Arnold Palmer No. 2 Of Top-Earning Celebs Who Have Passed
/Zack O'Malley Greenburg summarizes the Forbes list of deceased celebrity earners and while Michael Jackson's catalog continues to sell, Arnold Palmer's brand continues to thrive a year since his passing.
Greenburg writes:
Golf legend Arnold Palmer claims the No. 2 spot with $40 million. Barely a year after his death, more than 400 stores still sell Palmer-branded apparel in Asia, and AriZona Beverages produces 400 million cans of its Arnold Palmer line annually. Peanuts creator Charles Schulz ranks third with income of $38 million—MetLife recently retired Snoopy and Charlie Brown from its ad campaigns, but the cartoonist’s contract does not expire until 2019.
