Elvis Presley – Memphis, $940,000

The music industry we know and love today would not have been the same if not for musicians like Elvis Presley. The King of Rock, as he was so rightly dubbed, has undoubtedly helped shape the musical landscape, and throughout his journey of making musical history, he has also acquired a massive fortune and an impressive portfolio of real estate investments. Among those investments that Elvis made is his Memphis home, which is now more popularly known as Graceland.

The home has now been converted into a museum and houses some of the King of Rock’s memorabilia. The musician purchased the 1930s property back in 1957 for an estimated amount of around $102,500, which would translate to about $940,000 in today’s money. The King of Rock must have had such great memories in this house, which would explain why this particular property was chosen to become his own museum. There wouldn’t be a definite price tag on the legendary singer’s house as it contains too much memorabilia and legacy to be sold.
