She also has a $17 million chalet in the Swiss Alps, so she won’t actually ever be in financial turmoil.
18. Katharine, Duchess of Kent – $10 Million

15. Pippa Middleton – $1 Million

Instead, her wealth comes from her mother’s business in which she plays a minor yet high-paid role.
14. Princess Eugenie of York – $10 Million

12. King Harald of Norway – $17.3 Million
pinterest.comIt might seem odd to many of you to see King Harald of Norway, a sovereign nation free of the Kingdom’s control. However, the King of Norway has direct blood-relations to Queen Elizabeth and other members of the Royal family. It’s impossible for him to take the UK throne, but seeing that he’s a King already, he’s probably far too busy with his own country’s affairs. When he retires, he can enjoy the rest of his days anywhere on the planet with the $17 million he has in his back pocket.
