Marilyn Monroe’s estate continues to make significant money through licensing deals and movie residuals, primarily managed by the Authentic Brands Group. Her likeness is licensed to nearly 100 brands, making her one of the highest-earning deceased celebrities.
Licensing: The most significant income comes from licensing her name and image to a wide variety of products and brands, from fashion to cosmetics.
