The 10 Richest Royal Families In Europe

King Carl XVI Gustaf is the reigning King of Sweden, and the longest reigning monarch in Sweden’s history. He’s been king since 1973. King Carl has a current net worth of $70 million, far surpassing that of many other royals. He might look familiar to you, as year after year, he presents the Nobel Prizes and also takes part in the Polar Music Prizes. The Swedish royal family is the richest and arguably most glamorous in Scandinavia, but they also give other families a run for their money; coming in as the fifth richest royal family in Europe. Gustaf himself reportedly has investments in industry, agriculture, trade, technology, environment and automobiles. The family has use of a 600 room palace in Stockholm, but Carl and his wife Sylvia reportedly live in Drottningholm Palace, which is somewhat smaller. However, in total, the royal family can stay in any one of their eleven palaces that are spread across the beautiful country of Sweden. Gustaf’s family has some very fancy properties that are not connected to the state, including their summer home, Solliden Palace, on the Baltic Islands.
