Prince George might be the king of England someday, but when it comes to bank accounts, Princess Charlotte is the one in the lead. According to a new study, Charlotte is now the richest child in the world, with a net worth that’s higher than both George and Louis. But because they’re all part of the royal family, why is Charlotte worth so much more — and how does she have so much cash to her name at just 8 years old, anyway?
Charlotte is far and away the richest kid.
In a study conducted by Outdoor Toys, it was determined that Charlotte is worth £3.9 billion — or a whopping $4.4 billion in USD. According to the study, her riches come from inheritances and investments and other assets of the Crown Estate.
George comes in second.
Unfortunately, his net worth is quite a bit behind his little sister’s at £2.8 billion, or $3.5 billion USD. Some of his wealth comes from the properties he inherited just by virtue of being born, which will certainly serve him well in the future.
Louis much farther down on the list.
Quite a few celebrity kids rank between George and Louis on the list, including Blue Ivy Carter and Stormi Webster. Louis just barely made the top 10, coming in ninth place with a net worth of £98 million, or about $124.2 million USD.
Still, not too shabby — and at 5 years old, he has plenty of time to catch up!
Part of Charlotte’s net worth comes from her impact on the economy.
Even at her young age, Charlotte is already having quite an effect on the United Kingdom economically. Just like mom Kate Middleton, her fashion choices quickly sell out online — she’s already an icon. There’s no doubt that her power will only increase in this way as she gets older.

The financial power between these three children is overwhelming.
By virtue of being born into royalty, they really won the jackpot (both literally and figuratively).
If Charlotte needs help spending all that cash, she knows where to find us. We have a few ideas!
