Well I wanna know where the money goes and how it’s shared and whatnot?
If it has been legally produced, the money will usually go to the distributer first (usually the retailer pays the distributer before you buy it). The distributer pays the manufacturer. The manufacturer pays the designer or photographer (either in one lump sum, or in royalties, although the latter is rare for posters unless the designer/photographer is well known). The manufacturer would also pay a licensing fee to Apple Records, which retains the right to use of the Beatles’ images.
Nothing would go to Michael Jackson’s estate, who own a portion of some of the Beatles *music*, not their photographic image.
I do wonder why people answer questions without having any idea…
I would guess it would probably go to the Michael Jackson estate, seeing how he owned most of their songs. The rest of the profits would go to the manufacturers and the store where you purchased it. (YOU RULE!)

It’s divided up among many players including: The store where you bought it, the employees in that store, the warehouse it was distributed from, the truck driver who delivered it, and countless others. Most likely, the original photographer and the Beatles themselves will not get a penny, as their rights have long since been sold or expired. Rest assured, Michael Jackson’s estate doesn’t figure in this at all. He only owned a portion of The Beatles’ publishing rights to their songs.
