Queen Elizabeth II's face is on every note and coin in the United Kingdom, but still little is known about how much money she has personally, how she gets it and who stands to inherit (继承) it.
What we do know from public records is that the Queen receives at least $20 million in annual income through her private estate，and another 100 million dollars from the UK government each year.
The first thing to understand is that the Queen's income comes from both public and private possessions. A large amount of it comes from something called the Sovereign Grant. Here's how that works.
In the 1700s, the monarchy (王室) handed over income from land to the government known as the Crown Estate. Each year the government pays a percentage of the profits made on those possessions back to the monarchy. That annual income is known as the Sovereign Grant. Last year it totaled more than $107 million. And it is used to fund the Queen's official duties and maintain royal residences like Buckingham Palace.
But even if we can't identify her exact worth， the royal finances are looking healthy as the
Queen celebrates her 70th Queen Ceremony. The Sunday Times Rich List estimated the Queen's net worth is $466 million, up $6. 2 million dollars from last year. And while the Duchy of Lancaster saw UK income drop during the pandemic, according to its financial records, the Queen's income has been turning upwards over the past decade.
Anyway, the monarchy is a private family, and they are unlikely to share any details of their wealth with the British public, and that probably won't change anytime soon.
