It's been sixty years after his death, but James Dean continues to rein supreme of all the actors...in terms of their autographs, that is.

Memorabilia website, Paul Fraser Collectibles, revealed in a study that the "Rebel Without a Cause" actor managed to garner up £18,000 at an auction, which estimates to roughly $27,871.



The actor, who was famous for roles like "Giant" and "East of Eden," beat out martial arts legend Bruce Lee, who's autograph was valued at £11,000, or $17,029 for first place, and naval hero Lord Nelson, who rounded out the top three with an impressive, £10,500, or $16,254.

According to The Daily Mail, there were also top prizes for anyone living as well. The big winner was Cuban dictator Fidel Castro's, who raked in a total of £3,750, or roughly $4,250. Castro's signature is so rare given that he almost never signs autographs because of his entourage.
