Breaking News: Meghan Markle vs Kate Middleton Net Worth: Who is Richer?….See More

Discover the net worth difference between Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton, and how their income and royal status impact their wealth.

Meghan Markle’s net worth is estimated to be around $60 million, combined with her husband Prince Harry’s, thanks to her successful acting career and lucrative deals with Netflix and Spotify.
Kate Middleton’s individual net worth is significantly lower, estimated at $10 million, but when combined with her husband Prince William’s, their joint wealth would exceed a billion dollars.
The significant difference in their net worths is largely due to their different sources of income, with Markle earning from her acting career and business ventures, and Middleton’s wealth tied to her royal status and the Sovereign Grant.

When it comes to royal wealth and celebrity fortunes, Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton are two of the most compared figures. Both are married to Princes of the Royal Family of the UK; the difference is that one is a working royal while the other has let go of all royal duties. Apart from being members of the British royal family, their net worth is also significantly different given their backgrounds and sources of income before their marriage.

Hence, it is a question often asked: between the two Royals, who has the bigger fortune: Markle, a former actress, or Middleton, the future Queen Consort?

Meghan Markle, unlike Kate Middleton, was already famous and well-known before she met her now-husband, Prince Harry, thanks to her acting career. She started her acting career with an appearance in General Hospital and then went on to have small roles in several TV shows. It wasn’t until she starred in Suits as Rachel Zane that she achieved significant success.

For her role in Suits, the Duchess of Sussex reportedly made over $50,000 per episode, and her net worth from her acting career is reported to be around $2 million only (via Forbes). Apart from the money she made per episode, it is likely she also gets paid in royalties since the show continues to remain popular among fans.

While she and Prince Harry are not working royals, meaning their lifestyle is no longer supported by the Sovereign Grant, they have pursued other ventures and still make some money from being a Royal, such as from the Duchy of Cornwall. Having signed a reported $100 million deal with Netflix, they have released and will be releasing several more projects for the streaming giant. Moreover

Owners to $14.65 million-worth Santa Barbara home in the US, they also reportedly get paid for public appearances such as rumored $1 million from each speech. She even secured a lucrative deal with Spotify for her Archetypes podcast (via Parade). Before her marriage, Markle was reportedly worth $5 million. But since her marriage to Prince Harry, she has a net worth of $60 million, combined with that of her husband’s (via Celebrity Net Worth).

Unlike Meghan Markle, Kate Middleton was not a famous figure before she started dating Prince William. Although she came from a considerably well-to-do family, her net worth and earnings received a significant boost only after her marriage to Prince William.

Raised in an upper-middle-class household, Middleton attended prestigious schools thanks to her parents’ successful business ventures and a trust fund they received. Her parents launched the company, Party Pieces, where she also worked. Prior to her marriage, she worked for the fashion retailer Jugsaw as a procurer of jewelry.

A working royal, married to the next in line to the royal throne, Middleton’s living as well as travel expenses are paid for by the Sovereign Grant. According to Celebrity Net Worth, the Princess of Wales is reportedly worth $10 million, making her net worth considerably lower than her sister-in-law, Meghan Markle.

However, since Meghan Markle’s individual net worth is difficult to figure out and is often calculated along with her husband’s, Kate Middleton’s net worth, when combined with her husband’s Prince William’s net worth, would be significantly over a billion dollars (via The Times). Once Prince William and Kate Middleton ascend to the Royal Throne, they will be worth way more than any other royal.
