Riley Keough, Elvis’s Granddaughter, Now Owns Graceland

Graceland, the iconic Memphis mansion that once pulsed with the energy of the King of Rock, now rests in the hands of his bloodline. Riley Keough, actress and filmmaker, is the current owner of the legendary estate — a role that comes not just from inheritance, but from responsibility.

As the eldest daughter of Lisa Marie Presley and granddaughter of Elvis himself, Riley stepped into a delicate legacy when her mother passed away in 2023. Following the terms of her mother’s will, Riley became the sole trustee of the estate, which means she now oversees not just the 14-acre property on Elvis Presley Boulevard, but also the vast cultural footprint it represents.

Elvis bought Graceland in 1957, transforming it from a quiet family home into a shrine for fans around the world. Today, it draws over 600,000 visitors annually — a museum of sequined jumpsuits, vintage Cadillacs, and personal mementos frozen in time. Though much of the mansion is open to the public, the private residence areas remain off-limits, preserving a sense of intimacy amid the fame.

Riley, known for her work in films like Mad Max: Fury Road and the recent Daisy Jones & The Six series, has largely stayed out of the spotlight when it comes to her role as custodian of her grandfather’s legacy. But her stewardship ensures that Graceland continues not just as a tourist destination, but as a living archive of music history.

Under her care, the spirit of Elvis — the man behind the legend — remains close to home, where it belongs.
