The Richest European Royal Will Definitely Surprise You

Henri Guillaume Europe King Charles III Maria Teresa Stéphanie Luxembourg RTL
Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg, Maria Teresa, Grand Duchess of Luxembourg, Abdullah II of Jordan, Queen Rania of Jordan, Letsie III of Lesotho, 'Masenate Mohato Seeiso, Alois, Hereditary Prince of Liechtenstein, and Sophie, Hereditary Princess of Liechtenstein arrive ahead of the Coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla on May 6, 2023.

The public might imagine that members of the British Royal Family—especially The King—top the charts when it comes to the wealthiest people in the U.K., but the truth is King Charles only made number 258 on the 2024 Sunday Times Rich List. And while he might have moved up the rankings last year—with the British monarch holding an estimated $772 million fortune—it turns out he's far behind when it comes to some of his European counterparts.

In fact, the richest European royal is from a rather unexpected place: Luxembourg. Despite being Europe's seventh-smallest country, its monarch, Grand Duke Henri—who will be abdicating the throne later this year—is reportedly worth roughly $4 billion, per a 2019 Business Insider ranking of 10 royal billionaires.
