Exactly How Wealthy is Every Member of the Royal Family?

If you're a member of the royal family, you're most likely wealthier than the average person. But, not all members of the royal family are created equal. We did the research on how deep the royal pockets actually go, click through to unveil the mystery...

Queen Elizabeth II

The only two people in Great Britain that have more money than the queen are David and Victoria Beckham. Most of the queen's wealth sits in her properties. She owns a $140 million castle in the Scottish Highlands and a $65 million house in Sandringham. She is also the owner of every single wild swan in the U.K. Altogether, the queen is worth roughly $550 million, but that number very well might be higher. 

Prince Philip

Prince Philip is one of the only 97-year-olds out there that still makes over half a million per year. The prince gets paid just for having his title, despite not becoming the king at any point in his lifetime. Most of the duties that Prince Philip carries out are for the queen's wellbeing and professional life, so basically, Prince Philip is one of the highest-paid consultants that has ever lived. Prince Philip is worth roughly $20 million, but with his wealth combined with his royal wife, he's probably worth a lot more. 

Prince Charles

The Duke of Cornwall, aka. Prince Charles is the current heir to the throne. Although he is estimated to be worth a measly $100 million, his real net worth (in conjunction with his mother's) is mostly wrapped up in assets. If we had to assume, based on his family value and the real estate that they're invested in, he is probably worth roughly $1.3 billion. 

Prince William

Prince William is second in line to the throne. Both he and Prince Harry nabbed a huge chunk of the royal trust on their 30th birthdays, but William received a significantly larger amount than his younger counterpart. Prince William is worth about $40 million cash, but his unseen wealth lays in his investment portfolio. 

Prince Harry

Harry is also worth $40 million, just like his brother. However, unlike William, Harry is much more philanthropic and is less concerned about flipping the cash that he does have for more. Prince Harry used to be a member of the Army Air Corps, and he donated his entire salary to a charity that focuses on housing the homeless in the U.K. 

Kate Middleton

Kate Middleton wasn't part of the royal family before, but when she married Prince William in 2011, her celebrity and financial status both skyrocketed. She didn't exactly come from nothing, but Middleton was extremely frugal prior to being part of the royal family. Because of her savings skills and her marketability, Middleton is worth around $10 million. 

Prince George

Here comes the four-year-old heavy hitter. Prince George is the youngest multi-billionaire in history. Although all of his prospective wealth is tied up in inheritance accounts that he can't touch until he grows up, the fact that he's worth $3.8 billion (possibly more) is purely outrageous. 

Princess Charlotte

Princess Charlotte is fourth in line for the throne, but she's worth roughly $1.5 billion more than her brother (who's in front of her in the pecking order). The reason Princess Charlotte is worth so much money now is that she's the youngest fashion influencer that ever lived. Aside from her inherent wealth, sponsorships and partnerships with brands have already netted her a stupid amount of money. Princess Charlotte is valued at roughly $5 billion. 

Prince Louis

Prince Louis is only a few months old right now, but he's worth roughly $70 million according to the British economy. His wealth is calculated from the estimated $2.5 billion that the royal family generates for the U.K. economy annually. He has already snagged portions of souvenir sales and memorabilia that used his likeness, and he's just going to get wealthier as he gets older. 

Princess Margaret

Princess Margaret lost her life in 2002, but within the time she was alive, she amassed quite a large amount of personal wealth. She was worth $25 million before she died, and she donated the entirety of her life savings to charity instead of willing her cash out to her already wealthy family members. 

Princess Diana

Princess Diana was worth roughly $55 million at the time of her death in 1997. She married into the family, but her independent wealth both before and after she entered the British monarchy was pretty astronomical. All of her assets were left to her two sons, Prince Harry and Prince William. 

Camilla Parker-Bowles

Camila Parker-Bowles married into the royal family after Princess Diana passed away. Prince Charles married Camila in 2005, but before then, she was worth quite a bit of money already. She was working as a receptionist for a major company in the UK, and she had amassed roughly $5 million in personal assets before she became royalty. She is still "worth" $5 million, but that's without combining her assets with her rich husband's.

