King Charles Wealth Doubles Late Mother Queen Elizabeth

King Charles III's personal fortune has increased by £30 million to an estimated £640 million, making him nearly twice as wealthy as his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II, whose worth was reported at £370 million at her death. This rise places Charles among the UK's 350 wealthiest individuals, ranking between 238th and 258th on various lists, and surpasses the combined wealth of celebrities like David and Victoria Beckham. His wealth stems from inherited private estates such as Sandringham and Balmoral, a successful investment portfolio, and assets from the Duchies of Cornwall and Lancaster, though the Rich List only counts personal assets excluding holdings like the Crown Estate. The increase in his fortune comes amid broader economic changes in the UK, including the abolition of the non-dom tax status, which has led to a notable decline in the number of billionaires on the Rich List. King Charles's wealth now equals that of former Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and his wife, Akshata Murty, highlighting the concentration of wealth among Britain's elite.
