Priscilla Presley has reportedly revealed her significant income for 2024 as part of an elder-abuse lawsuit she filed last year against a former ᴀssociates

In July of last year, the 79-year-old ex-wife of Elvis Presley filed suit against Brigitte Kruse, Kevin Fialko, Vahe Sislyan and Lynn Walker Wright, accusing them of financial elder abuse.

At the time, she accused the group of ex-ᴀssociates of having stolen over $1 million of her money.

And in a new filing, Presley revealed that the amount allegedly stolen was about the same amount she made for all of 2024.

The mother of the late Lisa Marie Presley reported having made an impressive $1 million last year ’34 paid appearances worldwide,’ according to Radar Online.

Presley also weighed in on her paid appearances from 2023 in the same filing.

Priscilla Presley, 79, revealed in a new filing in her elder-abuse lawsuit that she made an eye-popping $1M from ’34 paid appearances worldwide’ in 2024, according to Radar Online; seen in October in LA

She reportedly said she was unable to recall ‘how much [she] actually received in income from’ a total of 12 public appearances. 

Among her 2024 paid appearances, she noted that she allegedly made $62,000 from just two events held in Florida.

‘For my income, I rely heavily on my appearances, which are typically done as part of a series of stage discussion I call “An Evening With Priscilla,”‘ she explained in her filing. ‘Defendants know that this is my primary source of income and how I am able to pay my bills.’

‘Recently, in an effort to directly and improperly interfere with my ability to earn a living, [Brigitte] and [the other ᴀssociate] [through the companies they created for their benefit] have begun barraging my contractual partners, ᴀssociates, personal ᴀssistants and family members, with a series of baseless cease and desist letters, demanding that everyone in my life stop doing business with me or ᴀssisting me earn a living,’ Presley alleged, according to Radar Online.

‘I have had to incur significant fees and costs trying to defend against these baseless threatening letters,’ she added.

According to the original lawsuit filing obtained by DailyMail.com, Presley claims Brigitte Kruse, Kevin Fialko, Vahe Sislyan and Lynn Walker Wright ‘preyed on her’ and took control of her finances ‘forcing her into a form of indentured servitude’ in a ‘meticulously planned and abhorrent scheme.’

Priscilla says she met Kruse – who sued her in February for breach of contract – in 2021 when Kruse ran a business selling Elvis memorabilia through an auction house.

The lawsuit claims Kruse convinced Priscilla her former financial advisors were either ‘deceitful or incompetent’ – before allegedly duping her into signing contracts and forming companies which allowed her and her ᴀssociates to get 80 per cent of her income – leaving Presley with ‘just 20 percent of her own company.’

Priscilla claims the group left her with minority shares in companies they created which profited off her ‘name, image and likeness’. The lawsuit is also against Priscilla Presley Partners, LLC. 

The lawsuit alleges funds from 2023 biopic Priscilla which starred Jacob Elordi and Cailee Spaeny were also misappropriated and brands Kruse a ‘con artist and pathological liar.’

Presley also claims her ex-business ᴀssociates ‘torpedoed’ a deal for the star to get an ownership interest in a cosmetics company — but instead settled for a $300,000 upfront payment — which she says they put in their own bank accounts.

The lawsuit claims the ᴀssociates were ‘setting up new accounts at their preferred banks (and poisoning the relationship Presley had for many years with her financial insтιтutions), adding themselves to her bank accounts, transferring funds between accounts (and to their own personal accounts), and entering into sham, insider transactions for their own benefit.’

The lawsuit also claims Kruse and ᴀssociates took $40,000 out of an account for her son Navarone Garibaldi without authorization, tried to make deals related to the late Lisa Marie Presley’s estate and fraudulently charged Priscilla for moving and storage expenses.

Priscilla — who is represented by Marty Singer — is suing Kruse for more than $1 million in damages and wants the contracts she signed with Kruse and the other defendants voided. 

Legal representatives for Kruse and Kevin Fialko told DailyMail.com: ‘The suit filed is a retaliatory lawsuit due to the one filed by Priscilla’s business partners last year. 

‘We are confident that the facts will speak for themselves and justice will prevail. It saddens all of us who dropped our lives to provide aid to a woman who needed help and she is now attempting to use her celebrity status to ruin the lives of kind, hardworking people. 

The lawsuit claims Kruse convinced Priscilla her former financial advisors were either ‘deceitful or incompetent’ — before allegedly duping her into signing contracts and forming companies which allowed her and her ᴀssociates to get 80 percent of her income — leaving Presley with ‘just 20 percent of her own company.” Pictured in January 2024

‘Thank you to all of our supporters who have stood by us during this difficult time. We will continue to focus on our business and look forward to our day in court. The truth will come out by way of evidence and not rumors. There will be no further comment at this time as we respect the judicial process.’

in February 2024  Kruse said in her lawsuit against the star that she prevented her ‘financial ruin and public embarrᴀssment.’

Kruse said in legal docs reviewed by TMZ that she and the actress began a company Priscilla Presley Partners in 2022.

In the court papers, which were filed last September, Kruse said that she provided management to Priscilla for her business and personal affairs at a critical time when the celebrity was running perilously low on funds.

Priscilla had outstanding tax debts of $700,000 at the time, Kruse told the court.

Kruse said Presley had been ‘about 60 days away from financial collapse’ when she swooped in and got her affairs in order.

Kruse told the court that she spent ‘a significant amount of money and time’ working on projects for Priscilla to capitalize on from publicity of the Sofia Coppola biopic Priscilla, which was released in October of 2023.

Kruse, who is suing for breach of contract, said that Priscilla in August of 2023 ceased all contact with her and has not compensated her for money she’s made on projects that she had worked on.

in February 2024 Kruse said in her lawsuit against the star that she prevented her ‘financial ruin and public embarrᴀssment’ 

Priscilla, who’s been seen in films such as The Naked Gun trilogy and The Adventures of Ford Fairlane, has filed papers requesting the court dismiss the lawsuit, according to the outlet.

Priscilla’s lawyer Singer said that the star ceased working with Kruse when she found out ‘Kruse and her ᴀssociate were attempting to misappropriate Ms. Presley’s ᴀssets and were engaging in other acts of wrongdoing.’

Singer said Priscilla ‘made significant claims against PPP and its principals Brigitte Kruse and Kevin Fialko for misappropriating hundreds of thousands of dollars long before this specious lawsuit was filed.’

He added: ‘We fully anticipate that my client will be vindicated and obtain a judgment against them.’ 

She was posed alongside Priscilla in an August 27, 2021 Instagram post in which she advertised a September 4, 2021 luncheon in Beverly Hills, California.

On December 30, 2022, Kruse advertised an event featuring Priscilla slated for January 5, 2023 at the The Vineyard Wine Bar & Healthy Bistro in Orlando, Florida.

In an October 2021 bio on her social media page, Kruse was described as a ‘founder and lead auctioneer for world-renowned auction house,’ ‘a powerful force in the auction industry’ and ‘an amazing advocate for those less fortunate.’

The description continued: ‘From her record breaking auctions in entertainment memorabilia, haute couture fashion, fine jewelry and Royal artifacts she still has never stopped giving back to her community and those causes which are important to her.’
