Death as a Career Move in the New Century

Topping Forbes' list of the highest-paid deceased celebrity for 2000: Elvis Presley!  Elvis' earnings last year topped $35 million, with $15 coming from admissions revenue from Graceland.

Apparently not as popular or profitable, the Richard Nixon Library brought in
 $400,000 in admissions revenue in 1999.

FYI:   "2Pac: Until The End of Time"
on Death Row Records debuted on Billboard's chart at #1 on April 14, 2001!
Even though he's been dead since 1996, Tupac Shakur keeps putting out hits!
