Elvis Presley Net Worth at Death: Salary, How Much Graceland Costs - STYLECASTER

From his humble beginnings in Mississippi, to his Graceland mansion in Memphis, Elvis Presley’s net worth at the time of his death was a fortune fit for a king—especially when we’re talking about the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll himself.

Up ahead, we’re diving into everything there is to know about Elvis Presley’s net worth, from how much he had in the bank upon his death in 1977, to who inherited his massive fortune and turned Graceland into what it is today.

Born in Tupelo, Mississippi on January 8, 1935, Elvis Aron Presley was raised by working-class parents as an only child after his twin brother, Jesse, died in their mother’s womb before birth.

After nearly 30 years in the business, Elvis Presley’s net worth at the time of his death was pretty substantial.

Adjusting for inflation, Elvis Presley’s net worth when he died would round out to around $20 million by today’s standards.

Elvis burned through millions in real estate, his divorce from Priscilla Presley, his prescription drug addiction and on his entourage, comprised of many family members and close friends.

After Elvis passed away in August 1977 at the age of 42, the “Jailhouse Rock” singer left his fortune to his father, his grandmother and his daughter, Lisa Marie, whom he welcomed with ex-wife Priscilla Presley in 1968.

Given that Lisa Marie was still a child, her mother, Priscilla, became the primary executor of her ex-husband’s estate, as stipulated by her former father-in-law’s will.

By the time Lisa Marie was old enough to take control of her father’s trust, Priscilla had grown her daughter’s inheritance to an estimated $100 million.

And as recently as 2017, Lisa Marie received an estimated monthly payment of $100,000 per month from her father’s estate, according to E.

All in all, the Presley estate is worth anywhere between $400 to $500 million as of 2020, according to a Presley estate executive cited in a report by Rolling Stone.
