18 Things Owned By Queen Elizabeth II that Will Blow You Mind
As the reigning monarch of the United Kingdom, it’s no surprise that Queen Elizabeth II is one of the richest people in the world.
While most of her wealth comes from the royal family’s assets, she also has her fortune.
She inherited £5 million from her father, King George VI when she became queen in 1952.
She also receives an annual income from the Duchy of Lancaster, around £20 million.
The queen also has a valuable art collection and owns several racehorses. She also spends a large portion of her income on travel and security.
Despite her vast wealth, the queen is known for her frugality. She often re-wears clothes and doesn’t spend extravagantly on personal items.
While she is one of the richest people in the world, the queen’s wealth is a fraction of what it could be.
