Sole Heir to Lisa Marie Presley’s Estate

Riley became the sole trustee and heir to Lisa Marie’s estate after her passing, taking control of the legendary Graceland Mansion in Memphis and a 15% stake in Elvis Presley Enterprises (EPE), the company responsible for managing Elvis’s intellectual property and brand. While Graceland is held in trust, Riley has the controlling say over its management.

Lisa Marie had previously sold 85% of EPE for $100 million in 2005 but retained 100% ownership of Graceland. Despite Lisa Marie’s financial troubles—reportedly $16 million in debt—her estate still included valuable assets and $35 million in life insurance payouts. Riley inherited the estate alone after the tragic death of her brother Benjamin in 2020, and a brief legal dispute with her grandmother Priscilla Presley was settled out of court.

Riley Keough Career

Riley began modeling in her early teens, walking for Dolce & Gabbana at age 15 and later modeling for Christian Dior and appearing in international editions of Vogue, Elle, and L’Officiel.

Her acting career took off with roles in The Runaways (2010), Magic Mike (2012), and Mad Max: Fury Road (2015). In 2016, she starred in the critically acclaimed Starz series The Girlfriend Experience, earning Golden Globe and Gracie Award nominations.

In 2023, Riley played the lead in Amazon Prime Video’s hit series Daisy Jones & The Six, which earned her an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series.

Beyond acting, she co-founded a production company, Felix Culpa, and has producing credits on multiple indie films.

Personal Life

Born Danielle Riley Keough on May 29, 1989, in Santa Monica, California, she is the daughter of Lisa Marie Presley and musician Danny Keough. Riley spent much of her youth traveling between her parents’ homes in Los Angeles, Hawaii, and Graceland.

In 2015, she married stuntman Ben Smith-Petersen, whom she met while filming Mad Max: Fury Road. The couple has been known to maintain a relatively private life, and Riley has spoken openly about the grief of losing her brother Benjamin to suicide in 2020.

Riley later trained as a death doula, focusing on emotional and spiritual support during end-of-life care. She has described this work as deeply meaningful, saying, “We prepare rigorously for birth, but we don’t prepare for death.”

Real Estate

In 2018, Riley and her husband purchased a 1920s cottage in Silver Lake, Los Angeles, for just over $1.3 million. The two-bedroom, two-bathroom home was listed in 2024 for $1.6 million.
