A rarely-seen member of the Royal family is reportedly worth more than Kate Middleton, Princess Anne, and Prince Edward combined. Despite his low public profile, he has an estimated net worth of £32 million.

We're used to seeing working royals like Princess Anne and Prince Edward at various Royal engagements, but Prince Michael of Kent, who remains relatively under the radar in the UK, has amassed a significant fortune. Prince Michael of Kent, cousin to the late Queen Elizabeth, boasts a staggering net worth despite being a non-working Royal and 52nd in line to the throne, according to Yahoo Finance.

Born in 1942 to Prince George and Princess Marina of Greece and Denmark, Prince Michael was seventh in line to the throne at birth. However, as Queen Elizabeth's lineage expanded with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, he slipped down to 52nd.

With an impressive net worth estimated at around £32 million, Prince Michael surpasses the combined wealth of Princess Anne, Kate Middleton, and Prince Edward, who each have a reported net worth of £8 million, reports the Mirror.

Not being classified as a full-time working Royal hasn't stopped Prince Michael from engaging in about 100 charities and organisations similar to other firm members. The prince carries out approximately 200 public engagements for the charity sector each year supported by his own household.

Engagements have included everything from transport-related causes to promoting Russo-British relationships. He once headed a Bentley rally journeying from Brooklands Museum in Surrey to Moscow, paving a road of over £25K towards the Children's Fire and Burns Trust.

Well-educated at Eton College, Prince Michael is known for his aptitude for languages. Beyond mastering English and French, he boasts a "working knowledge" of German and Italian, and was also the first Royal to study Russian to such a proficiency that he could interpret it.

Moreover, his family connections intertwine with Russian royalty. His grandmother was the first cousin of Nicholas II, linking him twice removed to the last Tsar of Russia.

His marriage to Baroness Marie Christine von Reibnitz, now recognized as Princess Michael of Kent, took place in 1978. They are proud parents of two children Lord Frederick Windsor, an Oxford-educated banker, and Lady Gabriella Kingston.
