Marley ranks number eight on the Forbes list of top-earning dead celebrities. In 2020, his estate earned $13 million– more than the likes of Prince, Marilyn Monroe, and John Lennon. Bob Marley also saw his music streams soar last year—the reggae legend accumulated more than a billion streams globally. House of Marley, his line of speakers, turntables, and headphones, and sales of T-shirts and lighters adorned with his likeness also added more than $3 million to his coffers.
