Prince Charles Net Worth: Future King Of England Tries To Save Red Squirrels, But How Much Is He Worth?

As the first in line to the throne of England, Prince Charles' net worth is nothing short of interesting, as by law he's the future King of England once his mother Queen Elizabeth II leaves the throne.

Prince Charles' net worth comes partially from his natural inheritance as Prince of Wales, but over the years he has also turned into a champion of sustainability, as he's also a successful businessman and environmentalist - he even established the Duchy Home Farm, which is run by the Duchy of Cornwall, one of his royal titles (bestowed upon the oldest son of a reigning monarch of the United Kingdom).

As an heir, a businessman and a member of one of the world's most powerful royal families, Prince Charles' net worth is far from being shabby, as he often takes on successful ventures.

These days, Prince Charles' net worth has come to the attention of the media, as he once again champions an environmentally aware cause: according to United Kingdom's newspaper The Guardian, the heir to the throne has ordered the cull of grey squirrels on his estate, owned as Duke of Cornwall.

This measure has come in an attempt to preserve the red squirrel population, an iconic species in the United Kingdom. The grey species was brought to the country from America in the 19th century, and it can be extremely destructive to woodlands - besides the fact that they carry a poxvirus that is deadly to national red quirrels.

"The red squirrel is a most cherished and iconic national species, and, as patron of the Red Squirrel Survival Trust, the Prince of Wales keenly supports all efforts to conserve and promote their diminishing numbers," a spokesman for the royal said.

As he attempts to take care of his estate's fauna, Prince Charles' net worth is currently at $60 million according to website Celebrity Net Worth - this is more than $400 million less than his mother, the Queen of England.
