How many of us would earn more after we’ve departed?  Well, Forbes magazine’s annual list of top grossing dead celebrities has named famed fashion designer, Yves Saint Laurent, at the top.  He made an estimated $350 million dollars in the past year, most of which came from the sale of his estate at a Christie’s auction in February.  Saint Laurent passed away June 1, 2008 of brain cancer.  He was known for his expert tailoring, and secured his place in fashion history with the creation of the female tuxedo suit.  The late designer’s estate is managed by his long-time partner Pierre Berge.

Michael Jackson ranked third with $90 million, followed by Elvis Presley who came in with $55 million. Yves Saint Laurent is in very good company.
