Queen Letizia of Spain net worth: You won’t BELIEVE how much this royal is sitting on

Queen Letizia, 44, was born in Oviedo, Asturias to a middle-class family. 

While she trained as a journalist and worked for the likes of TVE, Letizia’s net worth has shot up considerably since marrying King Felipe VI. 

In 2014, Richest Lifestyle estimated her net worth at $10million (£7.7million). 

Her husband, King Felipe’s net worth is reportedly $20million (£15.5million), according to MSN. 

In an effort to appeal to the general public, the king slashes his own salary by 20 per cent in 2015 to $267,447 (£206,870). 

Queen Elizabeth II’s net worth is believed to far exceed Queen Letizia of Spain’s. 

Her personal fortune remains unknown, but in 2016 Forbes estimated her private wealth came to £415million. 

This estimate includes her private real estate portfolio including Sandringham house, Balmoral Castle, real estate in London and agricultural land across the country. 

Queen Elizabeth II was ranked number 29 on Forbes’ Power Women list in 2016 but her personal wealth is only a fraction of the monarchy’s total fortune. 

As Queen she gets to benefit from assets that are technically owned by the Crown such royal palaces and the crown jewels.

The Crown Estate owns a huge amount of property including Windsor Castle, Buckingham Palace, Clarence House and most of Regents Street.

Some of the richest royals in the world include Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah of Brunei and King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud of Saudi Arabia, according to Richest Lifestyle. 

Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah is reportedly sitting on $20billion (£15.5billion) and King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud is believed to have $18billion (£13.9billion). 

Prince Harry’s girlfriend Meghan Markle has taken Britain by storm as the stunning brunette grows ever-closer to one of the country’s favourite royals. 

Celebrities in their own right, the couple are both worth an eye-watering amount of money – but who’s worth more? 

According to CelebrityNetWorth.com, Meghan’s net worth tops $5m – that’s nearly £4m
