Priscilla Presley Has a King-Sized Bank Account (2024)

Priscella Presley has been in the public eye since her relationship with Elvis Presley started in the 1960s, but there’s been a resurgence of interest in the style icon since director Baz Luhrmann's Elvis movie was released last year. And now, Presley is getting a movie of her own, as Priscilla has just been released. Written and directed by Sofia Coppola, the film is based on Presley’s 1985 memoir Elvis and Me, and Presley also serves as an executive producer. Cailee Spaeny stars as the titular character, and Jacob Elordi plays Elvis.

Presley was born Priscella Ann Wagner in Brooklyn on May 24, 1945, but she later changed her last name to Beaulieu when her mother remarried. During her childhood, her family moved around a lot due to her stepfather being in the Air Force, and they spent time in Connecticut, New Mexico, Maine and Texas before moving to Germany, where she ended up meeting Elvis.

Presley moved to Memphis to be with Elvis in 1963, and they lived together in Graceland with his family before getting married in 1967. 1968 saw the arrival of their daughter Lisa Marie, but by 1972, the couple had separated, and their divorce was finalized in 1973.

Despite their divorce, the couple remained close friends, and Presley is a large part of the reason why Elvis’ legacy and estate remains intact today. Curious about how that’s impacted her finances? Here’s what we know about Presley’s net worth today.

What is Priscilla Presley’s net worth?

Priscilla Presley’s net worth is $50 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. Following her divorce from Elvis, Presley opened a boutique in Los Angeles called Bis & Beau in 1973 with her friend and stylist Olivia Bis.

When Elvis died in 1977, his father Vernon was executor of his estate and owner of Graceland, and Priscilla was named as successor upon Vernon’s death in 1977. Once Priscilla became executor and president of Elvis Presley Enterprises, the estate was only worth $1 million, but Presley was able to turn Graceland into a tourist spot, and it was deemed a National Historic Landmark in 2006. Graceland is said to take in $10 million a year, and the entire estate is now believed to be worth between $400 - 500 million. When Presley’s daughter Lisa Marie turned 25, she became owner of the estate, (as well as Elvis’ personal items) and in 2004 she sold 85% of Elvis Presley Enterprises’ assets for around $100 million. Lisa Marie’s estate is now being held in trust for her daughters Riley Keough and Harper and Finley Lockwood, and Keough is now the sole owner of Graceland.

After Lisa Marie’s death in early 2023, Presley received a $1 million payment from Lisa Marie’s life insurance policy, as well as $100,000 a year for her role as special advisor of the promenade trust related to its shareholder interest in Elvis Presley Enterprises, according to People.

As for real estate, Presley owned a home in California for many years before selling it in 2020 for $13 million. She then bought a $4.8 million home in Los Angeles. And in addition to Priscilla, Presley has assisted with producing Elvis-focused films and TV shows like Finding Graceland and Agent Elvis, and in 2015 she executive produced the album, “If I Can Dream: Elvis Presley With the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.”

And while most may assume that Presley’s income solely comes from her marriage to Elvis, Presley has made a name for herself in quite a few different ventures. She starred as Jenna Wade on Dallas for 5 years, and she also starred in three movies in The Naked Gun series. Presley has also made cameos on shows like Melrose Place, Touched by an Angel, and Spin City, and she’s starred as The Wicked Queen in on-stage productions of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in the UK.

Business wise, Presley has launched several fragrances in the ‘80s and ‘90s, and in 2006 she collaborated with Australian designer Bruno Schiavi for a line of bed lines called the Priscilla Presley Collection.
