The Surprising Net Worth Of Each Royal Family Member

Contrary to popular belief, the Royals aren’t funded by taxpayers. They’re independently wealthy with inheritances, crowd estates, and allowances. Alone, the crown jewels have an estimated worth between £3 and £5 billion ($4 – $6.6 billion). Take a look at what they are all worth.

Queen Elizabeth II ($550 Million)

The only people in Britain whose wealth rivals the Queen’s are none other than two of Britain’s finest exports; Victoria and David Beckham. Most of the Queen’s wealth derives from her many properties. She’s got a $140 million castle in the Scottish Highlands and the $65 million Sandringham House. Surprisingly, the Queen is the owner of every single wild swan in the country. She is also an avid stamp collector, owning one of the largest and most valuable collections in the world. On top of her over $10 billion in properties and art collection, Queen Elizabeth II gets a $12.9 million government stipend for her role as the monarch.

Prince Philip ($20 Million)

Prince Philip is one of the few 97-year-olds who is still managing to rake in the millions. The Prince gets paid just for his title, he earns an impressive $442,000 a year for his royal standing. Most of his wealth is supposedly made in exchange for his many duties that he performs in support of the Queen.

Prince Charles ($100 Million)

The Duke of Cornwall, and the current heir to the throne has a gargantuan net worth. Though Prince Charles may have an estimated $100 million in liquid holdings, his assets are said to be worth around $1.3 billion. As the sole beneficiary to his mum’s real estate portfolio, the Prince stands to earn a whole lot more in the future.

Prince William ($40 Million)

Second in line to the throne, Prince William has a bank account to match his good fortune. On his thirtieth birthday, he reportedly received a £13m in trust and estate from his late mother Princess Diana. William also raked in $450,000 per annum in investment profits by the time he was 21 and receives a hefty allowance from his loving dad that’s rumored to be worth about $4.6 million. Though Prince William was a licensed pilot for East Anglian Air Ambulance, he magnanimously donated his $62,000 per year salary to charitable organizations.
