The Incredible Net Worths Of The World’s Royals

Royal families around the world have captivated us normal folk with their lavish lifestyles, which tend to include gorgeous palaces, sparkling jewels, and more than one person to wait on their every need. But not every royal is created equal, with some having a net worth far greater than others.

While King Felipe VI of Spain has a solid net worth of $20 million, and Queen Elizabeth II has $550 million, they both look "broke" compared to King Mohammed VI of Morocco's $2.1 billion. Keep scrolling and take a look inside the wealth of some of the royals around the globe.

Queen Elizabeth II ($550 Million)

The only people in Britain whose wealth rivals the late Queen's net worth are Victoria and David Beckham. Leave it to a Spice Girl and a football star, two of Britain's finest exports. Most of the Queen's monstrous worth comes from her properties. She had a $140 million castle in the Scottish Highlands and a $65 million Sandringham House. She also had a few unique collections. The Queen was the owner of every single wild swan in the U.K., and she' was the owner of the largest stamp collection in the world.

On top of her over $10 billion real estate holdings and royal art collection, Queen Elizabeth II got a $12.9 million government stipend for her role (which includes a small amount of taxpayer money).

Prince Philip ($30 Million)

There aren't too many 99-year-olds who are raking in nearly half a million a year, but the late Prince Philip was one of the lucky few who managed to do so.

Prince Philip got paid just for his title, which, shockingly, wasn't King. The Duke of Edinburgh never took the title of King because of strict regulations, but he still received a massive $442,000 a year for his royal title. Most of that was for the public duties he carried out in support of the Queen. We know the Queen was a total boss lady, but it certainly didn't hurt to have a faithful and loving husband by her side all those years.

Prince William ($1.3 Billion)

ADVERTISEMENT

Prince William is second in line to the throne and as a result, has a pretty big net worth. Both he and his brother Prince Harry collected a huge chunk of their worth through an inheritance they received on their 30th birthdays. It included £13m in trust and estate from their mother Princess Diana, who tragically passed away in a car accident years before.

William also pulled in $450,000 per year in investment profits by the time he was 21 and receives an allowance from his father that's rumored to be around $4.6 million. Though Prince William was a helicopter pilot for East Anglian Air Ambulance, he donates his $62,000 salary to charity. In 2022, William was also given an estate worth $1 billion from his father, King Charles.

Prince Harry ($60 Million)

Prince Harry is sixth in line to the throne. Yes, he's beat out by his own children. In any event, he's still as rich as his brother who is the current second heir. Prince Harry is so rich that he donated his estimated $45,000 salary from the Army Air Corps to charity.

Like his brother, Harry gained access to a £13m inheritance when he turned 30. He also received $450,000 a year in investments around age 21 and a rumored $4.6 million allowance from his father, the Duke of Cornwall and current heir to the throne.

Kate Middleton ($10 Million)

ADVERTISEMENT

Kate Middleton, the Princess of Cambridge, has a rags-to-riches story of sorts. She wasn't always a royal, but after her wedding to Prince William in 2011, she sealed the deal. Despite being a commoner, Middleton's family was very wealthy. They had a net worth of $50 million, largely thanks to Party Pieces, a wildly successful online party supply business.

Middleton is also a notorious saver. She doesn't really spend her family's cash. Her wardrobe expenses are paid for by Prince Charles, and most of her travel costs are funded by the countries she visits. If you're looking at her national worth, it's a whole lot more than $10 million because she drives UK clothing sales and tourism.

King Felipe VI Of Spain ($2.8 Million)

ADVERTISEMENT

King Felipe VI ascended the throne of Spain in June of 2014. Since then, his majesty has actually cut his personal salary 20 percent, leaving him with an annual income of $267,447. Since the King's current net worth is $2.8 million, it doesn't look like he's struggling too much with the cut.

Even so, King Felipe and his family enjoy the luxuries of being one of the wealthiest royals in the world. According to Business Insider, they have five royal county residences as well as eight royal palaces at their disposal.

Meghan Markle ($60 Million)

Meghan Markle used to do freelance calligraphy between acting auditions in order to make ends meet. Despite the fact that numerous members of her family have filed for bankruptcy over the years (including her own father), the actress was independently wealthy before she ever became a royal.

It's estimated that she earned around $50,000 per episode of Suits and was thought to have brought in around half a million a year from acting and sponsorships.Markle has a net worth of around $60 million, which increased when she tied the knot to Prince Harry.

