The British royal family has power, prestige, and tons and tons of money (pounds and pounds and pounds, you could say, since we’re dealing with British currency here). Contrary to popular belief, the Royals aren’t fully funded by taxpayers. They’re independently wealthy with inheritances, crowd estates, and allowances. Alone, the crown jewels have an estimated worth between £3 and £5 billion ($4 – $6.6 billion). Their combined wealth is thought to be around $88 billion.
