Lisa Marie Presley is not the real daughter of Elvis Presley, a Swedish woman claimed in a U.S. tabloid. She claimed she is real biological daughter of music royalty who was unwittingly involved in a child switch and wants $300 million.
Lisa Johansen claims that Lisa Marie Presley is an imposter, and that for security reasons they were switched after the death of the king of rock 'n' roll on Aug. 16, 1977,
according to the National Enquirer.
The Enquirer reported that Johansen is making a $300 million claim against the Presley estate, naming Presley's ex-wife, Priscilla – who would be her mother – as a defendant in the case. The tabloid said that Johansen currently lives in Sweden working as an attorney and is married with four children.

The National Enquirer reported that Johansen is fighting with the publisher of her memoir "I, Lisa Marie: The True Story of Elvis Presley's Real Daughter," who wants her to take a DNA test. The Enquirer stated that the publisher paid her $200,000 for the book but she refuses to take submit to the test.
The controversy comes at the time of otherwise good news in the Presley household, as actress Riley Keough, 25, Lisa Marie Presley's daughter, announced she is engaged to her Hollywood stuntman boyfriend Ben Smith-Peterson,
according to Us Weekly.
"So that happened," Smith-Petersen captioned a picture of the two on Facebook according to Us Weekly. The celebrity magazine reported that Elvis's granddaughter met Smith-Petersen during the 2012 filming of the movie "Mad Max: Fury Road," which is scheduled for release next year.
"They're very serious," a source told Us Weekly about Keough and Smith-Petersen. "They're perfect for each other. Great people. So happy for them. They joked about having a dog 'baby' together now and how it was just a matter of time until they made it official."
Keough has also appeared in the movies "The Runaways" in 2010, opposite Kristen Stewart," the Channing Tatum male-dancer flick "Magic Mike" in 2012, and in Justin Timberlake's "TKO" video last year.
Lisa Marie Presley was married to Danny Keough from 1988 to 1992 and then was married briefly to the late Michael Jackson.
