Sept 24-Sept 25 pretax earnings from dead people; Forbes annual report, every #Halloween.
I take issue with them not explaining that Elvis was not a #songwriter but a thief: he forced #lyricists & #composers to sign over to him half of their #rights, or he wouldn't record the #song. Dolly famously said No, I'll try to find which song it was. Elvis wouldn't be on this list if he had any character. (They discuss MJ's character.)
