So just how rich is Elvis Presley, as his estate continues earning to this day? Elvis’ estimated net worth is $300 million, and he is second only to Michael Jackson on the list of deceased celebrities whose estates are still making money, with as much as an estimated $55 million in posthumous earnings per year since his untimely death. Although his unique combination of African-American rhythm and blues and country music was at first condemned by conservative American authorities – mostly because his wild performances on stage were then considered “inappropriate” – to many he represented a huge part of the birth of mainstream rock ‘n’ roll.
Elvis Presley became a worldwide phenomenon virtually overnight in 1956, with the release of the hit song Heartbreak Hotel. This musical and cultural icon rose to fame in 1950’s, and even so long after his death in 1977, he is still almost as popular as ever.
Elvis Aaron Presley was born on 8 January 1935, in Tupelo, Mississippi USA, and was a singer and actor, whose name is inevitably associated with titles “The King” or “The King of Rock and Roll”.
