Ammon News - Princess Charlotte has been described as the richest child in the world with a net worth in the billions—but in reality these figures are wildly overstated.

The nine-year-old royal is certainly destined for a life free from the pressures ordinary people face, such as rising grocery bills and the threat of corporate cuts.

However, figures for her net worth quoted on TikTok appear to stem from an estimate not of her own riches but of her value to the U.K. economy, which she may in reality never be allowed to profit from.

Princess Charlotte's Actual Net Worth
Charlotte is likely destined for a career as a working royal unless her parents plan to disrupt the normal course of royal life and try to find a new path for her.

If she does take on official duties she will never get the chance to capitalize on her potential value to the economy because royals are public servants and cannot trade off the monarchy.

Even if she does break away she would never be able to capture 100 percent of the value she would contribute to the economy, which is likely overstated in the Reader's Digest piece anyway.

To make the point succinctly, Meghan was also viewed as a fashion icon during her time as a working royal and is now trading off her fame in the private sector alongside Prince Harry. Newsweek
