介绍:
What we do know is that Queen Elizabeth II is the wealthiest member of the royal family. Forbes estimates the queen's personal net worth is around $530 million. So where does the queen's money come from? It's a little complicated, but it can all be traced back to three main sources: her personal wealth and income, the Sovereign Grant and the Privy Purse.
Okay, let's start with personal wealth and income. This includes assets from the queen's investment portfolio and private estates. The queen inherited both from her father and their combined value is estimated to be around $175 million.
Okay, now let's look at the second source of the queen's money: the Sovereign Grant. The Sovereign Grant for 2017 and 2018 is around $100 million. So where does the money in the Sovereign Grant come from? The short answer is UK taxpayers. Okay, let's go back to the queen's third source of income: the Privy Purse. This is a fancy way of referring to the money generated by a very large plot of land, property and assets called the Duchy of Lancaster. The queen receives an annual income of around $25 million from that.
