What is Priscilla Presley's Net Worth?
Priscilla Presley is an American actress and businesswoman who has a net worth of $10 million. Priscilla Presley is best known for her marriage toElvis Presley. As an actress, she is known for starring in "The Naked Gun" film trilogy and the TV series "Dallas." Priscilla founded Elvis Presley Enterprises in 1981 and ran the company until the late 80s. She is also an author, and her 1985 memoir, "Elvis and Me: The True Story of the Love Between Priscilla Presley and the King of Rock N' Roll," was a New York Times bestseller.
As we detail in the next section below, Priscilla was only the trustee of Elvis' estate between his death in 1977 and Lisa Marie's 25th birthday in 1990. For much of the decade following Elvis' death, the estate's financial position was in disarray. The estate eventually made a recovery thanks to licensing deals and the sale of various assets, but Priscilla was never a major beneficiary.
Following Lisa Marie Presley's death in January 2023, Priscilla's granddaughter Riley Keough was named the trust controller of Elvis' Graceland mansion and given 15% ownership of the late singer's estate. This reportedly infuriated Priscilla and began a $35 million trust fund dispute. However, Priscilla Presley recently commented on the matter, saying the legal feud drama is "a bunch of BS." The feud was settled out of court.
Elvis & Lisa Marie's Estates
Upon Elvis' death in 1977 at the age of 42, he left his entire estate to his daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, with Priscilla as trustee. Unfortunately, at the time of his death, Elvis' estate was in a difficult financial position and was worth just $1 million at that time. Lisa inherited full ownership of his estate upon her 25th birthday. At that point, the estate's value had grown to be worth $100 million.
In 2005, Lisa sold an 85% stake in Elvis Presley Enterprises for a one-time $100 million payout. She maintained 100% ownership of the Graceland mansion.
Unfortunately, Lisa Marie died suddenly in January 2023 at the age of 54. In 2016, she adjusted her will to cut her mother out and add her two eldest children, Benjamin andRiley Keough, as her sole trustees. Benjamin tragically died of suicide in 2020, which meant Riley became the sole trustee upon Lisa Marie's death. Riley has twin half-siblings through Lisa Marie's relationship with Michael Lockwood. Those twins, who were under 18 at the time of Lisa Marie's death, will eventually also own a piece of the Elvis estate.
In summary, the total wealth of Priscilla Presley reflects strategic moves.
