150,000 Works of Art

Owned Since: 17th Century
Valued At: $10 billion*

In the 17th century, King Charles I started collecting art. The collection passed to each new sovereign as they ascended the throne. More than 150,000 pieces are included. Some are by some of history’s most well-known painters. Many news outlets have covered Queen Elizabeth II’s impressive art collection, including ViacomCBS and, more broadly, the Royal Academy of Arts. The $10 billion acquisition added even more value to the $10 billion art collection. This incredible collection includes original works by Peter Paul Rubens, Fan Hals, Leonardo da Vinci, and Rembrandt, among others.

Six Royal Residences

Owned Since: Late 11th Century (Windsor Castle)
Valued At: $18 billion*

The costs of royal residences are difficult to determine. There are six houses from which to choose. The Queen’s Scottish home is Holyrood, and the Queen’s Irish residence is Sandringham. Buckingham Palace is the headquarters. The Queen’s country residence is Windsor Castle, and her summer residence is Balmoral. Balmoral in Town and Country is the Queen’s favorite residence. The Queen will remain at Buckingham Palace until 2020. She will not be returning this year. Queen Elizabeth also owns other real estate holdings that are used as formal Royal Residencies.

Three Shopping Centers

Owned Since: Unknown
Valued At: Over $2 billion*

The Crown Estate portfolio encompasses a wide range of assets, including retail and leisure properties. The Queen is free to shop whenever she wants. The retail portfolio generated over $2 billion in sales. The Crown Estate estimates over 100 million shoppers to visit its shopping centers this year. There are 17 shopping centers in total, with a total of 7 million square feet of land leased. Because 10% of the portfolio is still “under development,” these figures are likely to increase.

All the Swans on the River Thames

Owned Since: 15th Century
Valued At: $130,000*

The Queen was born in 1926, but her obligation to own all of the swans dates back to the 15th century. Every one of the “unclaimed mute swans” on any water in England and Wales belong to Her Majesty. With a swan costing around $300, this little nest egg is worth around $130,000. Swans were a delicacy back then, so this was one of the Royals’ most impressive collections. This isn’t the case any longer. The Queen conducts an annual swan count to ensure that their numbers remain stable.

1333 Diamond Tiara

Owned Since: 1953
Valued At: $700,000*

Rundell & Bridge created the famous 1333 Diamond Diadem tiara in 1820. The designers of the headpiece were charged by George IV. As part of Queen Victoria’s collection, it became a well-known piece. The queen wore a tiara at her coronation in 1953. An estimated $700,000 in cash today is enough to make Tiffany’s green with envy. On all Commonwealth stamps and banknotes, she wears it. When the tiara is not on the queen’s head, it can be seen at Buckingham Palace.

A Team of Racehorses

Owned Since: 1940s
Valued At: $9 million*

Horse racing has a long history in the United Kingdom. Her Majesty is unlikely to have had to wager on DraftKings, but she is familiar with the gambling world. Elizabeth began racing with her mother and has since gone on to own a number of successful horses. The Queen ended up winning 451 races and amassing a $9 million fortune. Liz currently has 30 horses in training and keeps a close eye on any potential investments. Horses have long been a part of many royal families’ traditions.

The Tower of London

Owned Since: 1953
Valued At: $56 billion*

Due to her role on the throne, Queen Elizabeth II is the legal owner of $56 billion in assets. It is strictly speaking the property of whoever holds the throne. The building dates back to 1078, but it is best known for its time as a prison in the 16th and 17th centuries. Famous figures like Sir Walter Raleigh and Queen Elizabeth I were held captive within its walls before ascending to the throne. The Crown Jewels of England were once housed there, and the Tudors used it as a royal residence.

Regent Street

Owned Since: Date unknown
Valued At: $2 billion*

To have an estate on Regent Street in London for £ 200 in real life, you’ll have to pay a lot more. The Queen does not have to be concerned about receiving her paper currency. She already has the majority of it. For a long time, the Crown Estate has been the proud owner of $2 billion in real estate. It’s most likely an old, long-standing agreement that predates Elizabeth herself. Regent Street has since become one of England’s most important thoroughfares, and not just because of its fantastic shopping opportunities.

