Chapter 2062 Rich

The luxury mansions of nobles in the country are surrounded by unprecedentedly huge gardens, ranging from thousands of acres to small ones, or even tens of thousands of acres, most of which were designed and created by the most famous garden designers at that time - Capable Brown and Repton.

In the 18th century, the 11th Duke of Norfolk intentionally built a garden with an area of ​​5,000 acres in order to make the Earl of Lonsdales, the owner of Fort Lauderdale with only 4,000 acres of gardens, feel ashamed. This is a typical jealous consumption behavior. .

But the nobles and rich people of that era had very few ways to show off their wealth, and there was no other way except to expand their territories and build luxury houses.

Of course, it was also related to the inconvenient transportation in that era. Now the rich are flying in private jets, wherever they want to go, but in that era, they spent most of their lives in their own manors, so naturally they must try their best to make the most of their lives. The manor becomes perfect, filled with various entertainment and leisure facilities, so that one's life will not be lacking.

But now, if he wanted to protect such a large piece of land, let alone the lonely nobles, even Yang Cheng would probably have to grit his teeth.

He now feels that Beihai Manor is too big, that is to say, his ability to make money is good now, but if one day he loses his ability to make money, Beihai Manor will not be able to last for a few days relying on his old capital.

Not to mention, with dozens of servants and Carson, the annual salary expenditure is several million pounds. How can those nobles who live by renting castles not feel ashamed?

Therefore, Yang Cheng has always held a negative attitude towards buying another castle. Buying it is a waste, and no one will take it over.

But William has talked all about this, and it is related to the title he may get. I am afraid that Yang Cheng will not do the bloodletting this time.

Speaking of it, Prince Charles is quite a legendary figure. Not only is he the crown prince with the longest standby time in British history, but his century-old emotional entanglements are also legendary, which greatly damaged his image among the people and gave Britain The royal family caused a huge shock.

But he is still recognized as the most philanthropic prince in British history. He is versatile and proficient in gardening.

The key is also quite talented in the business field, becoming the first prince in British history with a net worth of hundreds of millions of pounds.

The assets of Prince Charles mainly come from his territory - the Duchy of Cornwall. Charles, who is quite business-minded, will belong to his Duchy of Cornwall and operate quite well.

No one has the right to move the only two royal hereditary territories in the UK: one is the Duke of Lancaster, which is exclusive to the British king. It only belongs to the previous British monarchs and only provides income for the monarchs. queen elizabeth;

The other is the Cornwall territory exclusively owned by the Crown Princes of Wales.

Now this territory belongs only to Prince Charles. When Prince Charles becomes king and William succeeds Prince of Wales, this territory will belong to Prince William.

In 1337, Edward III, the eldest son Edward, was the first Duke of Cornwall. His territory included 23 counties in England and Wales, 135,000 acres (54,500 hectares) of land, most of which were located in the southwest of England.

The territory now includes many commercial real estate, buildings, and financial investment companies. The current Duchy of Cornwall certainly belongs to the current Crown Prince of Wales, Charles, Duke of Cornwall.

Charles has officially taken over the Duchy of Cornwall since 1969 at the age of 21 and has been actively involved in the running of the territory.

Previously, Prince Charles was still in Milton Keynes, the British economic center in central England, and purchased a commercial warehouse worth 35 million pounds, including the Port Elliot estate in Cornwall.

The Duchy of Cornwall has 81,000 acres of agricultural land worth £365m, 700 tenanted.

In addition, the dukedom also includes a total of 5,700 acres of forest land worth 18 million pounds. Other assets of the crown prince include the Llwynywormwood estate in Wales worth 28 million pounds, 23 properties in London and an oval cricket field, and the British ecological model town of Poundbury built by the crown prince. inside.

Dorset, located in the southwestern part of England, belongs to the territory directly under the British royal family. It is an ecological demonstration area built by Prince Charles with the Prince's trust fund many years ago. Plus 67,460 acres of Dartmoor and Isles of Scilly flower farms.

After a year, Prince Charles can obtain a stable income of 20 million pounds in the Duchy of Cornwall, and this also makes the total assets of the territory exceed 1 billion pounds.

These are public accounts. The Crown Prince wants his private property to be transparent. The money was obtained from the Duchy of Cornwall and belongs to Prince Charles’s own private property rather than public property. To put it bluntly, it is to tell the public——I made money It has nothing to do with your dime, so no matter how I use it, don't say that I used your tax money.

Of course, no matter what he thinks, after Prince Charles voluntarily chooses to pay the corresponding personal income taxes, this land has nothing to do with the people, and will eventually be handed over to his son, Prince William, and then to Prince George. Prince Charles has already laid the business foundation for his offspring.

Aides to Prince Charles have publicly stated, "As the Duke of Cornwall, His Royal Highness is entitled to the annual income of the realm, which is used for public affairs, private affairs and His Royal Highness' charitable activities. A healthy balance sheet proves that His Royal Highness has successfully managed the realm. , he aspires to make this property stronger and pass it on to his next generation.”

This sentence is like everyone's surface, don't worry about my assets, they all belong to my descendants!

By the way, Prince Charles once used 15 million pounds of territorial income to pay for Camilla's sister Annabelle Elliott, including paying for interior designers, buying furniture and stocks, but Clarence Palace made it clear that Anna Bell Elliott has repaid a large portion of the cost of the renovation.

In addition, Prince Charles will also pay for William and Kate's family, as well as Harry and Meghan's clothing every year, so when many British people are crazily complaining about Meghan's big names and extravagance, I am afraid they have never thought about it. The source of extravagant consumption was found early, and everyone's mouths were blocked.

Even if Prince Harry and Meghan chose to withdraw from the royal family and stated that they would no longer use the royal family’s public funds, this does not mean that the couple will not continue to accept Charles’s “sponsorship”. With Prince Charles’ net worth, how could it be possible to watch his son outside What about suffering?

This old guy is good at doing business, and it is not easy for outsiders to take advantage of him, otherwise the queen would not entrust him with things that obviously offend people.
