The members of the royal family are truly in a class all their own, and few public figures live life as lavishly or extravagantly as them. In 2017, Forbes estimated that the British fam is worth $88 billion in total, and each member touts an impressive net worth of their own. While none of the royal family is hurting financially, there’s one member who is far richer than the rest.

According to Business Insider, Prince William and Prince Harry are both multi-millionaires. Harry is worth an estimated $25 million, while his older bother is worth a reported $40 million.

As heir to the throne, Prince Charles is another one of the wealthiest royals in existence. According to Wealth-X, the prince is worth approximately $400 million. No big deal!

But the richest of all? That title goes to none other than Queen Elizabeth. According to Wealth-X, Her Majesty is worth about $520 million. With more than half a billion dollars to her name, one might wonder where all that money comes from. Most of it is attributed to her ownership of Balmoral Castle, which is worth a whopping $140 million.

Meanwhile, the Queen’s hubby Prince Philip is worth a reported $30 million.

As for the future wealthiest royal, that very well could be Prince Harry and Meghan Markle‘s son, Archie. According to Good Housekeeping, when Archie was born, it was predicated he’d bring $1.47 billion to the U.K. economy. Of course, these days, Archie is living in Los Angeles with his parents, but he’s gotten more attention in the news than any other royal in recent years, and is surely going to live a life of abundance.
