And the Richest Dead Rapper Award Goes to...
Wednesday October 31, 2007
Not even death can stop Tupac Shakur from earning a living. Forbes recently compiled a list of top-earning dead celebrities, and the hip-hop icon came in at No.8. 2Pac raked in a whopping $9 million in the past 12 months. This isn't Tupac's first showing on the top earners list. He occupied the No. 10 position on a similar Forbes list back in 2002 with 7 million, and finished strong at No. 8 in 2003 with $12 million.
2Pac was fatally gunned down 11 years ago in Las Vegas. He left behind a bottomless pile of unreleased material, including some of the song's on 2006's Pac's Life.