Sarah Ferguson

Ferguson was the former Dutchess of York, keyword "former." When she left the royal family, a lot of her presumed wealth disappeared. But, that doesn't mean that she isn't wealthy. She lives in a $13 million home in a skiing village north of London (she got the house in the divorce). She is worth roughly $1 million, personally, but that does not count her assets. 

Prince Andrew

Prince Andrew went through a ton of royal drama a few years ago, but he's still extremely wealthy despite being somewhat separated from the familial cash. Prince Andrew is heavily involved in the British military, and he's also a frequent stock market investor. He also owns the London Angels football team, a cologne line, and a personalized vodka brand. Because of these assets, Prince Andrew is roughly worth $85 million. 

Pippa Middleton

Kate Middleton's sister isn't a target member of the royal family, but she is still worth quite a bit. She earned a ton from her family business, and she is pretty well off due to her marriage. Before calculating her physical assets and investments, Pippa Middleton has roughly $1 million in the bank. 

Princess Beatrice

Princess Beatrice is eighth in line for the throne. She's the youngest daughter of the Duke of York, and she got all of her money from a trust fund that her parents set up for her. Beatrice is worth roughly $5 million, and she doesn't have to work, like a lot of the distant royal family has to do. She has been able to successfully funnel cash into her accounts through her personal trust fund her financial advisors, and the alimony she gets from being divorced. 

Princess Eugenie

Eugenie is the younger sister of Princess Beatrice, and she is worth roughly the same amount of cash. Except, Princess Eugenie has two different trust funds that were set up for her with roughly $5 million flowing through each. Eugenie actually funded a London based art gallery, and she uses her cash to help fund both her and her fiance's artistic endeavors. 

Prince Edward

Prince Edward is the Earl of Wessex. He's tenth in line for the throne and is worth a wild $45 million on paper. He is the youngest son of the current queen, but he doesn't really find himself following the royal lifestyle like the others. Prince Edward is obsessed with theater, and he used to work as a production assistant full time, despite being worth more than the company he worked for was valued at. 

Sophie Helen

Sophie Helen is married to Prince Edward. Much like her husband, Sophie Helen didn't care much for the royal lifestyle. She was a publicist before she married into the royal family, but nowadays she works mostly as a charity organizer. Sophie Helen is also valued at about $45 million. 

Meghan Markle

Markle was an actor who came from a poor background before she met and married Prince Harry. She was able to build some of her own personal wealth before getting into the monarchy, much like the other individuals who married in. It's estimated that she is worth $5 million independently, even after she decided to step down as a senior member of the royal family. 

Princess Anne

There was a time when Princess Anne was second in line to take the throne, but right now she sits around #12. She is worth over double what her younger brothers are valued at. Over the course of her life, Princess Anne focused most of her time on charity work. If you had $100 million as she does, you would probably give a lot of it away as well. 

Zara Tindall

Zara Tindall is 17th in line to take the throne. She's the queen's granddaughter, and she managed to piggyback her own personal wealth off of her influencer status of being a member of the royal family. She owns a line of jewelry, perfumes, she has tons of property, and all of her assets together add up to roughly $20 million. 

Hugh Grosvenor

Grosvenor was left his father's fortune after he passed away in 2016. Now Hugh is the 7th Duke of Westminster and is one of the wealthiest people in the world under 30. He owns a real estate company, which has scouted a ton of plots in expensive areas of London. Without his assets, Hugh Grosvenor is worth around $13 million. 

Lady Charlotte Wellesley

Charlotte Wellesley is surrounded by significantly more wealth than what she's valued at, but don't let that fool you. Although she is valued roughly at $4.8 million, she is the wife of a Colombian billionaire financer named Alejandro Santo Domingo. She worked as a photographer's assistant before she gained enough pedigree to never have to work a single day for the rest of her life.

