Meghan Markle is expected to significantly increase the net worth of the Sussexes through their upcoming projects, which are projected to generate millions of dollars. According to an industry analyst, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's net worth is set to experience a substantial boost as a result of their new ventures with Netflix. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are currently planning the production of two non-fiction programs for the streaming service. One program will delve into the world of Polo, while the other will focus on the realms of cooking and gardening. These projects mark a significant step for Meghan, following the multi-million dollar deal she and Harry secured with Netflix after the release of their documentary series, "Harry and Meghan," in 2018.
Entertainment expert Mark Bourman informed The Daily Express that Meghan and Harry are likely to receive a substantial salary over the next few months due to these new projects. Bourman stated that considering Meghan's star power and the support of Netflix, it is safe to assume that she stands to earn a significant sum from these endeavors. With Netflix's global reach, there is a potential for a substantial return on investment, possibly amounting to millions of dollars for each project.
It has only been a few weeks since Meghan unveiled her latest business endeavor, American Riviera Orchard, which seems to align with the Netflix news. Bourman further noted that these new projects will likely impact discussions regarding the renewal of Meghan and Harry's Netflix deal, potentially leading to another lucrative agreement in the coming year. He expressed that Meghan's hard work over the past few months is starting to yield results, and the positive trajectory is evident. The ongoing partnership between Netflix and Meghan signifies the streaming giant's confidence in their ability to deliver engaging content that captures the attention of viewers worldwide. This could pave the way for a mutually beneficial and potentially lucrative new deal, indicating further success for both parties.
Since their departure from royal life, Meghan and Harry signed a contract with Netflix estimated to be worth between $100 million and $150 million at the time. They have already produced two documentaries, one focusing on Harry's involvement in the Invictus Games and the other exploring their decision to step back from their royal duties. The couple also secured the rights to adapt the New York Times bestselling book, "Meet Me by the Lake."
Observers have drawn comparisons between Meghan's new lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, and her previous blog, The Tig. The brand's initial debut has garnered significant popularity, attracting over half a million followers. Some have noted the regal style showcased on the website and Instagram page, which creates the impression that Meghan is leveraging her royal connections, despite their departure from the royal family in 2020.
Critics have accused Meghan of abandoning her previous ventures, such as The Tig, because she believed that marrying into the royal family would provide her with unwavering deference and boundless wealth. However, according to royal specialist Tom Quinn, Meghan closed The Tig to focus on her new royal responsibilities, as members of the royal family typically do not manage businesses like blogs. Quinn further asserts that Meghan's new brand, American Riviera Orchard, is essentially a rebranding of The Tig.
While Meghan is currently in search of a CEO to lead American Riviera Orchard, Quinn argues that without the advantages of being part of the royal family, Meghan and Harry have had to pursue new ventures to sustain themselves. He suggests that their new lifestyle business exemplifies their efforts to establish a sustainable income outside of their royal connections.
