The 10 Richest Royal Families In Europe

Queen Beatrix

The Queen of Netherlands has been in power since her mother gave up the throne back in 1980. Her net worth is estimated to be upwards of two hundred million dollars. Recently, she is most well known for bringing a bit of peace between political leaders that had previously grown a large divide in the Netherlands among major parties. The queen makes her money from the export of products from the nation, real estate holdings in her name are the main reasons for her wealth. In addition to these physical assets, she owns a great deal of stock in a highly diversified portfolio which has done very well during the current economic recovery. The Netherlands government also gives the royal family an annual taxpayer-funded stipend of up to 31 million euros for carrying out royal duties. This money is to be split between the queen and her extended family so they can also perform duties on her behalf.
