Alexandria said:Some various lists that I've seen over the years have measured wealth in different ways. Some have included personal wealth but also assets owned by the family and inheritances bestowed to her from her parents.
Maybe someone better informed about the Dutch can clarify, but Queen Beatrix's personal assets probably include some jewellery as well as property, such as the holiday home in Italy.
I only wondered becuase I've heard in the past that the Dutch RF, and Queen Beatrix in particular, retain a substantial fortune becuase of some shares she owns in oil companies. As you said though someone better ecquainted with the Dutch RF would be better informed.
Alexandria said:I've heard that QEII's wealth has been measured (not necesssarily with the list you've posted) to include assets that she is in care of as the Queen of England, which includes paintings and national artifacts which would be highly valued.
The Forbes list is of QEII's personal wealth, so Buckingham Palace and certain jewels aren't included.
