The New Memoir: 'Softly, as I Leave You' and The 2025 Turmoil
The biggest news surrounding Priscilla Presley in 2025 is the release of her highly anticipated memoir, *Softly, as I Leave You: Life After Elvis*. Released on September 23, 2025, the book promised to be her most candid and final account of her life, particularly the years following her divorce and the recent tragedy of her daughter's death.
The Heartbreaking Decision on Lisa Marie
The memoir contains a deeply personal and painful revelation that has dominated recent headlines: Priscilla's account of the day her daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, was taken off life support. Priscilla details the turmoil and gut-wrenching decision she faced, offering a mother’s perspective on the ultimate act of letting go. This intimate detail provides a fresh, yet heartbreaking, layer to the public's understanding of the family’s grief and the private struggles of a global icon.
Addressing the Riley Keough Claims
In the wake of Lisa Marie's passing, a highly publicized legal dispute arose over the control of the estate, including the lucrative Elvis Presley Enterprises (EPE) and Graceland. The dispute, which was ultimately settled, involved Priscilla and her granddaughter, actress Riley Keough. In 2025, Priscilla has been vocal in defending Riley, addressing what she calls "outrageous" claims about their relationship and the settlement, emphasizing that their bond remains strong and that the primary goal was always the preservation of the family's legacy and the care of Lisa Marie's twin daughters, Harper and Finley Lockwood.
The memoir and subsequent interviews have highlighted Priscilla's unwavering commitment to the Elvis brand, the integrity of Graceland, and her role as a matriarch navigating complex family dynamics under an unforgiving public microscope.
Priscilla’s Financial Empire and Net Worth in 2025
Beyond her personal life, Priscilla Presley is a shrewd businesswoman who is credited with single-handedly transforming the financial future of the Presley estate. When Elvis died in 1977, Graceland was costing a fortune to maintain. Priscilla took the reins, co-founding Elvis Presley Enterprises (EPE) and opening Graceland to the public in 1982. This strategic move turned the estate into a multi-million dollar global tourist destination.
Current Financial Standing
As of September 2025, Priscilla Presley's net worth is estimated to be approximately $10 million. While this figure may seem modest compared to some celebrity fortunes, it reflects her continued success in various ventures after her divorce settlement from Elvis, which included a one-time payment, spousal support, and a percentage of the royalties from Elvis's music publishing.
Her wealth comes from several key sources:
- Acting Career: Her long-running role on *Dallas* and the successful *Naked Gun* film franchise.
- Business Ventures: The success of her boutique in Los Angeles, which she opened after her divorce.
- EPE/Graceland Royalties: Her ongoing, though complex, financial ties to the Elvis Presley Enterprises and the Graceland trust.
- Book Sales and Public Appearances: Significant income generated from her memoirs, including the latest 2025 release, and paid speaking engagements.
The Men After The King: Priscilla’s Major Relationships Post-Elvis
A common question that continues to intrigue fans is why Priscilla never remarried after her divorce from Elvis in 1973. She has stated that no one could ever compare to Elvis, a sentiment that speaks to the unique and intense nature of their relationship. However, she did have several significant and long-term relationships that shaped her life and career.
These relationships demonstrate her efforts to build a life and identity outside of the King’s shadow, adding layers to her personal history:
1. Mike Stone (1972–1975): Her first public relationship post-Elvis was with her karate instructor, Mike Stone. Priscilla admitted to having an extramarital affair with Stone during the final years of her marriage to Elvis, a fact she has discussed in her previous memoirs.
2. Michael Edwards (1978–1985): Priscilla dated the actor and model Michael Edwards for eight years. Their relationship was significant but ended after a tumultuous period.
3. Marco Garibaldi (1984–2006): This was Priscilla’s longest relationship after Elvis, lasting 22 years. Garibaldi, a successful film producer and director, is the father of her son, Navarone Garibaldi. Their long partnership demonstrated her commitment to a stable, private family life, despite never formalizing the union with marriage.
4. Robert Kardashian Sr. (Briefly): In the early 1970s, Priscilla also briefly dated Robert Kardashian Sr., the late lawyer and father of the famous Kardashian siblings, adding a fascinating footnote to her dating history.
Priscilla Presley’s journey, particularly as detailed in her 2025 memoir, is a powerful testament to resilience. She transformed herself from a rock and roll wife into a self-made woman, a savvy businesswoman, and a dedicated matriarch. Her story, now fully laid bare, offers profound insights into the cost of fame, the weight of a legendary legacy, and the enduring strength required to live a life after the King.
