The Most Expensive Things Owned By The Queen Elizabeth II
The British Seabed

Just as Queen Elizabeth II owns a good portion of the United Kingdom’s coastline, she owns the British Seabed as well. When the Norman Conquest first created the territory. The Queen owns the seabed, which means she owns all of the mining rights. $60 billion of oil would certainly be worth exploring below the seabed.
