Presley is in a league of his own, as far as being an “afterlifer”. . Even his image, beyond music, movies, TV commercials, books, or specially tourism in both TN and MS, is bigger than any of that of any single celebrity. Take his BMW 507, restored in Munich since found, in a dire state and in the US, back in 2014, at a huge cost, just so that it can travel with several other BMW this week to Pebble Beach, near Monterey, CA. Fifteen thousand will see it, the price of admission ranging from US$267 to US2,300. But those are peanuts compared with how is image is regarded, for instance, in the world of art. Simply ask Christie’s or Sotheby’s, why Andy Warhol Presley’s Elvis inspired silkscreen images go for many more millions than any other Warhols. There is a reason “Triple Elvis” sold for US$81.9 million after a half hour of frantic bidding, and “Four Marlons”, of identical size, sold five minutes after, going for US$69.5 million, but after ONLY five minutes. Anyways, just counting the last five of his silkscreens sold, all auctioned or sold privaterly THIS century, in both the US and in the UK, Warhol’s Presley images have been bought and sold for an astonishing US$234 million…
