King Charles III has a net worth estimated at $600 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. After being the heir apparent to the throne for so long, Charles has finally become the king of the United Kingdom and 14 other Commonwealth realms. He will be inheriting a lot of wealth from his mother.
The new Supreme Governor of the Church of England had a fortune valued at around $100 million before he became the King.

After he ascended the throne, his son Prince William inherited the properties that generate around $20-30 million in revenue per year.
He will also profit from the Crown Estate which is valued at around $25 billion and provides $20 million yearly for the king. Apart from this, the Duchy of Lancaster also gives the monarch an additional $30 million in income annually. Charles will also inherit the Royal Collection Trust, which has paintings from artists like Leonardo da Vinci and Rembrandt.
