The young royal has an estimated net worth of a whopping £3.9 billion. Despite not even being eight yet, the second child of Kate Middleton and Prince William – who delighted royal fans at Christmas – isn't just the richest kid in her family, but she's also the wealthiest child globally, outdoing Blu Ivy Carter and North West, daughters of Jay-Z and Kanye West .
This staggering wealth comes from various income sources and is expected to grow as she gets older and takes on a more significant public role. Prince George , the eldest and heir to the throne, is second on the list of wealthy children, while Prince Louis ranks ninth with a 'mere' £97.9 million net worth.
A lot of Princess Charlotte's net worth is thanks to the "Kate effect", a term used to describe how Kate's fashion choices can boost the desirability and often the price of outfits she wears. Any fashion piece that Kate is seen in tends to sell out quickly, with a snap of Kate in an outfit having the power to change a designer's future. Brand Finance research named Kate as "the most powerful royal fashion influencer", reporting that items Kate wears increase desirability by 38 percent for American shoppers.
It's thought that Charlotte's ability to do the same will only grow in the coming year.
