Prince Harry Net Worth

Prince Harry was born in the British royal family and has lived most of his life as a prince. However, Harry has experienced his fair share of good and bad publicity that led to him stepping back from the royal family and all the duties that came with the title. As a result, Prince Harry and his family moved to the US to seek financial independence away from the royal family. As a result, he has entered an uncharted chapter in life and looks pretty excited. 

What is Prince Harry’s Net Worth?

As of May this year, Prince Harry’s net worth is $60 million (£48.7 million), and he has an estimated salary of $100,000 that he is to be earning from the recent venture into a company called BetterUp, a mental health company. 

Prince Harry built his net worth with a big boost from his late mother, Princess Diana of Wales, who left a trust fund for his sons. They were to receive this fund on their 25th birthday, which immensely grew in value by acquiring $20 million each. He also received an inheritance from the passing of his great grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, wife of the late Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.

After stepping back from the royal family and its duties in 2020, the family cut him off. So he set off to get financial stability in the US, where he ventured into businesses with big companies that have accumulated the rest of his wealth over the years.

Who is Prince Harry?

Prince Harry was born on September 15, 1984, in Paddington, London. He is the son of  Prince Charles of Wales, and Princess Diana. He was born Henry Charles Albert David and was a royal family member; thus, he had no last name. He is the last born of Prince Charles, Prince of Wales, and Princess Diana, Princess of Wales, and is the sixth generation in the line of succession to the royal throne. 

His parents separated in 1992 and finalized their divorced in 1996. Prince Harry’s mother was involved in a tragic car accident and died in 1997 when he was 12 years old. He attended prep school at Wetherby School, Ludgrove School, and Eton College in Berkshire. He got into a lot of tabloids as a teenager.

However, he redeemed himself when he enrolled in the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in May 2005. Harry and his troop later deployed to Afghanistan to fight in the war, making him the first in the royal family to serve in a war since his uncle, Prince Andrews. He later attended the Defense Helicopter Flying School, where he joined his brother in learning to fly military helicopters.

Prince Harry got into a relationship with Meghan Markle, an American actress. Harry and Meghan later got engaged in 2017, which his father announced. They got married in May 2018. The newlyweds lived in the Frogmore Cottage at Windsor Castle, refurbished by the Crown Estate at £2.4 million paid from the Sovereign Grant. Their son, Archie Mountbatten-Windsor, was born on May 6, 2019.

The Duke and Duchess later moved to Buckingham Palace, where they lived until they decided to depart from all their royal duties in 2020. The Sussexes moved to Montecito, California, to start a new life. Their daughter, Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor, was born on June 4, 2021.

The Sussexes are endorsed in major company deals, and Harry has even embarked on a mental health career journey that is offsetting their future financial stability.
