Royal Family member who is rarely seen worth more than Kate, Edward and Anne combined
The late Queen Elizabeth II’s first cousin, Prince Michael of Kent, has accrued an estimated net worth of £32million, according to Yahoo Finance, despite being a non-working royal and staying relatively under-the-radar in the UK.
Prince Michael of Kent was born on July 4, 1942, to Prince George and Princess Marina of Greece and Denmark. Although he was seventh in line to the throne when he was born, he is now 52nd in line to the throne.
Like many other members of the Royal Family, the Prince is involved in around 100 charities and organisations and on average he undertakes about 200 public working engagements for the charity sector, funded by his own household.
These vary from his interest in transport, to his passion for Russia, including when he led a rally of Bentleys from Brooklands Museum in the UK to Moscow, raising more than £25K for the Children’s Fire and Burns Trust.
Prince Michael’s staggering net worth is more than Princess Anne, Princess Kate and Prince Edward combined, who are each worth a respective £8million.
Educated at Eton, Prince Michael proved something of a linguist, and in addition to being fluent in French he had a “working knowledge” of German and Italian.
He also became the first member of the Royal Family to learn Russian, of which he is a qualified interpreter. After Eton, he went to Sandhurst, before serving in the military for 20 years.
