Much of the public outrage stems from the massive financial assets tied directly to Navarone’s famous relatives. In June 2023, confirmed that he was legally designated to inherit a one-ninth portion of the trust belonging to his late half-sister, Lisa Marie Presley.

The inheritance deal followed an intense legal dispute between Lisa Marie’s daughter, Riley Keough, and Priscilla. Riley eventually secured the position of sole trustee, while Priscilla took charge of Navarone’s specific financial sub-trust to prevent a messy court battle.

However, the family brand faced even larger financial chaos shortly after. An August 2025 report by revealed that Priscilla was targeted with a massive $50 million lawsuit.

Her former associates, Brigitte Kruse and Kevin Fialko, accused her of fraud and contract violations. The business partners claimed she secretly sold her branding rights decades ago while continuing to collect major investments.

The lawsuit even featured highly disturbing claims regarding Lisa Marie’s tragic 2023 hospitalization. The plaintiffs alleged Priscilla cut off life-saving medical care prematurely to seize control of the Graceland estate.

The lawsuit also alleged that Priscilla withdrew life-saving medical treatment from Lisa Marie in 2023 with the goal of gaining control of the estate, a claim her attorney denied. | Source: Getty Images
