With a famous last name, it's no wonder that Lisa Marie Presley has created her own place in the music industry. Born to rock ‘n' roll legend Elvis Presley, she is the owner of Elvis Presley Enterprises, a $150 million corporation, and has been married to Hollywood favorites like Michael Jackson and Nicholas Cage.
Born to Elvis and Priscilla Presley in 1968, she is the only Presley child. She spent the first four years in Graceland before her parents split and she and her mother moved to California. After a stressful childhood, with her father's fatal drug overdose in 1977 and a separated household, Presley turned to music as her savior. She also turned to drugs, alcohol and parties as a teen before joining the Church of Scientology at 18.
When she was twenty she married musician Danny Keough. During this time she remained mostly out of the spotlight, recognized only when she attended Elvis-related events. After Presley and Keough's married ended after five-and-a-half years and two children, she fell head over heels for Michael Jackson. The two were married just twenty days after her split with Keough, but it was short-lived. Presley filed for divorce in 1996.
The Jackson-Presley married created loads of tabloid headlines for Presley, and she appeared on Vogue and established the Elvis Presley's Memphis restaurant and nightclub. She presented at the MTV and VH1 awards and established her own Scientology center in Memphis.
When she finally received her inheritance at 30, she had two short-lived relationships, one with John Oszajca and the other with Nicholas Cage. In 2003 she released her debut album with Capitol, To Whom It May Concern. It was that year's highest debuts, peaking at number five on Billboard. She continues to create tabloid headlines, and released her sophomore effort, Now What, in 2005.
