The properties of Elizabeth II of England are incalculable! And although many are the heritage of the United Kingdom, after more than 60 years as queen, no one differentiates whether they are from the crown or from her personal fortune. Let’s talk about Queen Elizabeth’s fortune and her personal properties and businesses.
How much is the fortune of Queen Elizabeth?
Queen Elizabeth works long hours a day, and her new rule is to cut costs as much as possible. And although it seems absurd that one of the richest women in the world worries about money, it is! (According to the London Times Rich List, the sovereign’s personal fortune ranges from $ 500 million to $ 600 million.)
As sovereign of her country, Elizabeth II owns lands, palaces and treasures accumulated by the ruling families for several centuries.
They say that this national fortune is more than 35,000 million dollars, although it is subject to the “ties” of the Civil List, which in 1760 King George III established to properly manage the wealth of the reign.
For example, Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace (which were the private property of the kings and their heirs) already belong to the nation, although the royal family retains the use of them, which are maintained by the state.
And the crown jewels? And the queen’s personal jewels? And your wonderful works of art? And the other palaces? Could you sell them if you wanted to?
Properties and castles of Queen Elizabeth
Balmoral Castle
Balmoral Castle in Scotland, with forests and farmland, is owned by Elizabeth II, having been bought by Queen Victoria in 1848 and has passed into her hands.
Elizabeth II lives there in great comfort and has even built a private movie theater, as she loves to watch movies.
Sandringham palace
Sandringham, off the Norfolk coast, was purchased by Queen Victoria as a wedding gift to her son Edward VII and his wife Alexandra, and inherited by Elizabeth II! Nobody imagines Queen Elizabeth II as the owner of so many buildings, but she is.
Its 300 properties include apartments, mansions and estates that it rents. The small houses have been donated to retirees or palace staff as gifts “for faithful service.”
Kensington Palace is also his property, as are Lancaster, Pontefract and Tutbury castles. Goathland, the Yorkshire Moors village where Braveheart was filmed, is hers.
And although it has been said that he owns real estate outside of the UK, the royal house has flatly denied it.
What are Queen Elizabeth’s business?
Animal husbandry is his business; a “real dog” puppy sells for more than $ 15,000.
Isabel II has a passion for horses and owns about 30 stallions valued at 10 million dollars; she spends 600 thousand annually on its maintenance.
It also has a collection of classic cars valued at more than $ 15 million, including the 1900 Daimler Phaeton, which was the first real car, and the 1954 Rolls-Royce Phantom IV.
His investments are a very important source of his personal fortune and he is estimated to have $ 150 million in cash, invested in stocks and expertly managed accounts at his Coutts & Co. bank.
Queen Elizabeth Jewels
The “Crown Jewels” belong to the national heritage, but the Queen has a personal collection of tiaras, rings, necklaces and earrings of extraordinary value!
The same goes for his works of art, which include paintings by Vermeer, Rubens and Rembrandt and some unique drawings by Leonardo da Vinci.
