Col. Tom Parker, when asked what he was going to do after Elvis' death, said "Keep right on managing Elvis"... And people thought he was being funny!

Did Einstein copyright E=MC²? How did he make $18M?

I was wondering the same thing and did a little research.
It turns out that Herr Professor Einstein is represented by the Roger Richman Agency of Beverly Hills, which licenses his image for a wide variety of products, tasteful and otherwise. See www.albert-einstein.net./
Their only regret is that they can't book him for "Dancing with the Stars."
