER TO BLESS THE MIKE NIGGAS NEED TO RECOGNIZE AND FOLLOW THE REAL DUDES ON HIP HOP ,,,,ONE OF THE BEST AND ONE OF THE REALEST.............RIP
And yet...another album from Pac! That's crazy that he's been dead for 10 yrs now... and still has a record deal!

rubyred there's abig difference between best rapper alive and best rapper that ever lived (LIVED= passed/ ALIVE=still brethng) comin sence i understanwhat u sayin tho but u just gotta look at it this way he ain't alive no more so it's the generation that being carryed on. They just gotta make things understandable and eccept of having omeone say i'm the best and the other gets mad and it becomes a hip-hop ware but it ain't like the way it was before. and it ain't never gone be like tha. new niggaz gotta make soe shit happen, das it, keep ur heads up, one...
He {tupac} and his identical twin, are very much alive. you people are all blind. even their dad has a twin. read tupac's original poems...."lady liberty needs to get 2 pairs of glasses, cuz the bitch is blind" something like that. original tupac.com has true facts. That is because it is owned by the fans. "tupac" who uses 2-pac.com has phoney shit to mis lead u. that is one reason they tried to shut "tupac.com" the fans web site , down. But they lost.LOL.
1life; Neither died.there was a female who was in the car and then a young guy with a band in connection with tupacs "crew",they're dead or not heard from. I am the only one with current info. And that pic of poc at that funeral, on the tupac.com web site, that looked like a look of guilt. biggie really is gone. I wrote a who shit-load, then i erased it. I will just let God handle this topic of my life, after all, "This is not my life, it is the Lords".,to quote Yolanda williams lyrics. (I think a decent human being would give credit where credit is due, and not use others lyrics, or way of speaking,ie...the words out of ones mouth. it says someplace in the bible../in corrithins, that using someone else's god given idea to profit from, is breaking in commandment "thou shall not steal". It's a long story....more than 15 years and counting.
that singer i quoted, i think was yolanda adams,not williams...
All you niggas keep bitching sayin " let him rest in peace" who gives a fuck its jus money let poeple hustle dumbasses who cant burn a CD dats 3 times as good
