The top members of the British royal family are worth more
than $1 billion, with Queen Elizabeth II topping the list at $510 million,
according to a recent report.
That tops soccer star David Beckham's net worth, reported to
be $260 million.
And is more than the value of the reigning soccer champions
of England, Manchester City Football Club,
reportedly worth $443 million.
In honor of the queen's Diamond Jubilee, financial firm
Wealth-X calculated the net worth of the top members of the British royal line
of succession. The figure does not include the Crown Jewels or the Royal
Collection of art.
Prince Charles, the monarch's son and first in line to the
throne, had the second-highest net worth of the family. His worth is estimated
at $210 million, according to Wealth-X.
Prince Andrew, who is Charles' brother and was once married
to Sarah Ferguson, is worth $75 million, according to the study.
Princes William and Harry, sons of Charles and the late
Princess Diana, are worth $19 million and $16 million, respectively.
Business Insider reported that Mykolas D. Rambus, CEO of
Wealth-X, said, "The fact that the combined wealth of the top 14 members
only reached $1 billion reflects what has been suspected for some time: that
new wealth is overtaking old wealth in Britain."
In comparison, Wealth-X calculated the net worth of the
British Cabinet at $108 million, with Prime Minister David Cameron worth $5.87
million, it was reported in the Telegraph.
Wealth-X bases its worth figures on salaries as well as on
declared shares and properties, according to the Telegraph.

senior members of the Royal Family:
The Queen $510

I once read the Dutch Royal Family was the richest with $7.5 billion, including huge swathes of real estate in New York.
