According to Forbes magazine, the richest dead celebrity isn't Michael Jackson.

Although the King of Pop's estate has been big news since his death, the top-earning dead celebrity is French fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent.

According to Forbes, Laurent earned $350 million in the past year. Much of his estate was auctioned off at Christie's in February.

Laurent died of brain cancer in June 2008. Musicians Rodgers and Hammerstein rank second with combined earnings of $235 million, followed by Jackson with $90 million and Elvis Presley with $55 million.
