During Probate Court on Friday, July 31, 1981, the attorney handling the case, Attorney Tual, filed a second eighty-five-page report consisted of the most heart-breaking and bungling decision made in music history, “The RCA Buyout.” This was Elvis’s entire catalog from the beginning of his career with his first Sun hits to Thursday, March 1, 1973. The music was sold for a paltry $5.4 million to RCA. After the sale, RCA owned the music outright and would never have to pay Elvis a single dime in royalties for the songs ever again. Of course, Tom Parker got 50%. Elvis got 50%, which was used up in income taxes and to help him pay Priscilla off in the divorce.

Not only was it a bad deal for Elvis, later on, it proved to be a bad deal for Lisa Marie Presley as well. She lost millions of dollars when her father passed away. The demand for Elvis’s music after his death was so high it took weeks to fill the orders, and not one red cent went to the estate.
Desert Storm was the only time publicly where Elvis said anything about the divorce settlement. CLICK HERE TO READ ABOUT THE PRESLEY PROBATE COURT
