What's a Royal Worth?

It's probably one of the most inquiring questions that the British government has been asked, and no doubt they are asked often.  What is the worth of a Royal?  Well according to reports the British Royal family is worth more than.....well perhaps most of the original paintings hanging in the Louvre.  $1 billion worth of those paintings to be exact.

When the total value of each individual is broken down Prince Charles is worth $221 million, Prince Andrew $75 million, Princes William and his brother Harry and Charles' late wife Diana are estimated to be worth $19 million and $16 million each.

According to the report completed by CEO of Wealth-X, Mykolas D. Rambus, "the fact that the combined wealth of the top 14 members only reached $1 billion reflects what has been suspected for some time: that new wealth is overtaking old wealth in Britain."
