Lisa Marie Presley struggled to keep her finances in order before her death.
Elvis Presley’s only child died last Thursday, only 54 years old. According to TMZ, she suffered two cardiac arrests after she was placed in a coma in the hospital and her life was not saved.
Now new information is coming to light which suggests that Lisa Marie Presley also had financial concerns before her death.
Among other things, she is said to have had a monthly consumption of 92,000 dollars (910,000 Norwegian kroner), despite the fact that she received 104,000 dollars (just over one million Norwegian kroner) from Elvis Presley Enterprises every month.
These are numbers that have been extracted from The Blastand which Presley had to present before Christmas in connection with the parental court case for the twins Harper and Finley (14), who she has with her ex-husband Michael Lockwood.
Here, Lisa Marie Presley also stated that she had just over NOK 940,000 in cash and around NOK seven million in securities such as shares and bonds.
Big numbers, you might think, but Presley stated at the same time that she owes close to ten million kroner to the American tax authorities.
Lisa Marie Presley inherited her father’s business empire, Elvis Presley Enterprises, on her 25th birthday in 1993. According to New York Post the value of the inheritance was close to a billion kroner.
It had not always been this way. When Elvis died in 1977, the business empire was in dire financial straits, but Elvis’ widow – and Lisa Marie’s mother – Priscilla Presley took charge of the business, turning the family home Graceland in Memphis into a tourist attraction and turning bad times around.
There have since been several lawsuits related to Lisa Marie Presley’s ownership of Elvis Presley Enterprises.
Lisa Marie Presley had four children. Besides the 14-year-old twins, she has daughter Riley Keough, 33, while son Ben took his own life in 2020, aged 27.
