Royal Family’s Net Worth: How Rich Are They?

Yowza! Queen Elizabeth's got the bulk of the BRF's net worth, and rightfully so. This is her 95th year on the planet, after all. While most of her money comes from the ownership of properties (specifically Balmoral in Aberdeenshire and Sandringham in Norfolk), she also gets 15 to 25 per cent of the profits generated from Crown Estate properties such as Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle. In addition, Her Majesty earns a salary from the Duchy of Lancaster, a private and independent income reserved for the Duke of Lancaster, a.k.a. the Queen. And let's not even start on her vast jewelry collection.

It's been a few years since he retired from royal duties, but in his busiest years the Duke of Edinburgh earned an annual salary of $500,000. With more than 70 years of marriage under his belt, the almost-100-year-old has been enjoying a much-deserved break.

The heir to the throne gets the majority of his money from the Duchy of Cornwall, a private estate worth about $1.3 billion that funds the life and activities of whomever is the Prince of Wales and his family. So basically Charles, Camilla, William, Harry, Catherine and Meghan are covered. If, and when, Charles accedes the throne, Will becomes the Duke of Cornwall.

The duchess' modest wealth mainly comes from real estate holdings, as well as a stipend from the Duchy of Cornwall.

Aside from the inheritance he received from the estate of his late mother, Princess Diana, Will received a lump sum of $14 million when he turned 30 and has earned yearly dividends of $450,000 (since age 25) from the Duchy of Cornwall.

While her royal expenses are covered by the Duchy of Cornwall, Kate Middleton came into the BRF with her own money. Well, Middleton money.

Harry earned an annual income of about $53,000 while in the Royal Air Force, which was a drop in the bucket of his estimated net worth. Like his brother, he his expenses are covered by the Duchy of Cornwall, plus he's also got his inheritance from his late mother. It remains to be seen how much his net worth will change given that he's living in California and no longer a working royal.

The former Suits star made a reported $50,000 per episode, so seven seasons plus endorsements, partnerships and sponsorship deals, as well as residuals and she brings much of her own hard-earned money to the royal table. But her net worth is likely higher now, thanks to the good ol' Duchy of Cornwall.

Beatrice isn't considered a working royal, nor is she supported by the Sovereign Grant, a taxpayer-funded pool of money that covers royal salaries. But she's doing just fine, thank you very much. Aside from the her trust funds (set up by her mother, Sarah Ferguson, as well as another from her late great-grandmother, the Queen Mother), Prince Andrew's eldest daughter carved out a career in finance and consulting, and is currently Vice President, Partnerships & Strategy at software company Afiniti.

Like her sister, most of Princess Eugenie's money comes from trust funds but Eugenie has used her art history and English literature degrees to nab a sweet gig: associate director at London art gallery Hauser & Wirth, where she pulls in a reported $145,000 annually.
