- Marilyn Monroe – Made $17 Million In 2015
The icon for many ages and the lady who still lives on in our hearts with her blonde mane, the pouty red lips and the legendary mole, Marilyn Monroe is undoubtedly still an international fashion and film idol. In 2011, Authentic Brand Group bought the rights to her brand. That is the reason, that she’s still grossing in a lot of dollars, also from a clothing line at American store, Macy’s. There is a lingerie line which is sold after her name too.
