Writer and illustrator of more than 60 books, which children's author has made the Forbes list of highest-paid dead celebrities every year since it was first published in 2001?

While the prolific writer never made much effort to commercialize his characters beyond selling books, he asked his wife Audrey to spread his stories to "the widest possible audience in any and all media throughout the world" after his death. She has been devoted to fulfilling that request ever since, making numerous multi-million dollar movie and TV deals—on top of the steady revenue stream from sales of Geisel's beloved books. With 2020 income of $33 million, Dr. Seuss landed at #2 on the Forbes list. Behind perennial #1, Michael Jackson.
