It is not unknown for a celebrity to rake in the cash after their death. Six months after Michael Jackson died in 2009 his estate made close to $30 million worldwide. Recent reports show that Whitney has struggled financially in the past but the sales of her music will improve the condition of her estate. Houston’s daughter, Bobbi Kristina who is 18 will most likely be the main beneficiary.
Whitney will not come close to the sales after Michael Jackson’s death. Jackson had ownership of all his songs he wrote himself. The most famous Houston hit, “I Will Always Love You” is not owned by Houston’s estate but by the songwriter Dolly Parton.
Whitney’s greatest hits album will eventually be in Billboards Top 10 chart in the next coming weeks. Already 50,000 were sold in the first two days of Whitney Houston’s death.
