The British press did the math in their pockets Harry And Meghan Markle. And he discovered that I am much more “poor” William and Kate Middleton. According to the tabloids, the Sussexes can count on a treasure trove of 48 million pounds. A monstrous figure which however pales in comparison to the wealth of the princes of Wales. William has a net worth of approximately £949 millionthanks to assets such as the Oval cricket ground in London and the Duchy of Cornwall which he inherited when his father Charles became king. The Kate’s net worth, however, is estimated at approximately 7.9 million of pounds. So the couple owns, overall, just under 1 billion and 150 million pounds. The richest of all, in the royal family, still remains King Charles, with a fortune of £1.8 billion. While the Queen Camilla would have a treasure similar to that of Kate Middleton.
The Sussexes are far behind in the Royal Scrooge rankings but have nevertheless demonstrated a great ability to make money in recent years. In 2021 Forbes he had in fact calculated that they had “only” 5 million dollars. Harry could count on at the time 10 million inherited from mother DianaMeghan had contributed to the family budget with 2 million dollars earned when she was an actress. Excluding the money spent to buy the villa in Montecito, California, from 14.7 million dollars – 5 paid immediately, the rest in the form of a mortgage – the Sussexes still had five million dollars left. Which however, if we listen to the new estimates, have risen quickly: within a couple of years the Sussexes would have reached the 48 million. Money accumulated, moreover, exclusively with their own efforts.
Since they said goodbye to the royal family and flew to America, the dukes have in fact had to give up public funding from the royal prerogative (around 680 thousand euros net per year). And to become economically independent they started working. Between documentaries and podcasts (albeit not very successful) and a bomb book (the memoir Spare), it cannot be said that the two did not roll up their sleeves. And they continue to do so: Markle, for example, has just launched a brand on Instagram, American Riviera Orchard, with which it will sell products for the home and body but also jams. Plus they are about to arrive on Netflix – with which the Sussexes signed a contract in 2020 150 million dollars – two new projects signed by Harry and Meghan: she will curate a series on cooking, gardening and lifestylehe will document the behind the scenes of the next one US Open Polo Championship, which will be held in Florida at the end of April. Despite many efforts, to date the (mind-boggling) wealth of the Sussexes is nothing compared to that of the august relatives who have been most attacked via books and TV to date: the princes of Wales.
