1. What is Prince Harry’s Net Worth?

Before he left London, the Duke of Sussex was worth somewhere between $25 and $40 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth . A large portion of his income comes from several dealings like Netflix, and the Duchy of Cornwall inheritance that both he and William received. As of 2024, it's estimated that he and his wife, Meghan Markle, have a combined net worth of $60 million.
2. How Much Money Did Prince Harry Inherit?
In the ’90s, Queen Elizabeth (aka the Queen Mother) set up a trust fund for her great-grandchildren. At age 21, Prince William and Prince Harry split the first half of their portion, which totaled around £6 million (about $7.8 million). The Guardian reports that Harry took the majority of the inheritance to “compensate for not becoming sovereign.”
The brothers will split another dividend when Prince Harry turns 40 (later this year). The second installment will be worth an estimated £8 million (about $10 million), though we highly doubt Prince William will be as generous next time around.
Princess Diana also left behind money for her two children. The royal set up a $10 million (after taxes) trust fund for Prince William and Prince Harry, who started receiving dividends at age 25. Forbes estimated the annual checks to be worth around $450,000.

Prince Harry used to receive an income just for being a member of the royal family. Five percent of his earnings came from the Sovereign Grant , which is a lump sum of taxpayer dollars that is given to the monarch on an annual basis.
The rest (95 percent) stemmed from the Duchy of Cornwall , which is a privately run estate now managed by Prince Harry’s brother, Prince William. Previously, it was managed by King Charles . (Since stepping down, Prince Harry no longer receives this source of income; more on that in number 8.)

5. How Did Prince Harry Make Money After He Left the Royal Family?
Netflix's Harry & Meghan
While the exact numbers are unknown, Prince Harry and Markle likely received a hefty paycheck for their participation in the Netflix docuseries Harry & Meghan . The couple has partnered with the streaming service to launch multiple shows, as part of a reported $100 million deal .
Harry's Memoir, Spare
The Duke's tell-all memoir that shook the world last year was a best-seller after its release. According to the New York Times , Spare sold for $20 million as part of a multi-book deal.
Spotify Partnership
It was reported that the deal between the ex-royals and Spotify was estimated to be about $20 million. According to the Wall Street Journal , this deal was axed last year due to missing "productivity benchmarks." However, this fallout did not seem to affect Celebrity Net Worth's assessment of their joint net worth of $60 million.

Per Celebrity Net Worth, it's reported that Prince William has an estimated net worth of $100 million , as the next heir to the throne. But after their father's ascendance to King in 2022, William inherited and now manages the Duchy of Cornwall, valued at a large sum of $1 billion, skyrocketing his net worth past Harry's.
