Princess Charlotte is richer than both her brothers according to new data, with the young royal having an estimated net worth of £3.9 billion. Despite not yet reaching her eighth birthday, the Prince and Princess of Wales’s second born child is not only the wealthiest child in her family but the wealthiest in the world, beating the likes of Blu Ivy Carter and North West, the daughters of Jay-Z and Kanye West .
The incredible wealth comes down to several sources of income and is only set to increase as she grows older and takes on a more prominent role in public life. Prince George , the eldest and heir to the throne is second in the list of wealthy children with prince Louis placing ninth with a paltry £97.9 million net worth.
Much of Princess Charlotte’s net worth owes to the “Kate effect” the phenomenon used to describe her mother’s effortless ability to increase the desirability and often the price of outfits that she wears for the designers. Most fashion pieces that the Princess of Wales is seen in subsequently fly off the shelves, with a photo of Kate in an outfit able to transform the future of designers. Research from Brand Finance cited Kate as “the most powerful royal fashion influencer” and reported that pieces Kate wears increase desirability by 38 percent for American shoppers.
It is believed that Charlotte’s ability to do the same will only increase in the years to come as she steps up the amount of public work she undertakes as a member of the .