Ladies Amelia, Eliza, and Kitty Spencer

Collectively, The 9th Earl Spencer's daughters are worth $149 million. They are valued together because they have shared their wealth throughout their adult years. While Kitty spends her time working as a model, her sisters all study at a college in South Africa. 

David Armstrong-Jones

Armstrong-Jones is the son of Princess Margaret and Anthony Armstrong-Jones, who is the 1st Earl of Snowden. He is the queen's direct nephew, as well as being the grandson of the King. Armstrong-Jones is a furniture maker by trade, and being royalty came second to him. He is valued at roughly $26 million. 

Prince Richard

Prince Richard is the Duke of Gloucester and the first cousin of Queen Elizabeth II. He was formerly an architect, but when his father died, he took on the position of Duke. He mostly focuses on charity work and distributing his money for the good of the people. He is worth roughly $13 million. 

Princess Alexandra

Princess Alexandra is the cousin to the queen, and she is also Philip's first cousin once removed. She was sixth in line to the throne when she was born, but over time, she's been booted back all the way to 52nd. She is worth $25 million because of the beginning portion of her life in royalty, also because she worked as an ambassador to the queen for much of her life. 

Christopher Portman

Portman was thrust into royalty when his father died in 1999. He is the 10th Viscount Portman, and he was a real estate developer before he took the royal land and fortune. He is worth $2.2 million, but that doesn't include the cost of his estate, nor does it include the property he owns in the US. 

Lady Helen Taylor

Helen Taylor is 42nd in line for the throne, and she's the great-granddaughter of King George V. She works as a fashion ambassador for Giorgio Armani, and she is married to famed art dealer Timothy Taylor. Nobody knows exactly how much Lady Helen Taylor is worth, but we do know that Timothy Taylor pays more than half a million dollars a year to rent his studio. 

Lady Amelia Windsor

Amelia Windsor is 38th in line for the throne. Since she is so far away from the royal family, she never received much financial assistance. Fortunately, she was born with incredible good looks. and she has been able to work full-time as a model for the duration of her adult life. She is worth over $1 million, but nobody is sure of the exact number.

Lord Frederick Windsor

Lord Frederick is the son of Prince Michael of Kent, making him 48th in line for the throne. However, he isn't particularly interested in the royal lifestyle. He works as a financial analyst and he serves as the president of a charity called Soldier On! Windsor is worth roughly $40 million, but that's factoring in his family's cash. Most of his assets are tied up in his charity, which prevents us from knowing his exact net worth. 

Arthur Chatto

The 21-year-old Arthur Chatto is the son of Princess Margret's daughter. He is 26th in line to the throne, and he works as a personal trainer part-time while studying at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. He is worth roughly $10 million, but his lifestyle wouldn't suggest that. 

Prince Michael

Prince Michael of Kent is the cousin of the Queen, but you would never know that based on his financial history. Michael is worth $40 million now, but he spent a large portion of his life struggling financially. He used a bit of the royal wallet to get back on his feet, but now that he is financially stable, he donates a ton of his cash to those in need.

Princess Michael of Kent

Princess Michael of Kent is what she is known as to the public, but her real name is Marie Christine von Reibnitz. Marie's presence hasn't always been favorable in the eyes of the higher-up royalty, but in her old age, she likes to lay low. She is worth $8 million, but that's without counting her assets. 

Prince Edward, Duke of Kent

Not to be confused as Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex, this Edward is the queen's first cousin. He is worth $10 million, but he spent the majority of his life staying away from the royal lifestyle and focusing on being a military man. Nowadays, he runs a charity to help support impoverished families in the UK. 

Katharine, Dutchess of Kent

Katharine is married to Prince Edward, and just like him, she likes to live a private life outside of royalty. She is worth $10 million, just like her husband, and she also has enjoyed an egalitarian lifestyle and she encouraged the other members of the royal family to do so too. She makes very few public appearances, and she plans to keep things that way. 

