SINGAPORE, June 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Wealth-X, the global UHNW prospecting, intelligence and wealth due diligence firm, has unveiled the net worth of the top 14 adult members of the British royal line of succession.

Her Majesty, the Queen, who is celebrating 60 years on the throne, helms the list with a net worth of at least US$ 510 million. Prince Charles is next with at least US$ 210 million. A distant third is Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge, with a modest US$ 19 million.

That allows us to produce valuations and net worth figures that are realistic and applicable." On the significance of the data, Mr Rambus noted, "The fact that the combined wealth of the top 14 members only reached US$1 billion reflects what has been suspected for some time: that new wealth is overtaking old wealth in Britain."
