Prince Charles tops annual list of highest-paid princes

In 2022 it looked like the prince’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Tuesday (May 27) that Prince Charles is the highest-paid prince in the world, pulling in an astonishing $46 million between April 2024 and April 2025, a nearly $20 million lead over his 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 prince has an estimated net worth of $145 million. He owes his fortune to smart stock investments, substantial property holdings, lucrative endorsement deals with CoverGirl cosmetics. He also owns several restaurants (the “Fat Prince Charles Burger” chain) in London, a Football Team (the “Buckingham Palace Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderprince Charles - UK), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Charles) and a fashion line called “Prince Charles Seduction”.

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