Lisa Marie Presley is Elvis’ only child. She previously controlled Elvis Presley Enterprises, but sold most of her stake to a private equity firm in 2005.
She retained control of Graceland, the Memphis (Tennessee) property owned by her father, where he was found unconscious in August 1977, before being taken to hospital. While his death was attributed to a heart attack, toxicology reports revealed elevated drug levels in the rock ‘n’ roll legend’s system.
Lisa Marie Presley was married four times, including Michael Jackson from 1994 to 1996 and Nicolas Cage from 2002 to 2004. She had four children. His son Benjamin Keough, born of his union with producer Danny Keough, committed suicide in July 2020 at the age of 27. She is also the mother of actress, model and director Riley Keough.
