Is Prince Harry’s net worth lower after marrying Meghan Markle?
Hold up! Are Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s treasure chests taking a tumble? The latest buzz is that the Sussexes’ American media empire might be hitting a rough patch. Royal watchers are whispering, and it’s not sweet nothings!
Let’s take a look at what all of it means for the couple’s net worth, specifically Harry’s!
Deals gone Sour
Their Spotify ship has apparently sailed! After a head-turning $20 million deal with Spotify, the plug has been pulled on Meghan’s podcast Archetypes. The word is that the Sussexes didn’t produce enough content to justify all those millions.
An insider spilled the tea to The Post, and Spotify and Archewell Audio released a joint statement confirming the split. But wait! All is not lost! Meghan’s still cooking something up for Archetypes on another platform, as per an Archewell Productions spokeswoman who chatted with The Wall Street Journal.
Meanwhile, Meghan’s not just chilling in her Montecito mansion! She’s inked a deal with talent agency WME. What’s cooking? The chatter is that Meghan’s set to become Hollywood’s new power player. WME is plotting to expand her empire across film and TV production, and brand partnerships. Meghan’s got biggies like Endeavor CEO Ari Emanuel backing her.
So, how much gold do Harry and Meghan have in their royal vaults? Their estimated net worth is a cool $60 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. And they’ve been on a signing spree since stepping down from the British royal family in 2020. We’re talking a series of lucrative multi-year deals including documentaries, books, podcasts – the whole shebang – worth an estimated total of $135 million, according to Forbes.
Netflix and save
Let’s not forget their Netflix deal! In 2020, the duo scored a whopping $100 million deal with Netflix for a stream of documentaries, docuseries, scripted shows, and more. And did you know that Harry’s memoir Spare sold over three-point-two million copies in its first week? Rumor has it that the book is part of a $20 million multi-book deal!
How did Harry’s net worth get its initial boost? He got a sweet inheritance from his mom, Princess Diana, estimated to be around $10 million, according to The Telegraph. And Meghan’s acting days aren’t forgotten! Remember her as Rachel Zane in Suits? That role and others helped her earn an estimated $2 million, as per Forbes.
Worth it?
California dreaming! Harry and Meghan are making a sweet life for themselves and their two kiddos, Archie and Lilibet, in their $14.7 million Montecito home. They’ve got stars like Oprah and Ellen as neighbors. Not too shabby!
So, are Harry and Meghan’s stacks of cash really taking a hit or are they just leveling up in different ways? And with Meghan looking to become a bigwig in Hollywood, the question on everyone’s lips is, what’s next for this power couple? Will they continue to dazzle us, or is their star set to fade? What do you think?
