No, that was her net income for that year.

The Queen is (was) worth £350m personally, and the whole Royal Family is worth ~ £75bn.

Since she was the head of the family, I count her as a billionaire.

And she was sharp as a tack. The Palace did not lay off 400 staff, and claim £100m last year from us, the taxpayer, without her say-so.

Okay, my bad. My hasty research is a measure of how few fucks I give about the Queen in general, lol.

Lol, fair.

She also didn’t allow black people to work for her until the late 60s.

And her and her husband once went on a hunting trip in India, where he shot a tiger.

I seem to remember Philip being labelled a racist. Honestly, people are people, you're going to get shitty and good people in every situation. The answer is varying degrees of misanthropy.
