I'm not sure if this article is OK in the 2300 Jackson Street thread, but she was Michael's stepdaughter for awhile-so I figure she's family.
I thought the story was funny-that she sold the watch for 5.00, when she could have sold it for thousands and thousands later on after she grew up. She's turned out to be quite beautiful-looks like her mother, and Lisa was a gorgeous replica of Priscilla with Elvis's mouth.

Apparently being related to both Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson isn't quite the "Thriller" you'd expect it to be.
Just ask model and budding film star Riley Keough.
"People always ask, 'How crazy is it that your grandpa was Elvis and your stepdad was Michael Jackson?'" she tells Esquire magazine in its new March issue. "I make them happy and say, 'Yeah, it's soooo crazy!' But actually, I don't think about it, ever."
The 26-year-old beauty seems far more interested in carving out her own legacy instead of just riding on the coattails of her musically royal relatives.
After all, her iconic grandfather died a dozen years before she was born.
“The reality is I know as much about my grandpa as you'd know about a grandpa you never met," she told the magazine.
But that’s not to say she’s ever deliberately tried to escape the spotlight cast by her famous relatives. She just simply wants to provide for herself.
“I always wanted to have my own money — not my family’s money,” she said. “I don’t think any of it had to do with me being Elvis’ granddaughter. None of my drive was ‘I need to get away from my family legacy.’”

Keough, whose mother is the “Hound Dog” singer’s only child Lisa Marie Presley, says she originally started saving up money so she could pay her own way to film school.
The actress recalls working for a local jewelry store when she was younger, and she says she even once added to her funds by selling a gift given to her by her famous stepdad.

</figure>
"I remember this Disney watch that Michael gave me," she said. "I think I sold that for five (dollars)."
Her dreams of attending film school never ended up actually materializing, but that hasn’t stopped her from earning roles in major blockbusters such as “Magic Mike” and “Mad Max” in recent years.