50,000-acre Balmoral Estate in Northeast Scotland

Owned Since: 1451
Valued At: $140 million* (Balmoral Castle)

The Queen’s favorite residence is said to be Balmoral Estate. The estate covers 50,000 acres in Aberdeenshire. The Royal Family continues to expand it, and the estate is undeniably successful. Balmoral has farmland, grouse moors, deer, and cattle herds to manage. “Bouchmorale” first appeared in British Crown records in 1451. “Bouchmorale” became “Balmoral” in 1856. Prince Albert, the king’s consort, later redesigned the Balmoral estate. Balmoral Castle is one of Scotland’s most impressive structures. Prince Albert, the queen’s consort, bought the property. The land does not belong to the queen; she has private possession of it.

20,000-acre Sandringham Estate in Norfolk

Owned Since: 1862
Valued At: $65 million* (House)

The Sandringham Estate is the country residence of Queen Elizabeth II. It has been around since the Elizabethan era, when the asset was constructed. Sandringham has changed hands several times. The Estate was not in Royal hands until 1862. At the time, the King was committed to Sandringham, writing to his mother that he was “so happy” there and “love[d] the place” in a letter. The Prince of Wales Manor took three decades to complete. It was also the location of King George V’s death.

The UK’s Continental Shelf

Owned Since: 1964 (Drilling Rights)
Valued At: $64 billion* (Oil)

The UKCS is Queen Elizabeth II’s most valuable natural resource. The UK Continental Shelf refers to the waters surrounding the United Kingdom.

A Bat Colony

Owned Since: 2019
Valued At: Priceless

A colony of bats arranged in her own hall at Balmoral Castle is one of Her Majesty’s favourite parts. According to other evidence, Elizabeth may have developed a new hobby as a result of Discovery Channel programming. The animals set up camp in the main hall of the main house, but instead of leaving it to the animals to sort it out, Elizabeth got involved. The royal employees let the bats out of the castle and leave the windows open so that they can return whenever they want.

An Estimated 6.6 Billion Acres of Land Worldwide

Owned Since: 1066
Valued At: $88 billion*

Queen Elizabeth II owns a large portion of the world’s land, much of which is under her absolute authority. The Queen has the backing of King Abdullah’s billions of acres. The Queen is the monarch in 32 countries. She is the Commonwealth’s Chairperson (of Nations). On the crown estate, there is a portfolio that pays its profits to the royal treasury. Queen Elizabeth, on the other hand, will make a 15% profit. 6.6 billion acres is one-sixth of the Earth’s surface, unless you’re shocked. Many of these accumulated assets were purchased during the colonization period.

A Massive Faberge Egg Collection

Owned Since: 1900
Valued At: $200 million*

Some people collect various items, and some have preferences in terms of what they collect. The Queen has a collection of valuable Faberge eggs, but she keeps them to herself. In 1900, Queen Alexandra and Edward VII began collecting pieces, eventually amassing a collection of over 600 pieces. The Queen now owns an egg collection and accessories worth $200 million.

All of Scotland’s Gold Mines

Owned Since: Unknown
Valued At: $300 million+*

There have been some items that are so far out of this world so they seem almost incredibly difficult to deal with. Take the Crown’s authority to Scotland’s gold fields. People who have previously discovered gold nuggets are often hesitant to cash in on their good fortune for fear of upsetting the Queen. The Crown has a monopoly on salmon fishing and gold mining rights in Scotland. When the mines became part of the Royal Family’s real estate holdings is unknown.

The World’s Largest Clear-Cut Diamond

Owned Since: 1910
Valued At: $51 million*

Some of us can only fantasize about owning a diamond worth more than our car. The Queen is the proud guardian of the 530.2-carat diamond. Prior to actually being used as part of the Sovereign’s Sceptre with the Cross, the diamond was first presented to Mary of Teck in 1910. A diamond is rarely seen outside of the crown jewels. The Cullinan Diamond was difficult to cut and split. In the original diamond, nine magnificent stones added a fortune to the Queen’s fortune.

The Queen is known for having more than thirty incredibly cute Corgis since ascending to the throne. Did you know, however, that she also owns Dorgis? Vulcan and Willow, the Queen’s only Dorgis, have been with her since 2012, when the last of her purebred Corgis died. The puppies have a wonderful life. They even have their own room, which they call the corgi room. The Queen is nearby, and they’re sleeping in raised beds. In addition to delivering toys, the royal family’s stockings are personalized. The dogs are buried on the Royal Estate where they lived.

