5 charts that break down the British royal family's wealth
Published in Slideshow World
The British royal family is simultaneously one of the world's most well-known and secretive families. They're one of the few remaining European monarchies to have managed to continue their influence on the U.K. and beyond, even as their territories have gained independence from the British and the country's global power has diminished.
Perhaps part of the allure comes from the fact that the inner workings of the family are kept under tight lock and key. While their opulent lifestyle—shown in castles, clothes, and inheritance—is easy to spot, the family has a vast, deep, and rather opaque network of assets that bolsters its wealth.
At the time of his coronation in May 2023, King Charles III was worth almost 2 billion British pounds (approximately $2.51 billion). After being diagnosed with cancer, the king has taken a step back from public life while other members of his family have taken center stage. So how much is the rest of the royal family worth?
OLBG compiled five charts that break down the British royal family's wealth and how the U.K. views the long-standing monarchy. Using information from The Guardian, YouGov, and public annual financial reports, these charts piece together a fair understanding of what the British monarchy is worth.
