Since Michael Jackson's cardiac arrest last June, the New York Daily News reports that his estate has earned a whopping $783 million. That's staggering on many levels, not the least of which is the fact that he faced so many financial struggles while he was alive.

Several factors have contributed to the increased income, including the release of the documentary 'This Is It,' various publishing deals, the massive increase in album sales that followed the King of Pop's death and his 50 percent stake in the Sony/ATV music catalog, which reportedly earns $80 million annually. Not only that, but he's got new stuff coming out too -- the Jackson estate has signed a deal with Sony records to distribute dozens of never-released songs, including a new album that will hit stores at Christmastime and the re-issue of Jackson's classics and DVDs of his music videos.