All the Dolphins in the United Kingdom

Owned Since: 1324
Valued At: Priceless

The royals have said a lot of strange and unexpected things over the years. The monarch will own all of the fish and fisheries in the United Kingdom. It still holds true today. The Queen is the proud owner of whales and porpoises. This profile is ideal for the queen because she is a strong animal lover. Despite her affection for her swans and bats, some Royal courtiers believe Elizabeth has a soft spot in her heart for dolphins.

Hyde Park

Owned Since: 1660
Valued At: $19 billion*

From her residence to other parts of the UK, Queen Elizabeth II does have plenty of greenery. She is the owner of Hyde Park in London.

While many concerts and other events are held there, Londoners use it as a social gathering place. Some of the very first movie images were captured near Apsley Gate in 1889.

The queen is the proud owner of two rare black jaguar cats. Aizita and Marques are the names of the jaguars, and they live in the London Zoo with the other exotic animals that the queen was given. The black jaguar is the most elusive of all panthers. Due to hunting and habitat destruction, there are only 600 left in the wild. There are more black jaguars than non-black jaguars in the dense vegetation. Animal experts are on duty 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to keep the jaguars happy and healthy.

Offshore Wind Farm

Owned Since: 2010
Valued At: $900 million*

The majority of people are unaware that the Crown owns a few different renewable energy projects. The British Queen owns the seabed and anything built on it. The wind farm was built in 2010 just a few miles off the coast. The price tag is astronomical, with the company investing $900 million in its development. The project was announced by the Crown in 2004, but it was not completed for another 6 years. Analysts estimate that Queen Elizabeth’s wind farms will bring in millions of dollars.

200 Launer Handbags

Owned Since: 1950s
Valued At: $500,000*

The Queen has the financial means to purchase any type of handbag she desires. She may be spending a few thousand dollars on Ralph Lauren or Chanel designs, but they do not appeal to Her Majesty. Liz, on the other hand, favors Launer, a London-based designer. Her mother gave her one in the 1950s, which started a lifelong obsession. The queen now owns more than 200 Launer handbags. Her favorite styles are the Royale and Traviata. Each one cost $2,500, making them extremely valuable and expensive for her collection.

Valued At: Priceless

A suit of armor that once belonged to Henry VIII is now owned by the Queen of England. The armor dates from the 1540s, when Henry’s weight began to rise. As the king grew, so did his armor. The armor itself can now be seen in gallery exhibitions all over the world. The Royal Armouries is frequently on display, but it was also invited to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. While Henry VIII had a number of armor suits at his disposal, this is by far the most famous.

A Private ATM

Owned Since: Unknown
Valued At: $8,000*

When Her Majesty is at Buckingham Palace, she doesn’t have to worry about running down to the nearest Bank of America ATM. For starters, she prefers Coutts, an ultra-exclusive ancient institution that has been around since 1692. Rather than dispatching a butler with her card, the Queen can simply go down to her basement and withdraw cash, which she rarely requires. The date Coutts installed the ATM in his London home is unknown, but the machine itself is estimated to cost around $8,000, not including the money inside.

2002 Land Rover Defender

Owned Since: 2002
Valued At: $163,390*

The 2002 Land Rover Defender is a British military vehicle, not just a car for the Royals. The Queen’s long-standing Land Rover partnership is still going strong, but this model isn’t one of her limited-edition Land Rovers. Since the Defender’s introduction in the early 1980s, more than two million have been built. It’s possible that a 2020 Land Rover Defender will be available, as well as a Land Rover Defender update. The 2020 Defender is the first update since 1983. The Defender is frequently used by the Queen’s Royal retinue because it is more suitable for travel.

As a result, Liz owns more than half of some of the UK’s most beautiful locations. We can’t put a price on it, but it’s far more than most of us would ever expect or consider possible.

Two Tortoises From Seychelles

Owned Since: 1972
Valued At: $20,000*

Most of us have pets, but probably not the two giant tortoises of Aldabra. She saw two of those special animals when the Queen was in Seychelles. They moved with her to London Zoo instead of to Buckingham Palace. They lived there for some time before moving on to a new pasture. Purchasing a baby Aldabra tortoise costs somewhere in the region of $10,000, making this a very expensive parting gift.

As you have guessed, the Crown Estate owns an exceptional amount of the United Kingdom and beyond. Among its impressive property portfolio is 25,000 acres of rural land used for farming. Some of the land lies completely untouched, like dense forests that were as large as they were hundreds of years ago today. It might be hard to imagine a world in which, as cities and new developments continue to spring up across England, the Crown manages to hold onto the land forever. However, it’s definitely a precious asset with untold value.
