Question

Who is the duke of westminister?

Answer 1

The title Duke of Westminster was created by Queen Victoria in 1874 and bestowed upon Richard Grosvenor, the 3rd Marquess of Westminster. The title is derived from Westminster. The current holder of this hereditary peerage title is Major-General Gerald Cavendish Grosvenor, 6th Duke of Westminster.

The richest aristocrat in the United Kingdom, the Duke topped the Sunday Times Rich List as Britain's wealthiest individual for many years and was surpassed only in 2004 by Jewish-Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich. The Duke was 3rd in the Sunday Times Rich List 2008, behind Roman Abramovich and the Indian-born industrialist, Lakshmi Mittal, who currently holds first place.

An estimated fortune of £7 billion ($14 billion) is derived largely from property in central London, where he owns approximately 300 acres (1.2 km²) of the most exclusive commercial and residential property in Mayfair and Belgravia (including the land on which the U.S. Embassy stands, in Grosvenor Square), as well as estates in Lancashire, Cheshire (Eaton Hall) and Scotland.

In addition to managing its traditional holdings, the Duke's property company, the Grosvenor Group, is an active property developer with interests around the world. It is the main developer of The Paradise Project in Liverpool. The Duke is also president of a number of charities including The Institution of Environmental Sciences.

The Duke of Westminster heir-apparent is Hugh Richard Louis Grosvenor, Earl Grosvenor (born 29 January 1991), he is the third of four children and the only son of the 6th Duke of Westminster. Through his mother, Lord Grosvenor is 647th in line to the British throne, as he is a descendant of Princess Augusta Charlotte of Wales (eldest daughter of Frederick, Prince of Wales and a granddaughter of King George II).
