Elvis Presley's $100M fortune gone, daughter Lisa Marie claims in lawsuit
By Benjamin Brown | Fox News
Elvis Presley's daughter can proceed with a lawsuit against her former business manager, whom she claims lost her father's $100 million fortune through poor investment decisions, a California Superior Court judge ruled this week.
During the hearing, the judge denied the motion of manager Barry Siegel to stop Lisa Marie Presley's lawsuit from moving forward, but gave Presley’s ex-manager the opportunity raise the issue again in the future if deemed appropriate, City News Service reported.
Siegel’s lawyers argued the complaint should’ve been filed in civil court instead of probate court so he could have the right to a jury trial, the paper reported. Probate court handles the assets and debts from a person who has died.
Amjad Mahmood Khan, an attorney for Presley, said they were "pleased" with the court's decision.
"We now look forward to conducting a complete factual investigation that will reveal the full extent of Mr. Siegel's gross mismanagement of Ms. Presley's finances and breaches of his obligations as trustee to safeguard the Presley estate," Khan said.
Siegel did not immediately return Fox News' request for comment.
Lisa Marie Presley is the sole heir to the estate of her father, who died at age 42 in 1977. She alleges that Siegel and his company, Provident Financial Management, “enriched himself with exorbitant fees” while dwindling down the fortune to less than $15,000 via 'reckless and negligent' business decisions, the Daily Mail reported.
Siegel has countersued for $800,000, alleging Lisa Marie Presley was responsible for the financial problems due to “uncontrollable spending habits,” according to the Daily Mail.
Presley claims her former manager gave himself an annual salary of $701,000 to manage the trust, while deceiving her of the true condition of her finances, the news outlet reported, citing court documents.
Attorneys for the singer and songwriter also included email correspondence between Presley and Siegel, in which he allegedly assured the King of Rock and Roll’s daughter that she was in “good shape” financially.
The biggest blunder Presley cites stems from Siegel’s decision to sell the majority of her trust's stock in Elvis Presley Enterprises in 2005. In return, Presley received cash and stock in "American Idol"'s future holding company, the Mail reported.
But the investment in "American Idol" ultimately went bankrupt, losing “$24.5 million of the $25 million in stock that was received in the sale of EPE” in just one week, according to the paper, citing court documents.
Presley’s next court appearance is scheduled for July 30, according to City News Service.

If she's the sole heir, doesn't that make her ultimately responsible for staying on top of it.

Many artists have learned the hard way that you cannot trust anyone to manage your money. If you do have someone work for you, you have to keep an eye on them and even hire someone to watch over them...and hope they don't collude.

People don't want to believe these things happened, but they do.

Poor Lisa Marie.
What a tough underprivileged life she's had to endure. Maybe the Jackson Estate can toss her some coins.

She will not get anything from MJ's Estate. I haven't heard anything about her mom in years.

Who'd knew the heir of one of the most successful recording artists in history [[I said one of them because I think MJ has now surpassed Elvis as the most successful solo recording artist of all time now) is now struggling with finances?

I don't know why that was brought up, she had been divorced from MJ since 1996. So it wouldn't make sense for MJ's estate to pay her.

Look at what happened to Florence Ballard and David Ruffin.

Besides the joy she brought into the Jackson entity ,Enduring that kiss alone should be worth another five or 6 million.

Yeah but Elvis sold 300 million records worldwide and at least nearly 200 million of those were HERE in the U.S., not to mention the money made from years of concert tours and films.

She sold the estate rights for $100 million and lost most of it due to bad management and decisions.

Flo and Ruff always had their money stolen because of the label they were with, plus they're known for which group they were in so it doesn't compare.

I am talking about Florence Ballard and David Ruffin were parts of two of the most successful music acts of the 1960s and their estates zeroed out similar to what has now happened to Elvis Presley. I don't know why you have to make it a competition between 3 well known, well loved, now deceased music artists by bringing up

Midnightman - " Yeah but Elvis sold 300 million records worldwide and at least nearly 200 million of those were HERE in the U.S., not to mention the money made from years of concert tours and films.
"

This is not suppose to be a competition. It sounds like to me that you are trying to belittle the accomplishments of Florence Ballard and David Ruffin and I am not having it! All three had more in common, than not. Did you know that all three of their families were poor and originated in Mississippi? All three grew up to become legendary music stars that made the history books. I don't mean to bring Ballard and Ruffin into this thread about Lisa Marie Presley's problems. I just mentioned them and you went off!

The news is better than any comedy show.

FROM POACHERS TO PREY

Lions devour three rhino hunters, leaving behind only shoes, bones

When members of the anti-poaching unit investigated, they recovered human remains, a high-powered rifle with a silencer, wire cutters, an axe and three pairs of shoes.
Nick Fox, the park’s owner, said the lions were shot with tranquilizer darts at first light so police forensic teams and the anti-poaching unit could comb the area for clues, and admitted it was not clear how many poachers may have been killed.
“The only body part we found was one skull and one bit of pelvis, everything else was completely gone,” he told Newsweek. “There is so little left that they don’t know exactly how many people were killed, we suspect three because we found three sets of shoes and three sets of gloves.”
He added: “They came heavily armed with hunting rifles and axes which we have recovered and enough food to last them for several days so we suspect they were after all of our rhinos here. But the lions are our watchers and guardians and they picked the wrong pride and became a meal.”
Police spokeswoman Captain Mali Govender said: “We do not know identities but firearms have been taken by the police and will be sent to the ballistics laboratory to see if they have been used in poaching before.”
In 2016, the reserve saw three of its rhinos shot dead by poachers who broke into the reserve to cut off their horns. All books with the reserve include an option Rhino Levy where the proceeds are donated to a fund fighting poaching.
The reserve is one of the most popular game reserves in the Eastern Cape and is home to Africa’s big five – elephants, buffalos and leopards as well as rhinos and lions.

IS THIS ELVIS' LEGACY HOUND DOG MEAT
Priscilla Presley holds dead dog while protesting dog meat trade with Kim Basinger
Attachment 14455
Priscilla Presley and actress Kim Basinger came together to make a strong statement against the trade of canine meat on Tuesday in Los Angeles.
Elvis' former wife and the "L.A. Confidential" star stood outside the Consulate General of the Republic of Korea dressed in black “stop dog meat” T-shirts worn over white scrubs. And while Basinger chose to hold up a sign with a graphic image of dead dogs in association with the Last Chance For Animals organization, Presley went a step further by holding a dead dog in her arms. The 73-year-old wore white gloves while holding the dog and appeared to sport a bandage at the tip of her nose during the protest. Actresses E.G. Daily and Donna D’Errico also joined Presley in carrying dead dogs in their arms for the protest.
According to The Blast, the stars took the dogs from a Los Angeles veterinarian and wanted to use them as a strong example of the "type of lovable dogs that are killed and used for consumption in South Korea.” The outlet also reported that dogs were “respectfully cremated" after the protest. Last Chance For Animals advocates for the end of dog meat trade in countries such as Korea and China. Its website noted that the protest also took place in Washington D.C. outside of the Korean Embassy and in Seoul, Korea, in Gwanghwamun Plaza.
According to the Animal Welfare Institute, South Korea slaughters an estimated 2 million dogs a year for canine meat trade, and Humane Society International estimated that a total of 30 million dogs around the world are killed for human consumption.
