Riley Keough – the first granddaughter of music icon Elvis Presley – was born into fame, but the spotlight on her has reached new highs in the past year, for a myriad of reasons.The star's famous family, particularly her grandfather, was the focus of the award-winning Baz Luhrmann biopic Elvis, starring Austin Butler. Her family received increased attention during press roll-out for the film, as well as, unfortunately, following the January 12th death of her mother Lisa Marie Presley, and the subsequent legal battle over her estate between Riley and Priscilla Presley.Plus, Riley is now the star of Daisy Jones & the Six, the highly-anticipated book-to-television adaptation based on a novel from Taylor Jenkins Reid, which hit Prime Video March 3rd, and its tenth and final episode airs March 24th.WATCH: Lisa Marie Presley's last on-screen interview with daughter Riley KeoughMORE: Riley Keough is uber-glam in feathered robe and knee-high leather bootsWith newfound success and attention, and, sadly, after becoming the sole trustee of her mom's million-dollar estate, Riley's net worth is about to change too.Though she has a reported net worth of $5 million, granted that she gets to remain sole trustee of Lisa Marie's estate – Priscila contested the decision to make her so – it will only become bigger.MORE: Riley Keough shares intimate details of marriage as she gives rare glimpse into relationshipShe and her grandmother have been at odds since Lisa Marie's passing, especially over an amendment she made to her will which made Riley, as opposed to Priscilla and Lisa Marie's former business manager Barry Siegel, the sole trustee.

Riley Keough has mixed emotions about the ongoing battle over Lisa Marie Presley's estate.A source tells ET that «the family drama is the last thing Riley wants to be dealing with» and that she's «deeply upset at how things are unfolding.» That being said, the source said «she hopes to still be a huge part of Harper and Finley's lives.»A second source said, «Riley is hopeful everything in her family will work out.»As ET previously reported, Lisa Marie's ex, Michael Lockwood, formally asked the court to appoint him as guardian ad litem so he can represent Lockwood's twin daughters — and Riley's sisters — Harper Vivienne Ann Lockwood and Finley Aaron Love Lockwood.In the docs, obtained by ET, Lockwood clearly states he wants to officially be appointed as the twins' guardian because «the minor is a beneficiary of a trust at issue before the probate court» and the «minor requires appointment of a guardian ad litem to represent her interests in the proceeding.»Just days after Lockwood's request, Lisa Marie's attorney, Gary Fishbein, attended a custody hearing via Zoom, and told Judge Joseph Lipner that the custody case should be dismissed because nothing else regarding the custody battle is pending and his client is «sadly no longer with us.» Lisa Marie died on Jan. 12.Fishbein said their marriage status was dissolved and child support — for Harper and Finley — order survives.

Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin as some of her reference points for her characterisation of the title character in Amazon Prime Video’s Daisy Jones And The Six. Keough explained that she looked at men for inspiration for Daisy Jones as she felt like the show’s protagonist was “ahead of her time” for a frontwoman in a band in the 1970s.“I was like, ‘I’m not going to exclusively look at women; I want to look at Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix’. I pulled influence from men because I felt like Daisy was ahead of her time, in terms of how open and how willing she was to go into a space and be confident.

Riley Keough shared what it was like for her to receive the Caméra d’or prize for her directorial debut in War Pony at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival.
