King Charles III’s Net Worth and Income Streams: A Breakdown | WSJ
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.
0:00 One estimate suggests the king’s fortune is around $745 million
0:28 Duchy Originals
0:56 Duchy of Cornwall
1:45 Duchy of Lancaster
2:24 Sovereign Grant and the Crown Estate
3:25 Private assets

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 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.

Charles earned more than 3 million pounds just on the painting that he painted himself

@@userdim 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.

@@martinketchum 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.

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.
Technically owns England, so it should be quite a bit more than that.

A republican country, it has a lot of work, little leisure, low salaries in the majority, high inflation, precarious health and education, many dysfunctional families, many homeless people addicted and with little social assistance, among others.
