Elvis Presley was one of the most popular artists of the 20th century. Although Elvis is gone, he certainly isn’t forgotten. He seems like he is just as popular in death as he is in life. In fact, some would say that Elvis is even more popular now than ever before.
Elvis fulfills everyone’s American dream. He acquired fame and wealth. But although he enjoyed extreme fame and fortune, some argue that he was unable to enjoy the fruits of his labors. Many books have been published and stories have been told by Elvis insiders that he tried to enjoy the wealth of him by giving to others.
Elvis couldn’t just buy a new car and take it for a spin on the road. In fact, he tried it a couple of times. However, whenever Elvis was seen on the road, a traffic jam would develop, as a large number of people would want to see him up close.
So Elvis tried to enjoy the fruits of his labor by other means. He bought cars, jewelry, houses, and other expensive items and gave them to others. It is said that once Elvis went to a new car dealer, he bought a new car and asked a stranger if he liked him.
When the stranger nodded yes, Elvis handed him the keys and told them to take them. I think Elvis enjoyed his wealth by sharing it with others. He would give these expensive items as gifts and get a blessing from his reaction.
Most of the time, her reaction was tears of joy and happiness. Elvis not only liked to give gifts to others, but it became a way of life for him. I read a story where Elvis and Priscilla bought one of his employees into a new home. Elvis and Priscilla showed up at Charlie Hodge’s apartment and asked him and his wife to come with them somewhere.
They were taken to a Memphis neighborhood and asked if they liked a particular house. After viewing the house, Elvis and Priscilla took them to the real estate office and proceeded to buy the house for them. The couple was newly married and had a child on the way. A house that was paid off was a great help in giving them control over their finances.
Karma is said to be real. If this is the case, then Elvis Presley had some serious karma. Elvis couldn’t give things away, before more wealth was accumulated for him. It seems that wealth followed Elvis wherever he went.
Perhaps it was his generosity in giving and sharing with others that helped him acquire such great wealth. Can you imagine what it would have been like to be at the new car dealership and Elvis walks in and hands you the keys to a new car?
It is recorded and documented that Elvis did exactly that, more times than can be counted.
