Prince William's Net Worth Reaches $1.6 Billion, Exceeding King Charles

Prince William has reached a net worth of $1.6 billion, surpassing his father, King Charles III, who has a reported net worth of $846 million. This information was disclosed in the Sovereign Grant's annual accounts, which indicated that William earned $28.5 million between 2025 and 2026 and has paid over $26 million in taxes since becoming the Prince of Wales four years ago. The increase in William's wealth is attributed to his inheritance of the Duchy of Cornwall estate, which has been under royal control since 1337. William plans to sell 20 percent of the Duchy over the next decade to fund local affordable housing and environmental projects in various regions, including Cornwall and Dartmoor. He stated, "There is so much good we can do," emphasizing his commitment to improving the lives of residents in those areas.
