The 10 Richest Royal Families In Europe

Queen Margrethe II is the Queen of Denmark and is well-loved by both the people of her country and those who follow royal families. She’s known to be an intelligent, hands-on queen that genuinely cares about the people of her country. Some would argue that her salary is reflective of that. The Danish Civil List pays the royal family about a million dollars a month or about $12.7 million dollars a year. The money is split between family members; for example, the queen’s sister gets 1.5% per month. The money mainly covers the costs incurred with running all royal operations and the Queen’s activities. To add to her wealth, the entire royal art collection belongs to the Queen’s personal collection, even if they are on public display. Another fun fact: while a number of the Royal Family’s palaces are property of the state, some of the palaces are the Royal Family’s personal property.
