Gems, stamps, geese… This is how Elizabeth II’s inheritance was divided
Sabel II is not only the queen of England, but also one of the richest people in the world by her personal fortune. Since his death was announced last Thursday, September 8, at Balmoral Castle in Scotland, it has been known who will inherit the crown and, therefore, all assets associated with it, which belong to the institution. However, little is known so far about how his personal assets will be distributed.
According to the Sunday Times list for 2022, Elizabeth II’s personal assets total 370 million pounds (about 426 million euros). This is an approximate figure, as the queen is under no obligation to disclose her personal finances, so it is necessary to distinguish between Elizabeth II’s personal possessions and rights, which are part of her inheritance, and those of the crown, which are passing. directly to his successor, King Carlos III.
The new king will inherit the Crown Estate, a real estate business in which he will receive 15% of the profits because it belongs to the crown, even though it is managed independently. This includes properties such as London’s Regent Street shopping street or the Ascot racetrack, as well as farms, forests or coastlines.
It would also receive the Duchy of Lancaster, which includes some of the properties that the British royal family has acquired over more than 700 years. This includes 18,000 acres of nine castle lands and real estate.
