The bills in the pocket of Harry and Meghan Markle (who are much "poorer" than Queen Elizabeth. For now)
How much money do Harry and Meghan have? “Forbes” took care of the accounts in the Sussex's pockets. Declaring that at the moment that their assets are not only not remotely comparable to the boasted fortune of the sovereign, but are also lower - by one and a half million euros - than the amount they managed to spend in just one year as a royal. In the future, however ....
How much money do Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle have? How much do they spend? How much do they earn? The American magazine Forbes took care of the accounts in the Sussex pockets. At a time when everyone is talking about them, for various reasons: they have definitively said goodbye to the royal family; they are about to appear as a couple on TV with a bombshell interview that, according to all royal observers, will make the Crown tremble; Prince Harry candidly told, during an appearance on The Late Late Show, that he moved to California with Meghan, now pregnant with their second child, and with the firstborn Archie, because, due to the British tabloids, remaining in his country , risked going mad.
Saying goodbye to the royal family, the Sussexes have also disengaged themselves from the public funding of the royal prerogative. So they have to work to make themselves economically independent. The financial basis of their new American life already has two (substantial) fixed points: the millionaire agreements with Spotify and with Netflix. At the moment, however, their fortune, Forbes calculates, is light years away from that of Queen Elizabeth: her Majesty's net worth amounts to 500 million euros; Harry and Meghan now have around $ 5 million. A stellar figure, unimaginable for mere mortals. Yet, for the Sussexes, it is equivalent to a million and a half less than the money they spent as royals in 2018 alone, the year they got married. Just to renovate Frogmore cottage, the Windsor residence in which they lived for a handful of months, the Sussexes spent nearly three million euros. To say. British taxpayer money that the prince and his wife returned to the last penny last September.
Here are the accounts of Forbes: Harry inherited 10 million dollars from his mother Diana. Meghan contributed $ 2 million to the family budget she earned when she was an actress. After the money spent to buy the 14.7 million dollar villa in Montecito, California - 5 already paid, the rest in the form of a mortgage - the Sussexes have "only" five million dollars left.
But destined to multiply quickly. Forbes estimates that the podcasts the Sussexes will make with Spotify could grow their fortune up to $ 18 million within three years. But above all there is the $ 150 million five-year contract signed with Netflix for the production of documentaries, docuseries, feature films and children's shows. It is not known if Meghan and Harry, for the two millionaire agreements, have received any kind of advance. One thing, however, seems certain: their future, financially speaking, looks decidedly rosy.
