INHERITANCE FROM ELVIS A PRETTY PENNY
Elvis Presley made good money, and he spent good money – so much that, by the time he died in 1977, he was worth about $5 million, not very much at all, given 20 years of income that included millions of records sold, more than two dozen movies and lucrative concerts. At 35, Lisa Marie Presley, his only daughter, has considerably more in the bank than ol’ Dad did. In February 1993, she turned 25 and inherited her father’s estate, which Newsday estimated was worth between $100 million and $150 million, thanks to the huge profits earned by opening Graceland to the public, as well as the King’s continuing record sales. Ten years later, Elvis is bigger than ever. Graceland remains the second most-visited private residence in the country, right after the White House. And the recent success of the best-of collection “Elv1s: 30 #1 Hits,” which has sold more than 3 million copies, means that Lisa Marie doesn’t have to worry about paying the bills if her own CD doesn’t soar up the charts.
