Kate Middleton Reportedly Has A Secret Fortune, How Much Is She Worth?

She certainly doesn’t have to worry about a shortage of funds when it comes to anything she might need money for as a member of the royal family and status as the eventual queen of England. However, should the need ever arise, Kate Middleton certainly has some money of her own to use.

According to a new report, the Duchess of Cambridge has an impressive net worth of her very own that is fully separated from the royal family’s--and according to Fox News, the amount ranges from between $9-$13 million. However, the large portion of that wealth does not come from the two part-time jobs she held before she married Prince William.

However, according to Fox News, that fortune is mainly courtesy of her parents, Carole and Michael Middleton, and their wildly successful party-planning business, which is now believed to be worth $54 million. In addition, Kates great-grandfather had set up a seven-figure trust or his descendants which helped her parents cover the fees for her schooling, as well as that of her sister, Pippa, and brother, James, and they also own stakes in racehorses and a number of properties in Bucklebury, Berkshire.

Of course, while Kate doesn’t need to use any of the money she or her parents have for expenses, since upkeep, staff, clothing and travel expenses are covered by the royal family, it is interesting that she has such a valuable net worth, which is also more than that of her sister-in-law, Meghan Markle.

Though Markle worked full-time as an actress on “Suits” before she married Prince Harry, her net worth is believed to only be about $7 million.
