About the King


If I say Elvis Presley, you probably picture a brightly lit stage, his unmistakable pompadour, and thousands of fans singing,

"We can't go on together, with suspicious minds..."

​

After all, Elvis was—and still is—a global icon.

An artist who revolutionized music and amassed an ENORMOUS fortune.

​

But what few people know is that after his death, his estate was on the verge of being lost—all because he didn’t plan his legacy properly.

​

During his lifetime, Elvis was known for his extravagant lifestyle: luxury cars, massive mansions, private jets, jewelry, and lavish gifts to friends and family without any financial control. Despite generating hundreds of millions of dollars in his era, by the time he died, his fortune had dwindled to just $5 million.

​

But the real problem came afterward.

​

His daughter, Lisa Marie, was only nine years old when he passed away, and she couldn’t access her inheritance until she turned 25.

​
That didn’t stop the IRS, which claimed its share—three-quarters of the estate vanished in taxes and legal fees, while the rest was squandered by its administrators.

​

By the time Lisa Marie asked about her father’s money, someone had to tell her… What money? Elvis’ estate was on the brink of ruin.

​

Thankfully, her mother, Priscilla, took control and made a key decision to protect her daughter’s future.

Instead of letting the inheritance disappear, she transformed Graceland—Elvis’ home—into a tourist attraction.

​

Not only did this move help safeguard the family’s future, but it also turned a vanishing inheritance into a profitable business that continues to generate millions today.

​

If you care about your wealth and your family—not necessarily in that order—here’s what you need to know:

  • Making money isn’t enough—it’s just the first step. The next one is protecting it.
  • Poorly planned inheritances can be devoured by taxes.
  • A badly structured will can put your legacy and your family’s future at risk.
  • Lack of financial education is the most important expense in your life

Look at what I learned today from the great Isra Bravo. Imagine you are born today. Yes… today. Imagine now that your parents want to torture you.

Coming back from holidays always brings me great things. Lots of work. Interesting work. Jet lag. An amazing inside force that pushes me to achieve more.

But do it as an external observer. As a reader of the situation. As an avid student looking for an A. Check what I learned from a project that went...
