The richest members of the royal family have been in multiple controversies regarding their wealth and the source of it. According to a recent report, the family has been profiting from the British people and not their own work. As a result, some people are calling for a boycott of King Charles III’s upcoming coronation ceremony.
The family’s assets are valued at $28,000,000,000 and it includes paintings, castles, jewelry, and marketing royalties. According to Forbes, the royal members receive 25% of the profits of The Crown Estate which is the entity in charge of managing their money and possessions.
Even after her death, Queen Elizabeth II is still considered the wealthiest member of the family. Her net worth is around $500,000,0000 because of the investments, jewels, and private castles she had when she was alive.
King Charles III’s net worth is about $30,000,0000. In addition, he is the one in charge of receiving the annual payment from the United Kingdom’s government to pay the butlers, employees, and staff that work for the royalty.
Prince William, who’s next in the line of succession to the British throne, has a net worth of approximately $30,000,0000. However, at least $20,000,000 of that figure was inherited from the late Princess Diana. The remainder comes from the Duchy of Cornwall.
Although the royal family is still beloved by many, there’s a small group of people that continues to grow every day that believe that the royals should use that money to help those in need.
