In 2022 it looked like the monarch’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Monday (November 4) that Queen Sofía of Spain is the highest-paid monarch in the world, pulling in an astonishing $46 million between October 2023 and October 2024, a nearly $20 million lead over her closest competition.

The Spanish 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 Sofía of Spain Burger” chain) in Madrid, a Football Team (the “Athens Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderqueen Sofía of Spain - Spain), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Sofía) and a fashion line called “Queen Sofía of Spain Seduction”.
