How Much was Queen Elizabeth II Worth?

Queen Elizabeth II’s net worth gets rather complicated because a lot of the things we assume she owned, were actually not hers at all and are owned by the Royal Firm.

Her late Majesty had $500 million in shares that were her own. This large net worth came from many items that she had acquired over her 70 years on the throne, including her large art collection, her real estate – such as Balmoral Castle and Sandringham House. As well as a large jewelry collection and a very elaborate stamp collection that was valued at £100 million.

As well as what she had herself amassed in her life, the Queen Mother also left Elizabeth her own estate when she passed, which was valued at £70 million.

The Crown, though the Firm – which is also known as Monarchy PLC, owns almost $28 billion in assets.

It’s assets include The Crown Estate which is worth $19.5 billion, Buckingham Palace is worth around $4.9 billion, Kensington Palace is worth an estimated $620 million, the Crown Estate Scotland has $592 million and so on and so on.

Some of this belongs to the Royals, while some of this belongs to the British Treasury.

The Crown Estate technically does belong to the reigning monarch, so in this instance – Queen Elizabeth II, for the period of time that they are on the throne, however it isn’t their own private property. The Crown Estate also does not belong to the government. It is in fact owned by an outside board.

In 2020, the Crown Estate made £475 million in profit and the royals received 25 percent of this. The remaining 75 per cent went to the British Treasury.
