ELVIS PRESLEY made money. Priscilla built wealth.

My radio played an old Elvis song and I got thinking…..

When Elvis died in 1977, (I was tiny but gutted btw) … but Priscilla wasn’t handed a golden empire.

She was handed:

• Graceland — which was losing millions a year

• A tiny inheritance for Lisa Marie

• No cash

• Debts, a legal mess, and no ongoing income

(as Elvis had signed away a lot of his music rights)

Most people would have sold everything just to survive.

But Priscilla didn’t.

She made one of the boldest wealth moves I’ve ever seen — she turned a financial burden into a generational asset.

She transformed Graceland from a liability into:

• one of the most visited houses in America

• a profitable tourist destination

• the centre of a global Elvis brand

• a business worth over £100 million

• long-term security for her daughter and grandchildren

And she did all of this without singing a note.

Read that again.

It reminded me that wealth isn’t always about talent or what you earn in life or how good you are or even how popular — it’s about what you build, what you protect, and what you refuse to give up on for your family.

If Priscilla can turn a massive debt and cash losing asset into a huge legacy, then surely we can take the little opportunities in front of us and shape them into something powerful too.

I’m early on my journey. But I truly believe that the best is yet to come.

Like and vibe me a song title if you believe its little less conversation… a little more action! 😜😜😜😁😁😁 x
