Qatari Royal Family
Estimated net worth: $335 billion Qatar’s Royal family, otherwise known as the House of Thani, has ruled for the last 200 years. The current ruler, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, is actually the youngest sovereign in the world.
The family holds many assets in the United Kingdom such as the Olympic village, Harrods department store, and the Shard skyscraper. Additionally, they have large investments in companies like Volkswagen and Tiffany & Co.
Bahrain Royal Family
Estimated net worth: $4 billion The Royal Family of Bahrain, who is also known as the House of Khalifa, has ruled since the year 1766. The family is very popular and personable, as King Hamad bin Isa was close friends with people like the late Queen Elizabeth and Kim Kardashian.
The House of Khalifa gets a lot of their fortune from a massive oil reserve that they discovered back in 1932. Even though the king himself has a net worth of $4 billion, people speculate that the amount is much higher due to the family's investments.
The King’s personal yacht was custom built in Italy in 1991. The other yacht was given as a gift. Since they have so much money, some people speculate that some of their wealth was even stolen!
This will undoubtedly lead to increased revenue for Qatar and, inevitably, the Qatar Royal Family. But, if it happens to fail, they will have enough money to fall back on due to their massive amount of savings.
British Royal Family
Estimated net worth: $88 billion The overall wealth of the beloved and well-known British Royal Family is calculated by the individual family member’s earnings. For example, the late Queen Elizabeth’s fortune was around $530 million and Meghan Markle’s is at $5 million.
Also, the calculation includes possessions such as art collections, prized jewels, estates, and personal items like clothing, jewelry, and family heirlooms. Another part of their wealth comes from a trust called the Crown Estate which gave the Queen 25 percent of all the revenue gained from tourism, as well as a portion from citizen taxes. Will King Charles inherit all this?
