A Breakdown of Prince Harry’s Staggering Net Worth
What is Prince Harry's net worth? For starters, the dude can definitely afford the royal nannies, strollers, and clothes that his baby boy Archie needs. He also has enough money that he probably won't miss the funds and clothing allowance that he used to get as a working royal and senior member of the UK's royal family.
In case you missed it, Harry and Meghan Markle just announced that they will be stepping down as senior royals in order to focus on becoming financially independent. They'll also be splitting their time between North America and the UK now, and they mentioned wanting a more relaxed environment for their son.
But how much will the Sussex's son inherit? Let's just say that it's a hefty amount— Harry is still part of the British royal family, after all— and their total fortune was worth an estimated $88 billion as of 2017, according to a report cited in Forbes. The family's assets include real estate, like Buckingham Palace, as well as an extensive art collection and the famous Crown Jewels.
But just how much is Meghan Markle's husband worth on his own? Here's what we know about Prince Harry's net worth.
Prince Harry inherited $10 million after taxes from Princess Diana.
Princess Diana, who died in a 1997 car accident, left trust funds for each of her sons, according to Forbes. When each of them turned 25, Prince William and Prince Harry reportedly started receiving annual dividends of $450,000; they each received their full amount when they hit 30. The brothers also inherited Diana's collection of jewels, according to Money.
Prince Harry inherited money from the Queen Mother, too.
When Queen Elizabeth II's mother, Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, died, she left a reported £14 million to her great-grandsons William and Harry. Harry received the bulk of that money, since William is going to inherit the Duchy of Cornwall whenever their dad, Charles, becomes king, according to Express.
Prince Harry's net worth is an estimated $40 million.
Guess it's easy to save money when the Duchy of Cornwall pays for all your royal-related duties, such as travel and fancy clothes. Money reports: "In 2017, the Duchy reported spending $4.9 million total to cover the official duties of Harry, Meghan, William and Kate, expenses that are paid in part through the Duchy’s annual revenue." Must be nice!
Prince Harry's previous salary from the Army Air Corps Harry used to served as a helicopter pilot in the Army Air Corps, and his salary was between $50,000 and $53,000, according to Forbes. In 2015, he retired after a 10-year career in the military.
And just in case you thought we'd let Harry get away with wearing those shoes with the holes in the bottom, you're wrong. These pairs are all mere pennies when factoring in Prince Harry's net worth (or yours, most likely) so it's time for an upgrade.
We expect Prince Harry to be rocking these to his next formal event – hole-free.
