According to his father joe jackson, the late michael jackson is "worth more dead than when he was alive..."

Daddy joe made the comments in las vegas after learning his son was a higher-earning dead celeb than Elvis-on forbes magazine's new graveyard greenbacks list.

of course, Joe quickly insisted he'd rather have his son back than all the cash that's comming in.

He says,"i get emotional when im off to myself and i start thinking about things that we went through.no will ever see me(cry),though."

That Joe's all man!

WHAT A ASSHOLE! michael should of high kicked that foo in the chest......
