If you do just a LITTLE bit of research you will find that Michael Jackson is the highest paid artist of all time (since the beginning of recorded history). In 1987 he was paid $100 million in one year, which was a record of its own. His BAD, Dangerous and HIStory tours have grossed him over $300 million. Plus, he owns the rights to his own music plus that of The Beatles (valued at between $500 million and $1 billion) and he owns the rights of rapper Eminem's earlier music and some of 50 cent's music as well as Sly and the Family Stone, Shakira and a host of others. Just on his music alone he makes $20 million a year, add in the Beatles and the rest of the ppl he owns we're talkin in the hundreds of millions.

Others have said Michael Jackson...and George Michael...and Elvis, but Liberace tops the list easily. Also Verified by the Guinness Book Of World Records.
Elvis, though dead is making more money now than when he was alive... a little fact there.
Liberace also dead, is still making Plenty of revenue via his Liberace Foundation...his museum...and plenty of music sales etc. Visit : www.Liberace.com
