How King Charles III built his fortune | GZERO World

A look at how Prince Charles transformed the Duchy of Cornwall into a billion-pound empire.

Britain's King Charles III was only four years old when his mother was crowned in 1953. But at 74, he's now the oldest person to be crowned in British history, Ian Bremmer explains on GZERO World.

He hasn't spent the past 50 years just sitting around, though - he's transformed his private estate, the Duchy of Cornwall, into a billion-pound business empire.

In 2021, it was worth over a billion pounds, and Charles had received £23 million from it.

While the family does bring in a lot of money for the UK economy, some are questioning the Windsors' ballooning personal fortune in a time of economic crisis.

Why, Ian is there talk about the King’s affinity for the World Economic Forum? Is it inappropriate?

Let's hope the monarchy will die with him - if not earlier.
