Michael Jackson's estate has generated at least $1 billion in revenues since the singer died a year ago on June 25, 2009, thanks in part to a lucrative new record deal with Sony Music and the most successful concert film of all time, according to Billboard estimates.

Through interviews with industry experts and some number-crunching, Billboard examines the various music-based revenue streams flowing into the estate.
