Early life
Born in London, the United Kingdom, in April 1926, Elizabeth Alexandra Mary was the daughter of Prince Albert, the Duke of York, and Elizabeth, the Duchess of York. Elizabeth served in the Auxiliary Territorial Service during the Second World War.
Elizabeth married Prince Philip of Denmark and Greece in 1947. The couple would bear four children, including Charles, the heir to the throne. Elizabeth's grandfather, George V, was the next in line to inherit the throne until the birth of Elizabeth.
After the passing of her grandfather, her uncle became King Edward VIII. However, Edward would abdicate the throne in 1936, after just 11-months. His decision came after announcing his intention to marry Wallis Simpson, an American.
The crown passed to his younger brother, Albert Frederick Arthur George. Elizabeth became Queen after his passing in February 1952.
How did Queen Elizabeth build her net worth?
Queen Elizabeth II was the longest-serving monarch in British history and one of the longest-serving monarchs around the globe reigning for more than 70 years.
After Elizabeth birthed Charles, she gave birth to three more children, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew, and Prince Edward. She was the grandmother to Prince William and Prince Harry.
While the Queen of England was one of the richest women in the world, she actually didn't have billionaire status. Her fortune only amounted to only $600 million, despite being the caretaker of the Royal Family's vast global assets.
Queen Elizabeth II had a personal title on Balmoral Castle in Scotland and Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, England. She inherited this real estate from her father after his passing. She also had a sizable stock portfolio currently under management and a stamp and art collection.
The Crown Estate is a real estate portfolio not owned by the government or Elizabeth. However, if she did own the Crown Estate, it would have increased her net worth to $25 billion and made her one of the 50 richest people in the world.
