The 10 Richest Royal Families In Europe

King Philippe of Belgium has held the title of king for far less time than any other royal on this list, being crowned in 2013 after his father’s abdication. He has a US tie, earning his master’s degree in Political Science from Stanford University. Interestingly enough, there are very few recent reports on what the King of Belgium makes. It’s reported that the king is worth about $14 million. The Belgian Civil List covers all the king’s expenses, which in 2013 topped off at nearly $15 million. As for all of the fabulous palaces and castles, those are either owned by the State or the Royal Trust. Royal Trust properties cannot be sold as the trust is financially independent and separate from Belgium’s government. We’re sure the family also enjoys going on the former King Albert’s beautiful yacht, which is worth about $2 million.