Prince George ($3.6 Billion)

ADVERTISEMENT

Prince George may be just seven years old, but he's probably richer than you'll ever be (unless you're a billionaire, in which case, kudos). As third in line to the throne, he's a pretty big deal even though he doesn't realize it yet. Almost all of his money is in an inheritance, which he can't touch until he's a little bit older.

Prince George will never have to work a day in his life, unless you count royal duties (there will surely be more than a few cups of tea had, but they'll likely be poured by someone else). His net worth was also calculated based on his value to the British economy. He's got the potential to drive billions in sales to the UK.

Princess Charlotte ($4 Billion)

ADVERTISEMENT

Princess Charlotte is fourth in line for the throne, right behind her older brother Prince George. Yet, she's estimated to be worth over her older brother. Why? Charlotte is a fashion icon in the making. She has what's known as the "Charlotte effect" (when everything she wears sells out within 24 hours). This was first tested with a pastel yellow cardigan from a popular British department store. Just 24 hours after pictures of the tot in her sweater surfaced, the store had sold out.

Charlotte's net worth was also calculated through a mix of her inheritance and her value to the UK economy. If her outfit choices sell out like her mom's do, she's worth quite a bit more than Prince George. Sorry, but boys' clothes just aren't as interesting.

Queen Margrethe II Of Denmark ($40 Million)

Queen Margrethe II of Denmark has been on the throne since 1972 and has lived a very cushy lifestyle. The Queen's net worth is around $40 million, with The Danish Civil List granting the monarchy an annual allowance of $12.8 million.

Prince Louis ($400 Million)

ADVERTISEMENT

Prince Louis is only a couple of years old, but the royal child added an estimated $400 million of worth to the British economy. How could this be? Well, the royal family is thought to generate $2.5 billion every year for the UK's economy. The new baby's worth comes from souvenir sales and memorabilia (he's a pretty big deal as the fifth heir to the throne). If he's anything like his sister Princess Charlotte, everything from his clothes to the toys he plays with will push retail sales.

Prince Louis will probably bring in less for the British economy than his sister (who's estimated to pull in £100 million a year thanks to her sartorial savvy) and his brother Prince George, who pulls in an estimated £75 million a year. Just wait until he gets a little older.

Princess Diana ($55 Million)

ADVERTISEMENT

Diana, the Princess of Wales, tragically passed away in August 1997 leaving behind her two young boys Prince Harry and Prince William. At the time of her death, the Princess of Wales was very wealthy. She had an estimated $55 million net worth which was a combination of family money and marrying into the royal family (obviously, that's pretty lucrative).

Her independent wealth soared after divorcing from Charles, Prince of Wales, and reportedly received a $22.8 million lump sum along with an allowance for her private office. After her death, her estate was split and put into to two separate trusts for her sons. They received this money when they were around 30 years old.

Camilla Parker-Bowles ($500-$600 Million)

ADVERTISEMENT

Camilla Parker-Bowles married into the royal family years after Diana's passing. She wed King Charles in April 2005, but was always well off. Her father was the Vice Lord Lieutenant of East Sussex, and she grew up on a $2 million estate in Sussex. She regularly socialized with the royals in her youth and met her future hubby in 1972. He later went on to marry Princess Diana, but the pair reconnected after Di's tragic passing.

Sarah Ferguson ($1 Million)

Sarah Ferguson, the former Duchess of York, only has a $1 million net worth, but that doesn't mean she's struggling. She currently lives in a £13 million home in an upper-crust skiing village (she can thank the Duke of York for their massive chalet, which she got in the divorce).

Fergie is one of the few scorned royals who originally wasn't even invited to Prince Harry and Megan Markle's wedding (she was outright banned from William and Kate's). Selling secrets to the press will do that. Aside from being a royal gossip, Fergie has held numerous jobs since her divorce including decades-long endorsements with Weight Watchers and Avon. She's currently a public speaker, TV personality, and film producer.

Queen Beatrix Of The Netherlands ($200 Million)

Although she abdicated the throne in 2013 after 33 years of service, Queen Beatrix is still considered to be one of the most famous figures when it comes to the Dutch royal family. Even so, passing on the title of Queen didn't exactly leave her hurting in terms of cash flow.

Prince Albert II Of Monaco ($1 Billion)

Prince Albert II is the reigning Prince of Monaco and the head of the house of Grimaldi. To give some perspective, Monaco is about half the size of New York's Central Park, and Prince Albert owns a quarter of it. But we doubt the Prince is picky about the size of his country, considering he has a net worth of a billion dollars.

King Charles is currently on the throne, which is why he's got a gargantuan net worth. No other royal besides his mum has him beat.
