princesses beatrice and eugenie have it
all designer fascinators mysteriously
wealthy husbands and of course that
royal bloodline but did they lose out on
an 88 billion pound payout here's how
they still manage to rake in the big
bucks
the princesses are currently situated a
long long way from the throne at 10th
and 12th place and unlike prince william
kate middleton and other senior royals
beatrice and eugenie don't perform
official engagements on the queen's
behalf so they're not considered to be
working royals but that non-working
status also means they don't earn any
income for their roles within the royal
family and they're also not entitled to
any money from the sovereign grant
according to the royal family's official
site the sovereign grant is the funding
provided to support the official duties
of the queen and maintain the occupied
royal palaces as such they are each free
to pursue regular jobs
according to forbes the royal family is
estimated to be worth a jaw-dropping 88
billion dollars but while beatrice and
eugenie may not get any cash from the
sovereign grant that doesn't mean they
haven't ever reaped the benefits of
being part of the royal family prior to
her death the queen mother put the
majority of her 19 million pound income
into a trust fund for her
great-grandkids according to the
guardian and while princess william and
harry benefited the most all the other
great grandkids still got a sizeable
payout according to the outlet along
with their cousins beatrice and eugenie
would likely land several million each
parents to the princesses prince andrew
and sarah ferguson finalized their
divorce in 1996.
decades later they are amicable but the
split was initially brutal for the
family fergie told modern hero that she
hit what she called rock bottom after
the divorce while the drama was splashed
across the tabloids it also meant the
queen would have to cut some checks i
had to learn to be a princess you know
sounds fantastic but it's terrifying
as part of the divorce settlement queen
elizabeth doled out 3 million pounds
according to the telegraph and part of
that included a 1.4 million pound trust
fund for beatrice and eugenie but royal
insiders claimed that even before that
the girls and fergie had received around
3 million pounds over the course of 14
years with much of it going towards the
princess's schooling
prior to going off to university
beatrice and eugenie were actually
entitled to receive some income from the
sovereign grant but after they graduated
they were no longer living for free
they've managed to create this
very safe and loving family environment
we've all been so lucky to have that
according to the express the queen began
charging rent on the apartment beatrice
and eugenie shared in st james palace
but instead of the girls paying up on
the estimated 20 000 pounds dad prince
andrew footed the bill a spokesman for
buckingham palace told the outlet the
details are private but it is not a
peppercorn rent and is in fact higher
than that paid by the member of staff
who previously occupied it
after beatrice graduated from
goldsmith's university of london with a
degree in history and history of ideas
she dove headfirst into a career in
business she went on to become a senior
vp at the software company affinity
where she manages the brand's
partnerships growth and client
development in 2017 the brand was valued
at 1.6 billion dollars and by february
2020 the company was expanding according
to business wire although affinity
hasn't revealed beatrice's salary pay
scale estimates that those in a similar
position take home around 94 000 pounds
given her senior status we're guessing
her take-home pay is much more
beatrice married eduardo mapelli mozzie
in july 2020 and since then it's likely
that her net worth went up way up as
page six described her hubs in 2019 he's
a 34 year old multi-millionaire real
estate magnate monsieur owns his own
business banned a property with his
profile stating that by the time he
turned 30 he had developed over 400 000
square feet of property in london with a
combined gross development value of
nearly 700 million pounds for those of
us across the pond that's over 890
million dollars so it goes without
saying that this couple could afford a
pretty luxurious wedding ahead of the
big day a palace spokesman told express
that the wedding would not be funded by
the royal family or by british taxpayers
with no further details it's unclear
whether fergie and andrew shelled out
for the open bar or if the couple were
the ones signing the checks
once eugenie graduated from newcastle
university she set her sights on forging
a career in art she works as an
associate art director at the hauser and
worth gallery in london telling harper's
bazaar i've loved art since i was very
little i love being able to share my
passion for art with people just a few
years after signing on with the gallery
yushini was promoted to director a
position with an estimated average
salary of more than 148 thousand dollars
in october 2018 yushani married her
longtime partner jack brooksbank but
while he was obviously marrying into a
very wealthy family not much was known
about his own personal wealth and we
just stared at each other so you saw him
staring at you yeah and i thought what a
silly hat
as the express reported in 2018
brooksbank worked as a brand ambassador
for casa migos yes the same george
clooney founded tequila company in 2017
clooney sold the brand for 1 billion
dollars which means brooksbank could
have seen a decent chunk of change too
the outlet also noted that bricksbank
launched a wine company in 2016 which
hasn't been as successful as he told the
daily mail three years prior i want to
create a chain of pubs it has been my
dream since i was 18. but pub dreams
aside the outlet reported that
brooksbank may soon become the director
of pangaea land and property limited the
business his father ran until his
retirement in june 2021
princess beatrice is certainly not
struggling to make ends meet but her
exact net worth is a little unclear she
reportedly sits somewhere around 1
million dollars but given her marriage
to a legit property tycoon we wouldn't
be surprised if that number was actually
much higher as for princess eugenie e
news reported an increase in her net
worth to 4.7 million dollars now that
she's married but previous estimations
landed her at the exact same amount as
her sister one million dollars
regardless of the actual money in their
bank accounts it's clear that life as
non-working royal princesses is a pretty
sweet deal for beatrice and eugenie
