An Estimated 6.6 Billion Acres of Land Worldwide
Owned Since: 1066
Valued At: $88 billion*
Queen Elizabeth II holds a large land share globally, and that share is directly under her personal control. Behind the Queen are billions of acres of King Abdullah. The Queen is the monarch of 32 countries. She is the Commonwealth (of Nations) Chair. The crown estate has a portfolio that returns its profits to the royal treasury. However, Queen Elizabeth gets a 15% profit. If you are not shocked by 6.6 billion acres, that’s one-sixth of the surface of the Earth. Many of these large holdings were purchased during the days of colonization.

Some people collect various things, and some have preferences about what they collect. Faberge eggs are valuable, but the Queen keeps her collection to herself. In 1900, Queen Alexandra and Edward VII began to pick up pieces, ultimately forming a supreme selection of over 600 pieces. The Queen now owns the egg collection and accessories worth $200 million. Various items are often on display, but they are always tightly guarded. Many eggs were given as diplomatic gifts, especially to the King of England.
