millbank Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 Lisa Marie Presley is keeping Graceland but selling the bulk of the Elvis estate, including rights to her father's name and image, in a deal worth approximately $100 million. Elvis Presley Enterprises Inc. announced an agreement Thursday to sell 85 percent of its assets to businessman Robert F.X. Sillerman, founder of music and sports promoter SFX Entertainment. The Presley estate brought in almost $45 million last year. Sillerman said more aggressive marketing, supported by capital raised through a new publicly traded company, can make Elvis an even bigger earner. just seems wrong....... Rights to Elvis sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rights to Elvis sold 163746[/snapback] Wrong from a family and business perspective. The estate brought in 45M last year and she sold it for $100M. Sorry, but that just doesn't seem like a good deal for the Presley clan. Course Lisa Marie has made some bad calls in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R. Rich Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 I believe she still keeps both Elvis' personal properties and Graceland, the biggest cash cow. She's not totally stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
