Yves Saint Laurent is this year’s top-earning dead celebrity, with his estate hauling in $350 million, according to Forbes.
The fashion luminary beats out even chart-topping Michael Jackson and list regular Elvis Presley, thanks in part to a record-setting auction in February of possessions he shared with partner Pierre Bergé. It was Laurent’s first time atop the Top-Earning Dead Celebrities list since his death from brain cancer in June 2008.
Laurent’s earnings put him a couple spots above Jackson, who has made $90 million since his June 25 death.
