    Αυτοί οι άνθρωποι είναι πλουσιότεροι από τη Βασίλισσα Ελισάβετ

    Βασίλισσα


    Η Βασίλισσα Ελισάβετ είναι αναμφισβήτητα πάρα πολύ πλούσια, όμως υπάρχουν και 15 άλλοι αριστοκράτες των οποίων ο πλούτος, η περιουσία και τα υπάρχοντα ξεπερνούν εκείνα της Βασίλισσας της Αγγλίας.

    Σύμφωνα με τη “λίστα πλουσίων” των Sunday Times, η Βασίλισσα είναι ο 16ος πιο πλούσιος άνθρωπος με “τίτλο ευγενείας” στη Βρετανία, δηλαδή ανάμεσα στους αριστοκράτες, ενώ κατέχει μόλις τη 329η θέση στους πλούσιους ολόκληρου του Ηνωμένου Βασιλείου.

    Η περιουσία της εκτιμάται στα 425 εκατομμύρια ευρώ (360 εκατομμύρια αγγλικές στερλίνες). Λαμβάνει το 15% των κερδών από τα ακίνητα της Crown Estate καθώς και ένα επίδομα που προέρχεται από τις φορολογίες, ενώ έχει στην κατοχή της και μια μεγάλη συλλογή από έργα τέχνης, πολύτιμα κοσμήματα και αυτοκίνητα.

    Ωστόσο, υπάρχουν 15 αριστοκράτες που έχουν περισσότερα! Είναι οι εξής:

    15. The Duke of Northumberland (Δούκας)
    437 εκατομμύρια ευρώ

    15. The Duke of Northumberland: Net worth — £370 million ($479.36 million). The Duke (pictured here with his daughter on her wedding day) owes his wealth to inheriting assets such as Alnwick Castle, which has been in the family for more than 700 years. He also has an extensive estates portfolio, including 120,000 acres in Northumberland.

    14. Charlotte Townshend (Σαρλότ Τάουνσεντ)
    502 εκατομμύρια ευρώ
    14. Charlotte Townshend: Net worth —£425 million ($550.5 million). Townshend is the only other person, other than the Queen, that is allowed to own wild swans. Her wealth mainly comes from estate companies and farming. One of the most lucrative estates she owns is 20 acres of land around the affluent Holland Park area in London.

    13. The Duke of Sutherland (Δούκας)
    685 εκατομμύρια ευρώ
    13. The Duke of Sutherland: Net worth — £580 million ($751.39 million). Francis Ronald Egerton is the 7th Duke of Sutherland and most of his wealth comes from his art collection and 12,000 acres in the Scottish Borders and East Anglia.

    12. Duke of Bedford (Δούκας)
    835 εκατομμύρια ευρώ
    12. Duke of Bedford: Net worth — £707 million ($915.81 million). Andrew Ian Henry Russell is the 15th Duke of Bedford and is heir to two family companies as well as house and grounds valued at £150 million. His extensive art collection includes 24 Canalettos, paintings by artist Giovanni Antonio Canal, worth £450 million alone. However, he makes a lot of money off lucrative estates in London, such as 180 buildings in the affluent Bloomsbury.

    11. Lord Rothschild (Λόρδος)
    869 εκατομμύρια ευρώ

    11. Lord Rothschild: Net worth — £735 million ($952.2 million). Rothschild chairs RIT Capital Partners, which he built into a £2.57 billion company, after departing from the family bank. He also retains vast amounts of land surrounding Waddesdon Manor estate in Buckinghamshire before it was given to the National Trust in 1957.

    10. Prince Jonathan and Princess Gesine Doria Pamphilj (Πρίγκιπας-Πριγκίπισσα)
    886 εκατομμύρια ευρώ
    10. Prince Jonathan and Princess Gesine Doria Pamphilj: Net worth — £750 million ($971.7 million). British orphans, Prince Jonathan and Princess Gesine (pictured), were adopted by Royal Navy officer Frank Pogson and London-born Princess Orietta Doria-Pamphilj — from an Italian noble family. Their inheritance accounts for all their wealth as they own a palace in Genoa, an art collection and the Palazzo Doria Pamphilj in Rome.

    9. The Duke of Devonshire (Δούκας)
    1040 εκατομμύρια ευρώ
    9. The Duke of Devonshire: Net worth — £880 million ($1.13 billion). Like most of the aristocrats on this list, the Duke of Devonshire's wealth comes from owning large amounts of land, such as Chatsworth House in Derbyshire and a 30,000-acre Yorkshire estate.

    8. The Earl of Iveagh and the Guinness family (Κόμης)
    1052 εκατομμύρια ευρώ
    8. The Earl of Iveagh and the Guinness family: Net worth — £890 million ($1.153 billion). Ned Guinness, a descendant of Arthur, who invented the drink in 1759, sold the family mansion in Farmleigh, Dublin's Phoenix Park, which he grew up in 1999. But his vast wealth landed on him after he became 4th Earl of Iveagh in 1992 as he inherited £62 million in Guinness shares. He and his family's stake in Diageo, which owns Guinness, is worth £230 million.

    7. Viscount Rothermere and family (Υποκόμης)
    1099 εκατομμύρια ευρώ
    7. Viscount Rothermere and family: Net worth — £930 million ($1.204 billion). Jonathan Harmsworth, the Viscount, took control over the Daily Mail & General Trust in 1998 when his father died.

    6. Robert Miller and Princess Marie-Chantal and family (Ρόμπερτ Μίλλερ & Πριγκίπισσα)
    1.7 δισεκατομμύρια ευρώ
    6. Robert Miller and Princess Marie-Chantal and family: Net worth — £1.58 billion ($2.047 billion). Crown Princess Marie-Chantal is rich because her father Robert Miller made his fortune co-founding the Hong Kong-based Duty Free Shoppers chain in 1960. She then married Pavlos, the son of former King Constantine II of Greece, who was deposed in 1973.

    5. Viscount Portman and family (Υποκόμης)
    2.3 δισεκατομμύρια ευρώ

    3. Lady Charlotte Wellesley (Λαίδη)
    4.4 δισεκατομμύρια ευρώ
    3. Lady Charlotte Wellesley: Net worth — £3.8 billion ($4.99 billion). The 26-year-old's wealth largely derives from being married to Alejandro Santo Domingo in 2016. Domingo is a 40-year-old Colombian-American billionaire and Lady Charlotte is the Duke of Wellington's daughter.

    2. Earl Cadogan (Κόμης)
    7.6 δισεκατομμύρια ευρώ

In 2014, the group bought almost 200 properties. He's been a huge beneficiary of the London property-price boom as the Cadogan Group owns 93 acres in Chelsea — one of the capital's prime locations.

    1. The Duke of Westminster and the Grosvenor family (Δούκας)
    11 δισεκατομμύρια ευρώ
    1. The Duke of Westminster and the Grosvenor family: Net worth — £9.52 billion ($12.33 billion). Hugh Grosevenor became the Seventh Duke of Westminster after his father Gerald Cavendish Grosvenor died in August 2016.
