If queen elizabeth is one of the 12th richest people in the world.?

Question

and she cant afford to get her roof fixed. what chance have us lowly peasants got in this world?

Answer 1

She is not one of the twelve richest people in the world.She is a multi-millionaire while the richest are all BILLIONAIRES.Her assets do not include state-owned palaces and jewels.

Answer 2

a lot of the properties belong to the state and  not the royal family, in which case the state should pay

Answer 3

How much of a peasant are you talking about?  The word is often used in a very general sense to include anyone who's not a 'royal', so even a rich person can be classed as a peasant.

Answer 4

She's asset-rich, not cash-rich.

And even that's not entirely true as most of her assets belong to the state, not her personally. If she resigned as Queen she would lose everything owned by the state, and would only have her personal fortune, which is quite small compared to what she 'owns' now.

I believe the Government gives her an allowance to live off. Buildings, owned by the state have to be repaired with her own money, even though she doesn't really 'own' them. So that's probably why she can't afford to repair her roof!

Answer 5

a).Maybe fixing her huge roof would bankrupt her.

b).She's the 105th(or was it 150th??) richest person in the world.

Answer 6

I wouldn't think she has a problem fixing the roof. If she was that rich, I would suggest to her to gain 'happiness' by donating most of her money to charity

Answer 7

unfortunately, your info is incorrect. The Queen is ranked 264 richest person in the UK, she is not in the top 100 in the world. However. Maybe you are taking in her state wealth which as it says belongs to the state. However, It also says that she is the 19th richest WOMAN in the world.

So that is why she cannot get her roof fixed, she is a pauper just like the rest of us

Answer 8

she cant?

oh noez!

Answer 9

She's not within the top 12 richest people in the world (she's not even within the top 12 richest in the UK according to the Sunday Times Rich list). If you're talking about Buckingham Palace it's not her responsibility as the Palace belongs to the State. Also the roofs of her residences including those she owns personally are far bigger than most people's.

Answer 10

Richness is a state of mind and its not about the amount of wealth you have....you could have billions of dollars and still not get your roof fixed !!! if you see the paparazzi pics you would know what i mean (how the hollywood actors behave and what they wear and what they do in their private lives)

you wont believe this but they live as ordinary a life as us...its is just that now they can afford a better house and more expensive amenities...but have they changed (as personalities) no...if you knew them before they got rich...they would still be the same after they hit a million bucks!

Answer 11

QE is not even a billionaire. She ranked as the 12th richest royal in the world. But for people she would probably not make the top ten thousand.