Birgitte, Duchess of Gloucester

Unlike Prince Edward and Katharine, Birgitte loves the limelight. She married into the British royal family, which increased her personal wealth from $2 million to $13 million, simply because she accepted a wedding ring. She loves collecting jewelry, glasses, cars, and statues. 

Charles Spencer

Charles Spencer is the youngest brother of Princess Diana. He earned the majority of his cash from his inheritance, but he also had a very successful career as a business news correspondent. He is worth $149 million nowadays, and he will never have to work again. 

Louis Spencer

Louis Spencer is the son of Charles Spencer, and he is quite the opposite when it comes to humility and frugality. Once he inherits his father's bank account, he will be worth about $200 million. Although he works part-time as a "businessman" (he sells real estate that he was gifted to different contractors), the majority of his cash is estimated through the family pipeline. 

Lady Rose Gilman

Rose Gilman nee Windsor is the daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester. Gilman stays away from the royalty spotlight, and instead, she focuses on her career as a producer for popular filmmakers. She is worth about $5 million, and some of that came from her work on the Harry Potter films, as well as the Margaret Thatcher biopic that she helped produce. 

Lady Gabriella Windsor

Gabriella is Lord Frederick's sister, and she is also extremely wealthy and successful, just like him. She worked as a journalist, using the royal pipeline to help fund her stories. With the work she has done in the journalism field, as well as the cash that she got by simply being a royal family member, she has amassed roughly $40 million. 

Daniel Chatto

Daniel Chatto is the husband of Sarah Chatto, and he became royalty because of his relationship with generational wealth in the movie business. He was in A Christmas Carol, which helped him fund his career outwards into becoming a father. He is worth about $1 million, but that's just in pocket cash, his assets could be worth significantly more. 

Lady Sarah Chatto 

Lady Sarah Chatto prefers to live a quiet life. All of her wealth ($18 million) came from her relationship with the royal family, despite the fact that she doesn't really interact with them particularly frequently. She stays away from the public eye, but her friendship with Prince Charles and Harry has landed her in some sticky situations with the paparazzi. 

King Harald of Norway

Believe it or not, the King of Norway is in direct relation with the Queen and the rest of the royal family. He has no position to shoot for the U.K. throne, but he enjoys his role as the King of Norway, and his paycheck reflects his happiness. He is worth about $17.3 million, which is absolutely nothing to scoff at.

Vice-Admiral Sir Timothy Lawrence

The Vice-Admiral is the husband of Princess Anne. He served in the royal navy and earned his fortune through that, as well as his work as a politician. After he married Princess Anne, he got knighted and calmed down his political lifestyle considerably. He is worth about $10 million. 

James, Viscount Severn

This 11-year-old has already begun his life of luxurious royalty. He has a key to the royal palace and he has already sat on council with some very important folks. However, it has been confirmed that James will only be an Earl at his highest rank, which is pretty okay for him. That title comes with a $10 million price tag. 

Mike Tindall

This former rugby player turned royalty was one of the wealthiest athletes in the UK for quite some time. However, unlike in the US, these players don't receive astronomical paychecks, Mike Tindall lived on $200,000 a year, which is plenty when you consider how far your dollar can actually go. After he married into the family, his net worth increased to roughly $1-5 million. 

Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are worth so much money, even after turning their backs to the throne, that they were able to give their infant child an approximated $65-90 million net worth. This is not real cash, by the way, this is the amount of money that Archie Mountbatten-Windsor is theoretically worth based on his marketability. Basically, this child is a walking billboard, and he can't even walk yet. 

Autumn Phillips

Autumn Phillips took a big step back from the royal family after she divorced her husband, Peter. She was a model, a bartender, and an actress before she got married. She now works as a management consultant, which has pulled her net worth up to roughly $1-5 million. 

Jack Brooksbank

Jack just married Eugenie, and they live together in their three-bedroom Ivy Cottage in Kensington Palace. Brooksbank was a successful businessman. He ran a famous nightclub, and he is the European Brand Ambassador for the tequila company Casamigos. He is worth around $4.7 million.

