Presley family via estate trust (Riley Keough, Harper & Finley Lockwood) A 15% minority stake in Elvis Presley Enterprises was retained by Lisa Marie Presley when she sold the other 85% in 2005. A Graceland representative stated that this 15% interest in EPE remained with her at the time of her death in January 2023. Under Lisa Marie’s trust arrangements and subsequent 2023 settlement, her three daughters (Riley Keough and twins Harper and Finley Lockwood) inherit her Elvis interests, with Riley serving as sole trustee; multiple reports describe them as now holding the continuing 15% stake in EPE through the family trust structure.
