In 1977, she became joint heir to her father’s estate, alongside her grandfather and great-grandmother, after her father passed of a heart attack. Like her father, Presley became a singer-songwriter. And was in the public eye for “several high-profile” marriages — including one where she married the “King of Pop” Michael Jackson in 1994.
On September 9th 1994, everyone at work and every kid at school asked the same question …

According to TMZ, Presley was just seen at the Golden Globes on Tuesday evening in Beverly Hills. She and her mother arrived hand in hand and watched actor Austin Butler win an award for his portrayal of her father Elvis Presley in the film Elvis.

The 54-year-old has four children which include actress Riley Keough, twin girls Harper and Finley Lockwood, and son Benjamin Keough, who reportedly died by suicide in 2020.
The outlet added that Presley owned and operated Elvis Presley Enterprises until 2005 when she sold it off. However, Lisa Marie Presley was still the owner of Graceland, her father’s “famed Memphis estate.”
Our prayers are with the entire Presley family during this time.
