Prince Harry's Net Worth In 2024 Keeps Growing After Leaving the Royal Fold

Let's be clear: While he may occasionally cry poor in publicPrince Harry's net worth was never, ever going to be low.

The son of King Charles and the late Princess Diana was born into nearly unimaginable wealth and privilege, but with it came pressures, public scrutiny and even threats, which only grew harsher after he married wife Meghan Markle in 2018 and welcomed each of their two children in 2019 and 2021.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex famously stepped down from royal life in early 2020 to become financially independent and escape the control and alleged racism of "The Firm" (though they don't advocate for abolition of the monarchy as a whole). Since leaving the life of a senior royal, the couple has been quite commercially successful—and on Harry's 40th birthday, he's set to become even richer. Find out Prince Harry's net worth in 2024 and how he's made it (or, you know, inherited it) so far.

How much is Prince Harry worth right now?

Prince Harry is reportedly worth $60 million thanks to all of his contracts and inheritance. However, it's important to note that he and his family of four don't exactly live cheaply.

Meghan famously told The Cut of their $14.65 million Montecito mansion, "We didn't have jobs, so we just were not going to come and see this house. It wasn't possible. It’s like when I was younger and you’re window shopping—it's like, 'I don't want to go and look at all the things that I can't afford. That doesn't feel good.'"

The home boasts a separate cottage for guests or kids, as well as nine bedrooms, 16 bathrooms, a spa, a temperature-controlled wine cellar and more across a sprawling 5.4 acres of land.

Us Weekly reported that Harry and Meghan took out an estimated $10 million mortgage on the property, and real estate experts claim the home's annual operating costs to likely be in the six-figure range. Combined with their security costs (more on that below), the couple have had to work hard without further handouts from the King to supplement their lifestyle.

How much did Prince Harry make from Netflix?

Harry and Meghan together will make a reported $100 million from Netflix if they keep producing successful content. The docuseries about their lives and exit from their roles as senior royals, Harry & Meghan, did gangbusters in ratings, and they have a rom-com in the works as well. Other ventures for the streamer, like Heart of Invictus and Live to Lead, haven't hit with mainstream audiences, and an animated series Pearl was cut before production began.

Further, sources told The Wrap that not all of that $100 million will go to the Sussexes themselves: They're said to have an "overhead agreement," in which some of those funds will go to paying Archewell Productions staff.

That said, Meghan has an upcoming cooking and lifestyle show for Netflix to coincide with the launch of her American Riviera Orchard brand, so they may well have another successful show on their hands.
