Kate Middleton didn't marry Prince William and see money in her account the next day — she already had it. Reader's Digest notes that the Middleton family's company, Party Pieces, is known as the U.K.'s top online party brand. The Middletons founded their now-lucrative company in the late 1980s, their website explains, and now is valued at around $50 million, per Reader's Digest.
Additionally, Kate's father, Michael Middleton, comes from the British aristocracy, Town & Country notes. A recipient of family trust funds, Middleton also worked as a flight dispatcher, where he met his now-wife, Carole. Together, they run the family's company.
Now, as one of the country's top style icons, Kate Middleton is said to bring the country more than her net worth every year. Reader's Digest explains that the amount she generates in tourism and clothing sales is quite substantial. Combined with her husband's fortune, the Duchess of Cambridge is set to inherit even more when her father-in-law becomes king, per the outlet.
Despite her favorite styles from H&M, Kate Middleton certainly has the budget for designer duds.
