Does Seattle have the claim to fame of The World’s Richest Man, we now also can claim the title to The World’s Top Money Making Dead Guy.
Kurt Cobain is showbusiness’s top earning dead celebrity – surpassing Elvis Presley.
The Nirvana frontman raked in a staggering £26.3m last year, putting Presley’s £22.1m in the shade, according to US business website Forbes.com.
It is the first time Cobain has appeared on the list.
Nearly $50 Million bucks equals a whole lot of sales of bad music.
FWIW: Yes, PacNW locals, I know that Gates lives in Medina which is not in Seattle, but who the hell outside the area knows about Bellevue?
You’re all Sounders, even if you can’t see saltchuck from where you are.
I’m referred to a s Portlander, even though I live in Gresham, a city of 100,000-plus people that is 15 miles outside Portland, and miles outside their Communistic way to thinking and doing business.
But, “Greshamite” is just a tad too close to a Biblical resident of a bad place, ergo “Sodomite”, so I don’t protesteth too much.
And don’t forget that ANYBODY, referring to ANYWHERE in western Washington calls that anywhere a suburb of Seattle …….. so there you have it, doesn’t matter, he’s from Seattle. I guess it’s the only known city in the entire state if you don’t live here.
Hey, the whole country knows about Bremerton from Sir Mix-A-Lot’s “Bremalo.” More people than you think probably know about Bellevue from back when they were looking up Bremerton on a map.
Kurt Cobain may be the world’s richest dead man, but you just know Courtney Love is using it all up for drugs.
