The Duke and Duchess of Sussex famously stepped down from royal life in early 2020 to become financially independent and escape the control and alleged racism of "The Firm" ( though they don't advocate for abolition of the monarchy as a whole ). Since leaving the life of a senior royal, the couple has been quite commercially successful—and on Harry's 40th birthday, he's set to become even richer. Find out Prince Harry's net worth in 2024 and how he's made it (or, you know, inherited it) so far.
What is Prince Harry's net worth in 2024?
Prince Harry's net worth in 2024 is estimated at a cool $60 million, The New York Post reports . While the bulk of that is directly from being born into royalty, a lot of it is in directly from being born into royalty: The Duke's high profile has led to lucrative contracts with brands including Spotify, Netflix, BetterUp and more.
Prince Harry is reportedly worth $60 million thanks to all of his contracts and inheritance. However, it's important to note that he and his family of four don't exactly live cheaply.
Meghan famously told The Cut of their $14.65 million Montecito mansion, "We didn't have jobs, so we just were not going to come and see this house. It wasn't possible. It’s like when I was younger and you’re window shopping—it's like, 'I don't want to go and look at all the things that I can't afford. That doesn't feel good .' "
The home boasts a separate cottage for guests or kids, as well as nine bedrooms, 16 bathrooms, a spa, a temperature-controlled wine cellar and more across a sprawling 5.4 acres of land.
Us Weekly reported that Harry and Meghan took out an estimated $10 million mortgage on the property, and real estate experts claim the home's annual operating costs to likely be in the six-figure range. Combined with their security costs (more on that below), the couple have had to work hard without further handouts from the King to supplement their lifestyle.
Is Prince William richer than Harry?
As the heir to the throne, Prince William is significantly wealthier than Prince Harry, "the spare": William is officially worth more than $1 billion.
Harry reportedly inherited a cool $8.5 million from the Queen Mother (his great-grandmother) for his 40th birthday in September 2024. It's his share of a $90 million trust that the Queen Mother established before her death in March 2002 at age 102.
Where is Prince Harry getting his money?
Harry has diversified his income streams in pretty impressive ways.
In addition to money he inherited by accident of birth, he and Meghan share a deal with Netflix (see below) and previously had a $20 million Spotify contract, though their relationship ended with the audio giant before they saw the full payday for their efforts ... which amounted to just 12 episodes of Meghan's Archetypes podcast.
Harry is also a published author, chief impact officer at BetterUp, the public face of Travalyst and an investor in Ethic. He and Meghan also earn money for speaking engagements—with their fees estimated at a cool $1 million apiece per gig .
According to Forbes , Harry inherited $10 million from his mother Princess Diana when he turned 25 years old. He said in his and Meghan's interview with Oprah Winfrey that his inheritance from the late Princess of Wales helped sustain their lifestyle and security costs when they first stepped down as senior royals and moved to the United States.
Harry and Meghan together will make a reported $100 million from Netflix if they keep producing successful content. The docuseries about their lives and exit from their roles as senior royals, Harry & Meghan , did gangbusters in ratings, and they have a rom-com in the works as well. Other ventures for the streamer, like Heart of Invictus and Live to Lead , haven't hit with mainstream audiences, and an animated series Pearl was cut before production began.
Further, sources told The Wrap that not all of that $100 million will go to the Sussexes themselves: They're said to have an "overhead agreement," in which some of those funds will go to paying Archewell Productions staff.
That said, Meghan has an upcoming cooking and lifestyle show for Netflix to coincide with the launch of her American Riviera Orchard brand, so they may well have another successful show on their hands.
Harry reportedly got a $20 million advance for his memoir, Spare . The book was one of the bestselling of all time, and it's unknown if he received any bonuses for its sales performance. However, it's estimated that he may have gotten an extra $6 million or $7 million just for the stellar sales of the hardcover alone—and with the paperback version hitting shelves, it's safe to assume he'll keep earning cash from the venture for a while.
One of Prince Harry's biggest expenses is around-the-clock security for himself, Meghan, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet . He reportedly spends $2 million annually on security alone.
