The royal family falls into the latter category.

In fact, Prince Charles' yearly income soared this past year, according to theDaily Mail.

When you hear the number, you’ll see why it pays to be royal.

That means that he will someday be the king.

It also means that he is a very wealthy man.

That’s a whole lot of tea and crumpets, my friend.

The number for Prince Charles' net worth is not exactly the easiest to determine.

More people traveling to residences that he owns or has holdings in reportedly made for some hefty pocket change.

Apparently those residences are doing pretty well.

According to theDaily Mail, his estate is up to 1.2 billion ($1.45 billion).

Yes, you read that correctly billion.

The publication also notes that it makes for a 93 million jump from the previous year.

How’s that for a post-pandemic flourish?

While it definitely pays to be royal, this king-to-be is doing pretty well with his money.