Savannah Phillips

The oldest daughter of Peter and Autumn Phillips has a pretty serious bank account already. She's the tallest one in this photo, in the back. Since she was born into royalty, she receives a portion of the merchandise that sells with her name on it. Because of that, she has earned roughly $100,000. 

Mia Grace Tindall

Mia Grace Tindall doesn't have a royal title, but because of her family lineage, she has already been appraised. She is worth roughly $1 million to $500,000 already. Chances are, she'll have a comfortable financial future ahead of her. 

Serena Armstrong-Jones

Sarina is the wife of David Armstrong-Jones. She earned all of her money through publicity sales while working with Armani. She has no displayed net-worth available, but it is assumed that she is worth roughly $10 million. 

Prince Albert II

Prince Albert II of Monaco received most of his fortune from his investment company that owns the Monte Carlo Casino and the Opera de Monte-Carlo in Monaco. He is married to a South African Olympic swimmer, and he also lives in Philadelphia part-time when he isn't acting as Prime Minister of Monaco. He is worth roughly $1 billion. 

Peter Phillips

Peter is outside of the royal family, but he is still quite wealthy and connected. He works as a physical therapist and medicine official for sports teams in the UK. Through that profession, he has earned roughly $20 million. 

King Maha Vajiralongkorn

This 67-year-old is the king of Thailand. He earned all of his wealth through generational inheritance from his father, who died in 2016. He is worth roughly $43 billion, which includes his land, investments, and property. He has been protested against for nearly one year due to the abject poverty and lack of education available to the commonfolk of Thailand. 

Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah

Just behind Queen Elizabeth II, Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah is the world's second longest-running monarch. He is the Prime Minister of Brunei, and his fortune comes from being born into the oil and natural gas import supply chain. He is one of the wealthiest people on Earth, and he is supposedly worth $28 billion, without considering his assets. 

King Salman Abdulaziz bin Saud

King Salman Abdulaziz bin Saud is a member of the Saud family of Saudi Arabia. He is the patriarch of the wealthiest family in the world, with a combined personal wealth nearly totaling $1 trillion. He got his money from the oil trade out of Saudi Arabia, and he owns some of the world's most expensive houses, cars, yachts, helicopters, private jets, paintings, sculptures, and pets. 

Emir Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan

Emir Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan is the president of the Unite Arab Emirates. He got his wealth from being the chairman of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority. This authority basically determines the price of oil for the entire world, which allows people like Emir Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan to basically tailor how much money they want to make any given day. He is worth roughly $18 billion, but his assets are worth around $.5 trillion. 

Emir Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan

Emir Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan is the Vice President of the United Arab Emirates. He resides in Dubai, and he was one of the sole reasons why Dubai is a haven for the wealthy and powerful. He is worth roughly $14 billion. 

Grand Duke Henri

Grand Duke Henri is the Duke of Luxembourg. He is worth a whopping $4 billion for simply being a member of the royal family. He carries out basic political actions, but he gets paid nearly 900,000x more than the standard secretary does to do the same work. 

Prince Hans Adam II

Prince Hans Adam II is the Prince of Liechtenstein and the owner of Liechtenstein Global Trust. This is the largest privately-owned wealth firm in Europe. He uses his monet to shelter other wealthy people's money to prevent it from being either taxable or detectable. He is worth roughly $3.5 billion, but that number is likely much higher. 

Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani

Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani's wealth comes from the fact that he is the founder of the Qatar Investment Authority. His company monitors the world's excess oil and gas reserves. He is worth roughly $2.1 billion, personally. 

King Mohammed VI

Mohammed VI is a businessman and banker first, king of Morocco second. His family owns a majority stake in an investment company that manages businesses like banking, mining, real estate, tourism, insurance, communication, and many more outlets for investment. He is worth roughly $2.1 billion but his daily operating budget is closer to $1 million, so that number is most likely much higher.
