Being a prince is hard work. The misconception that royals spend their time sitting on a throne, wearing elaborate jewels and partying with their royal friends is a myth. They spend countless hours going over politics, the economy and spending countless hours making public appearances and working for charities. Even the world’s wealthiest princes do this. Read on to find out which princes are the wealthiest.
Prince Albert – $1 billion
Prince Albert is the famed prince of Monaco, which is one of the most upscale countries in the world. He has a net worth of $1 billion.

Andrea Casiraghi – $1.7 billion
He’s the son of Princess Caroline of Monaco and he’s the grandson of Grace Kelly. He’s not quite as wealthy as his sister, but with nearly $2 billion to his name, he’s not doing so badly.

Prince Hans-Adam II – $3.3 billion
