When Riley Keough inherited Graceland, she started doing her part to keep her grandfather’s legacy alive; in 2023, she hosted a televised holiday special at Elvis Presley’s iconic home titled “Christmas at Graceland.” On SiriusXM’s “Inside Graceland,” she said that she enjoyed working on the project, but it sounds like it’s difficult for her to spend a lot of time at the popular tourist destination. “Now, a lot of my family’s buried there, so it’s a place of great sadness at this point in my life,” she told Vanity Fair. However, she has proven that she’s willing to fight tooth and nail to keep the estate in her family.
Graceland faced being sold in foreclosure in 2024 when Naussany Investments & Private Lending LLC claimed that Lisa Marie Presley had used it as collateral for a $3.8 million loan. In response to the scheduling of the property’s foreclosure sale, Keough filed a complaint accusing Naussany Investments of forging documents and being “a false entity,” per People. After a judge paused the sale, TMZ reported that Naussany Investments was possibly facing an FBI investigation.
According to a New York Post source, Keough was “traumatized” by the foreclosure attempt. However, Kelly Clarkson’s hit “Stronger” seems to be her theme song. She told Vanity Fair, “Parts of me have died and I’ve felt like my heart has exploded, but I also feel. … I have strengthened the qualities that have come about through adversity.
