The king’s wealth was exposed: horses, Rolls-Royces, jewellery, paintings…
The wealth of King Charles III, who ascended the throne at the age of 73 after the death of Queen Elizabeth II of England in September last year, was revealed in detail by the British press.
According to research carried out by The Guardian newspaper with 12 experts, the value of King Charles’s fortune, full of cars and luxury residences, jewellery, racehorses and art collections, is close to 2,000 million pounds (48,000 million TL).
The royal family has been on the agenda with endless scandals in recent years.
Details of Charles’ assets, which have been kept secret until today, have been revealed for the first time. The Guardian, which conducted a detailed investigation into the king’s wealth for the first time, claimed that Charles added wealth to his fortune with the inheritance left to him after his mother’s death. Noting that the exact size of the fortune is unknown, the newspaper noted that the King is among the richest names in the country with paintings by Monet and Dali, Rolls-Royce and Jaguar cars, priceless jewellery, property and land across England. .
DID NOT PAY INVESTMENT TAX
The report also pointed out that the greatest wealth of the British royal family is being exempt from inheritance tax. King Charles did not pay any taxes to the state on the inheritance left to him after the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth.
Charles waited for the throne for years until his mother’s death.
It was noted that most of the wealth of the royals came from their roles in the monarchy. King is also claimed to have millions of pounds of high-yield shares in various companies.
Aside from Buckingham and Kensington Palaces, which are officially owned by the monarchy, the King has personally owned land from palaces and castles. The family also has a stamp collection worth a fortune.
Earlier estimates of the fortune of Charles, who had been waiting for the throne for years, were well below the figure set by The Guardian.
A spokesman for King Charles, on the other hand, used the phrase “a creative mix of speculation and conjecture” about the figures given by The Guardian. Buckingham Palace, which did not rule on the royal family’s assets, did not break this rule.
