The headline says it all doesn’t it. The undisputed King of Pop has made around $1 billion since he died a year ago, according to Billboard magazine. The cash comes from a variety of sources including music, merchandise and movies.
The magazine says Jackson’s album sales have generated about $383m (£259m), while revenue from the film This Is It has hit nearly $400m (£271m).
Profits from publishing rights, licensing and touring are also included in the total.
A new recording contract is estimated to have made $31m (£21m) so far.
