Kate Middleton tops annual list of highest-paid princesses

In 2022 it looked like the princess’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Thursday (June 12) that Middleton is the highest-paid princess in the world, pulling in an astonishing $75 million between May 2024 and May 2025, a nearly $40 million lead over her closest competition.

People With Money’s factors

In compiling this yearly list, the magazine considers factors such as upfront pay, profit participation, residuals, endorsements and advertising work.

The British princess has an estimated net worth of $215 million. She owes her fortune to smart stock investments, substantial property holdings, lucrative endorsement deals with CoverGirl cosmetics. She also owns several restaurants (the “Fat Middleton Burger” chain) in London, a Football Team (the “Reading Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondermiddleton - UK), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Kate) and a fashion line called “Kate Middleton Seduction”.

The ranking is significant for many Kate fans, who have been waiting for her triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
