Back in 2001, Memphis music legend Elvis Presley topped Forbes’ first list tracking the highest-earning celebrity estates. Since then — over the course of the last 25 years — the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll has appeared on list annually earning more than $1.2 billion in total.
Elvis continued his streak in 2026, placing No. 4 on the list with an estimated $75 million in earnings, according to Forbes.
“Even decades after his death, the King’s popularity transcends music, drawing hundreds of thousands to his Graceland mansion each year and selling millions in licensed products,” the Forbes article stated.
In addition to Graceland and licensed products, Presley also enjoyed a cinematic moment in 2026 with the release of the Baz Luhrmann-directed documentary “EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert,” which took in $23.5 million at the box office.
