King Charles III’s net worth in 2024 is $2.3 billion. This is according to an audit done by The Guardian.

King Charles III was born on Nov. 14, 1948, in London. Although the royal family members were often educated by private tutors, Charles attended Hill House School. He went on to also attend Cheam School and Gordonstoun School.

Afterwards, Charles started his college education at Trinity College. He took up anthropology and archaeology. However, he transferred to University College of Wales for his sophomore year. Charles III last transferred to Cambridge, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts to become the first British heir to complete a university degree.

During his time in college, Charles also received military training by taking flying classes in Cambridge with the institution’s air squadron. In addition to this, Charles also underwent training at Royal Naval College Dartmouth. Afterwards, he also served in the Royal Air Force, HMS Norfolk, HMS Minerva, and HMS Jupiter.

Charles III is named Prince of Wales

After completing university, Charles was named Prince of Wales. As the prince, Charles established the Prince’s Trust in 1976, which is a charity in the United Kingdom that aims to help kids aged 11 to 30 who are struggling in school and at work.

Apart from the Prince’s Trust, later on, Charles also served as one of the active members of the Prince of Wales’ Charitable Foundation, which was founded in 1979.

While serving as the Prince of Wales, Charles also earned reasonable income, as much as $30 million on an annual basis from the real estate trust called The Duchy of Cornwall. Established in 1337, the trust fund is given to the heir. As of this writing, the Duchy of Cornwall has around 133,000 acres of land in the United Kingdom, which has a value of $1.5 billion.

The land is being utilized for economic affairs such as farming and real estate. Given that the Duchy of Cornwall is considered a “crown body” by the United Kingdom government, the income generated by the real estate portfolio is not taxable. Nevertheless, Charles voluntarily paid taxes on it beginning in 1991.

Aside from the Duchy of Cornwall, Charles III also benefits from other real-estate portfolios. Although he doesn’t own portfolios such as The Crown Estate and the Duchy of Lancaster, Charles earns $20 million and $30 million annually respectively from these real estate portfolios.

Charles III is crowned King

Although Charles was already earning big money from real estate portfolios, his net worth of $100 million ultimately soared after he was crowned King of the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth realms. After the passing of Elizabeth II, Charles ascended to the throne as the first in line to inherit the crown.

According to Forbes, Charles III inherited $500 million from Queen Elizabeth in the form of castles, jewelry, art collection, and a horse farm.

In salary alone, Charles III raked in $28.5 million per year, according to Marca. On top of this, Charles will also be managing $46 billion worth of assets. Now King of the United Kingdom, he pulls in EUR 110 million or over $120 million on an annual basis while taking into consideration the real estate portfolios he benefits from, based on reports.

With a whopping annual salary, Charles is now considered to be the highest paid head of state in the world. To put things into perspective, U.S. President Joe Biden pulls in $400,000 annually.

While the passing of Elizabeth II saw many supporters mourn her loss, not many would support her son’s rise to the throne. Although Charles III’s ascension was met with criticism, with citizens opposing his coronation, the newly crowned king’s sister wasn’t one of them.

In an interview with USA Today, Princess Anne claimed, “For my brother, this is something he's been waiting for, and he's probably spent more time thinking about it. For the rest of it, it's more about (that) we have to shift how we support. You know what you're getting because he's been practicing for a bit, and I don't think he'll change.”

King Charles' cancer diagnosis

In February 2024, the UK was stunned when Charles announced that he had been diagnosed with cancer. The royal family has not revealed what type of cancer nor the prognosis other than Charles is “doing well.” Princess Eugenie, Charles' niece, reiterated that he was doing well when she was at a charity event in March 2024.

While Charles was battling cancer, his daughter-in-law, Kate Middleton, also was dealing with cancer. Middleton announced in March 2024 that she had started chemotherapy after doctors found cancer during her abdominal surgery a couple months earlier.
