This member of the royal family has more wealth than the Princess of Wales, Princess Anne, and Prince Edward combined – but he’s rarely seen in public.
We’re all used to seeing working royals like the late Queen’s daughter, Princess Anne, and her brother Prince Edward at various royal engagements, but there’s one member of the family who has an estimated net worth of £32 million despite remaining relatively under the radar in the UK.
Prince Michael of Kent is the cousin of the late Queen Elizabeth, and according to Yahoo Finance, he has a staggering net worth, even though he’s a non-working royal – and is 52nd in line to the throne.

Prince Michael was born in 1942 to Prince George and Princess Marina of Greece and Denmark. When he was born, he was seventh in line to the throne, but after Queen Elizabeth had children of her own, and those children had children – who now even have kids of their own – he slipped all the way down to 52nd.
With a staggering net worth estimated to be around £32 million, Prince Michael is worth more than Princess Anne, Princess Kate, and Prince Edward combined – who are all worth a respective £8 million.
And although he isn’t considered a working member of the royal family, he is still involved in around 100 charities and organisations, much like other members of The Firm. Prince Michael also undertakes around 200 public working engagements for the charity sector, funded by his own household, The Express reports.
The prince’s charitable deeds range from his interest in transport to his passion for Russia, including when he led a rally of Bentleys from Brooklands Museum in the UK to Moscow, raising more than £25K for the Children’s Fire and Burns Trust.
Educated at Eton, Prince Michael has a penchant for languages and in addition to being fluent in French, he had a “working knowledge” of German and Italian. He also became the first member of the Royal Family to learn Russian, of which he is a qualified interpreter.
The prince’s bloodline also extends to the Romanovs, the last imperial family of Russia. His grandmother was first cousin to Nicholas II, making Michael a first cousin twice removed of the last Russian tsar.
He married Baroness Marie Christine von Reibnitz – known today as Princess Michael of Kent – in 1978 and the pair have two children together, Oxford-educated banker Lord Frederick Windsor, and Lady Gabriella Kingston.
