My source shows the number at 55 million... that puts him at #4 on the list......
Michael Jackson earned 90 million, at #3
Rodgers & Hammerstein, 235 million at #2
and Yves Saint Laurent is the top earning dead guy, 350 million

go here to see the other top earners

Yves Saint Laurent 350 million dollars (£214 million)

At those levels...$5 Million, pfft! I'll never see it! ...I thought it more interesting that I read that just last night and then you have an Elvis question this morning.
