Queen Silvia of Sweden tops annual list of highest-paid monarchs

In 2022 it looked like the monarch’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Sunday (December 22) that Queen Silvia of Sweden is the highest-paid monarch in the world, pulling in an astonishing $46 million between November 2023 and November 2024, a nearly $20 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 Swedish monarch has an estimated net worth of $145 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 Queen Silvia of Sweden Burger” chain) in Stockholm, a Football Team (the “Heidelberg Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderqueen Silvia of Sweden - Sweden), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Silvia) and a fashion line called “Queen Silvia of Sweden Seduction”.

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