Meet the royal millennial who is richer than Queen Elizabeth

 

Known as one of UK’s most eligible bachelors and one of the world’s wealthiest millennials, 29-year-old Hugh Grosvenor makes it to the top. The Duke of Westminster inherited more than £10 billion (US$12.3 billion) from his father, and his personal assets beat Queen Elizabeth’s personal £429.3 million (US$537.2 million) fortune.

However, he caused some controversy for not paying estate taxes after his father died. Despite the controversy, Grosvenor plans to remake London in terms of real estate and recently donated £12.5 million (US$15.6 million) to the UK’s National Health Service (NHS), to research and development and to children’s food charities to help combat Covid-19.
