The Jailhouse Rock hitmaker topped the Forbes magazine poll with earnings of $58 million (£29 million) during 2007.

Musician James Brown enters the list in 11th place after earning $5 million (£2.5 million) since dying last year (06). The top ten is as follows: 1. Elvis Presley - $58 million (£29 million) 2. John Lennon - $44 million (£22 million) 3. Charles M. Schulz - $35 million (£17.5 million) 4. George Harrison - $22 million (£11 million) 5. Albert Einstein - $ 18 million (£9 million) 6.
