King Charles III’s personal wealth is a closely-held secret, much like his mother before him, Queen Elizabeth II. A successful business owner, the monarch also holds several private assets and private estates, including the Duchy of Lancaster.
WSJ breaks down what is known about the monarch’s assets, his income streams and what he inherited from his mother, who died last year at 96.

For those saying that the current PM Sunak is richer than the King, Sunak & his wife's wealth is mostly on paper, whereas The Royal Family controls actual physical assets and resources of value - palaces, castles, land and estates...

@akk424 Жыл бұрын

What kind of logic is this? If Rishi and and his wife sells those shares and the king sells all his properties Rishi would still be worth more than him

@hirenmehta9371 Жыл бұрын

@@akk424 No, because the moment you offload a lot of shares, the price crashes. They will never realize the current market value of all their share holdings in cash. But if I own land and estates that have actual utility, from which we derive other resources, then I possess greater leverage over someone that merely has a stake in a software company, unless that person is a multi-multi-billionaire. In Sunak & his wife's case, they are about $800-$900 million USD/GBP, which is not a whole lot higher than what the King is worth. $750 m worth of land and resources > $750 m worth of shares in a software company.

Many whine in the comments that, of course, he has an entrepreneurial spirit because he was born with money, what kind of nonsense people with billions of money squander the main head and a smart person and not a lot of money he has increased his cornual income by 25% in his 25 years, and what are you could ? first try to open a business and then say that only a day is needed there. there is a saying a stupid person thinks that rich people born with a golden spoon can open any business and everything will work out, but when this rich man opens and he has no brain and he is stupid, then the business goes bankrupt. Charles earned more than 3 million pounds just on the painting that he painted himself

@@DANSHHD I'm not taking away his credit as an entrepreneur. But most are too concerned with getting their next meal than having enough free time, as a result of being essentially financed to exist as a nice idea, to dedicate their time to developing their entrepreneurial spirit. It's far easier to excel at something when the looming threat of losing everything you have as a result of pursuing it is non-existent because you are cushioned by an immense amount of inherited wealth.

The most lucrative position in the British Monarchy, including that of Monarch, is the Prince of Wales. The Duchy has vast prime real estate with huge rental potential. The King has held that position for nearly seventy years. Having said that His Majesty's period as head of the Duchy has been exemplary. Through prudent management and investment, he has expanded the asset base many fold and in doing so assisted a huge number of worthwhile causes.

@@mkmkoto actually I don’t know if u saw John Oliver’s show on the monarchy but he explains it pretty well. Essentially people don’t pay tickets (which gives revenue) to see people but to see jewelry or palaces etc which only require upkeep. There is no need for a monarchy to exist to continue to make money of those things. For example, there is french architecture and food that people like to see in New Orleans but for that US doesn’t ask France to put people there and give millions for their luxury living.

@@TheAb9211 Yeah, it's not the people, but accurately the brand of the British monarchy being something astounding unique and influential for both business and diplomacy, thus why abolishing them would be immense loss in the abstract valuation, also Crown Estates are owned privately as part of the monarch institution, thus the country would lose any kind of control on those assets and properties.

I agree, only Princess Anna is engaged in 200 hundred visits, her day is loaded for a month in advance, and these people who come screaming didn’t even donate a penny to charity, and you know why, because they feel sorry for 1 pound for the royal family per person, we conclude if they feel sorry for it and it’s a pity to spend for children who are in the children's home, etc. The royal family annually invests sums in people with the same security that protects them, these are jobs, that is, they want this security to be gone and people left without work and went to guard Starbucks? I am 18 years old and I fully support our king and monarchy like my friends so forget about your republic and go to work GOD SAVE THE KING
