Tiger man

That's the way it is. Elvis Presley is simply too much.

Joe Jackson with Lisa Marie Presley and Priscilla Presley

Late singer Michael Jackson’s father, Joe, has sought out the help of Priscilla Presley and her daughter Lisa Marie Presley, Jacko’s ex-wife, to turn Neverland into something like Elvis Presley’s former home Graceland.

Joe Jackson, 79, is keen to turn the ‘Thriller’ singer’s former home into an attraction for fans, and he believes that Neverland could be as successful as Graceland.“Joe secretly set about soliciting advice from ex in-laws Lisa Marie Presley and hard-nosed mom Priscilla Presley on how to turn the ranch into a perpetual money-machine, like Graceland - which has netted the Presleys hundreds of millions!” Contactmusic quoted the National Enquirer magazine as reporting.Joe is said to be amazed at the amount of money Priscilla and her family have made from Graceland.He is keen to buy the Neverland ranch, which Michael moved out of in 2005 following his acquittal of child abuse charges, from the mortgage company currently in charge of it.
