One thing that normal people can look forward to in death is freedom from debt and bills. Celebrities? They just keep on earning big bucks long after they have left this earth. You’d be surprised just how rich dead celebrities can get, and for how long the money keeps coming after they're six feet deep.  

When news breaks of a musician's passing, their available music instantly flies off of the shelves. That posthumous income can last for years, even decades. Don’t believe us? Just take a look for yourself at these celebrities who may be gone but are still making more than you, me, and my mama, combined.

About Kendra Beltran

Growing up in a double wide trailer in the middle of a California desert, Kendra used her smarts to go to college. Only she didn't realize that adulthood was the next stop after graduation. Struggling to start any sort of career out of a makeshift degree, she fell into blogging. Experiencing a multitude of highs and lows on that path...she wouldn't trade it for a typical 9-5 ever. Today she spends her days writing while simultaneously going back and forth between binging Frasier and The Office.
