Elvis Presley's $17M Payday, Priscilla's $50M Fraud Lawsuit, and New Tributes Keep the King's Legacy Alive

Elvis Presley BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Elvis Presley remains a magnet for headline drama, entertainment spectacle, and colossal payday action this week. Forbes dropped its annual rankings and The King made the top ten highest-paid departed celebrities with a reported $17 million in earnings since last November. The latest speculation underscores just how far Elvis’s brand power extends, 15% still owned by the Presley family but most of the empire now maneuvered by Authentic Brands Group; it’s merchandising, tours, and intellectual property galore in play, according to Forbes Australia. That means Graceland survives another year as a lucrative tourist magnet, untouched after last summer’s wild saga when scammers attempted to snatch the estate—fans can still expect ticket prices or licensing tweaks driven by the constant flux of estate control.

Meanwhile, legal fireworks in the Presley orbit are making even bigger noise. Priscilla Presley, 80, is locked in a fierce $50 million fraud lawsuit escalation as of late October. Former business managers Brigitte Kruse and Kevin Fialko have ramped up allegations about hidden asset deals, likeness rights, and betrayal—the court battle now threatens Priscilla’s own $10 million net worth, with potential consequences for Graceland, royalty splits, and asset sales that could ripple out and reshape Elvis’s business legacy. Her countersuit for elder abuse and claims of financial coercion keep the saga headline-worthy, and her son Navarone Garibaldi is tangled up in the drama as well. Finance Monthly reports that only a quarter of celebrity estate feuds resolve without significant wealth erosion, so fans and business partners are watching every legal twist.

The entertainment world keeps pumping out Presley tributes. Vince King, recognized by Elvis Presley Enterprises, is set to bring his award-winning act to Texas on November 19 for a sold-out show. More tribute events pop up everywhere—from a Viva The King Vegas Experience in Puerto Rico on November 22 to "The King Comes Home" tribute show in Las Vegas on November 29. Elvis Week 2025 just wrapped, with Graceland packed for panels, shows, and collectibles discussions. Both fans and new audiences are rediscovering his influence at venues and museums, including the Grammy Museum Mississippi’s Rock ‘N’ Roll Blues Family Day on November 15.

In pop culture, Riley Keough, Elvis’s granddaughter, just made a splash posing with her twin daughters for the Autumn issue of EQ Luxe—photos buzzed across media on November 2, keeping the dynasty in the public eye. The Official Elvis Presley Fan Club’s November E-Zine pumped even more digital nostalgia for diehards, spotlighted on Facebook and other socials.

Finally, a new Elvis movie is confirmed in the pipeline for 2026 distribution, per Emiel Maier’s Elvis Presley News Report. With fresh vinyl, book releases, and multimillion-dollar auctions, Elvis Presley remains a worldwide phenomenon whose myth, music, and money chase headlines and fuel gossip just as fiercely as ever.
