Along with Kristen Stewart, Riley Keough stars in the current smash Amazon Prime series Daisy Jones & the Six. Keough originally gained Hollywood attention for her appearance in the Joan Jett film “The Runaways” in 2010.
The 34-year-old is the daughter of Lisa Marie Presley and the granddaughter of Elvis Presley. She is also an actor, producer, and model.
Riley Keough Net Worth
American actress, producer, and model Riley Keough has a $5 million fortune. Riley Keough is Elvis Presley’s grandchild because her mother is Lisa Marie Presley. At the tender age of 15, Riley made her modeling debut in a Dolce & Gabbana show in Milan, Italy.
She has appeared on the covers of numerous magazines, including “Vogue” (both the American and Korean editions), “Elle Japan,” “Jalouse,” and “L’Officiel.” She has also modeled for Christian Dior. Keough has starred as Christine Reade in the Starz anthology series “The Girlfriend Experience” (2016) and has been in over thirty films and television shows.
Her film credits include “The Runaways” (2010), “Magic Mike” (2012), and “Mad Max: Fury Road” (2015). Additionally, she has produced both “Dixieland” films (2017 & 2018). The Amazon Prime Video series “Daisy Jones & The Six,” adapted from the best-selling Taylor Jenkins Reid novel of the same name, cast Riley in the titular character in late 2019.
Riley Keough Becomes Sole Heir to Elvis Presley’s Estate
Elvis Presley bequeathed his whole fortune to his daughter Lisa Marie after his untimely death in 1977 at the age of 44. The estate that Elvis left behind was only worth $1 million when he passed away, unfortunately. After turning 25, Lisa was given complete control of her father’s estate. By that time, the value of the estate had increased to $100 million.
To the tune of $100 million, Lisa sold 85% of Elvis Presley Enterprises in 2005. She never lost any of her original ownership of the Graceland estate.
Lisa Marie’s untimely death at age 54 occurred in January of 2023. Lisa Marie claimed to be $16 million in debt in the years before her death, the result of decades of lavish spending and alleged financial mismanagement.
Despite her financial woes, Lisa Presley left behind 100% ownership of the Graceland home and a 15% share in Elvis Presley Enterprises. Upon her passing, her life insurance paid out a staggering $35 million.

Lisa Marie revised her will in 2016 to name only her son Benjamin and daughter-in-law Riley as trustees, removing their mother from the role. After Lisa Marie passed away in 2020, Riley was left as the lone trustee due to the terrible suicide of Benjamin that same year.
Because of Lisa Marie’s connection with Michael Lockwood, Riley has two half-siblings. Although they were minors when Lisa Marie died, the twins will inherit an equal share of Elvis’s wealth when they turn 18.
Priscilla made a brief effort to exclude Riley as Lisa Marie’s only heir to the inheritance. Priscilla said in her appeal that Lisa Marie’s signature looked substantially different from prior signatures and that her own name was misspelled at least once in the 2016 revision of the will.
There was apparently an out-of-court settlement between Riley and Priscilla, with Priscilla receiving a portion of Lisa Marie’s $35 million life insurance payouts.
