The Poorest Queens in the world (2023)

from the Exotic nations of Africa to Asia to wealthy Europe the word Queen typically brings out the images of wealth luxury opulence and holding influential power in the nation while Queens are associated with wealth and luxury there are still several reigning Queens in the present world who have less wealth and resources compared to other members of royalty or their predecessors but do you know who these Queens are and why they earn so little maybe not in today's video we bring you the list of the 12 poorest Queens in the world so without further Ado let's start at number 12 we have Queen sethra of Thailand who comes from 200 year old Royal houses called the house of mahadul Queen sethoda was born on June 3rd 1978 in a non-royal Thai Chinese family she was previously an actress and a flight attendant and even a security officer for the royal family until 2019. it was the time when she married King Maha vadra Longhorn also known as Rama X this king is famous for his Grand lifestyle in more than 95 percent of the royal wealth is controlled by the King Alone this means the income of the queen is shrunken to a minimum and now the net worth of the queen is merely five million dollars a small portion of this comes from the government of the nation as annual allowances to fulfill Royal duties and cover her expenses but most of it comes from the income generated through extensive land and properties of the Royal Family by coming from a royal whose members used to lead a royal lifestyle with a net worth of more than Millions this net worth of the queen is two less and many believe this is the result of the modernization of the economy and Constitution in recent years but despite everything Queen suffered as well respected in the nation and is seen as one of the most hard-working and genuine personalities within the Royal Family a Royal Highness Leticia Ortiz Roca Solano was born in 1972 in a common Spanish family where her father was a journalist and her mother was a nurse despite coming from a not so affluent family she had made a successful career in journalism in 2004 she married the Crown Prince of Spain Felipe VI and became the princess however it was in 2014 when Felipe became the king and Princess Letizia became the queen of the nation the net worth of the queen is around 2 million dollars and as a full-time Royal the Queen's yearly income comes from the Spanish government to cover expenses related to the official duties and engagements of the heads of the monarchy where most of this income is received by the king himself and above all the net worth of the queen is considered far less from the past Queens of Spain but the reality was much different a few decades ago when this 300 year old Royal House held both political and financial power in the nation whereas its Queen used to make millions and millions of dollars however this changed in the 1970s when the power of the Spanish royal family started to reduce and with it reduced the wealth of its members nevertheless this 50-year-old Queen enjoys a life of luxury and Prestige alongside her royal family residing in the Magnificent zajuela Palace for our next Queen we move from Spain to a small nation in Africa known as legendo and the queen of a small landlocked nation is Queen massante mojato cieso who comes from the Royal House of moshesh Queen masante mojato cieso was born on June 2nd 1976 in matopeng losoto with the name Anna carabo matsonang she was born into the royal family of Chief barang makoa who was the principal chief of the makokoa moliboli clan coming from an affluent Nation she became the queen of the nation in 2000 when she married King lestie III coming to the Queen's income the queen does not earn her yearly income in the traditional sense instead she receives a stipend from the government which is paid to support her work and her charitable activities the net worth of this 46 year old African queen is around 1.5 million dollars which seems quite a lot considering the financial condition of the nation lesoto is an underdeveloped Nation with a population of 2 million and it has a GPD per capita of only twenty three hundred dollars and many believe this is the reason why the income of the queen is so low however the queen lives a respectable life and the people of Lesotho love their Queen masante for her kind heart dedication to her people and commitment to social causes at number nine we have a queen who comes from the 479 year old house called House of orange Nassau and this queen is Maxima zoragati saruti of the Netherlands born in 1971 to an ordinary Argentina family Maxima grew up without any luxuries in her childhood however she became part of the royal family of the Netherlands when she married William Alexander in 2002 when he was still a Crown Prince of the nation but she became the queen of the nation in 2013 when her husband ascended to the Dutch throne and in terms of income the net worth of the queen is around 1.1 million dollars and being from a constitutional monarchy Nation all of the Queen's income flows from the government of the nation in the form of an annual stipend this stipend is paid to cover her expenses in official duties however this payment of the government has not increased much over the years due to the modernization of the Netherlands and changing from a monarchy to a constitutional monarchy in 1848 this is the prime reason why the yearly income of the queen of the nation is given so less however her Queen Majesty Maxima lives a luxurious life with all her royal facilities and she lives with her husband and her children at number eight we have a queen who comes from Brunei which is a small Asian Nation famous for producing oil and the queen of this nation is Queen saleha binti Muhammad Alam she was born on October 7 1946 in a royal family whereas her father pangarin anakhaji Abdul Rahman was a high-ranking government official and a member of the Brunei royal family but she became the queen of the nation in 1965 when she married hassanobokaya ibni Omar Ali saifudi in the third and became part of the balkaya royal house now this family holds both the financial and political power of the nation which is also famous for being one of the richest royal families with an annual income of more than 30 billion dollars and most of the income is generated from exporting oil however it's shocking that the net worth of this 76 year old Brunei Queen is less than one million dollars and this is because the queen is less interested in finances and more in the management of Royal Affairs and charity but this little net worth of the queen doesn't show the real picture of the luxury of this queen as she lives in one of the biggest Royal palaces called the istana narul Iman which is worth more than 2.5 billion dollars next we have a queen who is known as the dragon queen of Bhutan and this queen is jetsun Pama from the Royal House of Wang chuk jetsun Puma was born on June 4th 1990 to Father Don dupe gyalchin who was a commoner however she became the queen of the nation in 2011 when she married King Jing kezer namjol wangchuk the fifth and current king of Bhutan her husband and the king of Bhutan hold more than 90 percent of the wealth in the royal family and as a queen the net worth of her Royal Highness is around 1 million dollars and all of her income comes from the bhutanese government in the form of funds which are paid yearly to cover the expenses such as travel staff salaries and other costs associated with the Queen's official duties and engagements but being coming from a royal family the net worth of the queen sounds two less however this was not the case as her century-year-old house the house of wangchuk was known and past for its Royal lifestyle and enormous wealth but with the modernization of the economy and Constitution the monarchy lost its influence and wealth in the nation however still this 32 year old Queen lives a lavish and respectable life with her royal family in a Grand Royal Palace called lingkana Palace coming up next we have a royal who comes from the 2nd Century old house called the house to Utica and this queen is Matilda the utica's of Belgium born on January 20th 1973 in ukla a Municipality of Brussels Queen Matilda comes from a wealthy Belgian Noble family and holds a degree in speech therapy from the Catholic University of leuvane she became part of Belgium's royal family at the age of 26 when she married the Crown Prince Felipe in 1999. however she became the queen consort of the nation in 2013 when her husband the Crown Prince ascended to the throne now this 50 year old Queen belongs to a royal family which not only has a rich history but is also Rich financially where its members have access to some of the great Royal assets millions of worth of art Collections and palaces like the Royal Palace of Brussels you may be surprised to learn that the net worth of the queen is one million dollars or less the Queen's net worth is lower because the king handles most of her financial matters as she prefers to focus on being active and charitable and Welfare causes for society however like other Royals she has no other source of income except receiving a fund from the government of Belgium foreign we have an empress of Japan masako Auda she was born on December 9th in 1963 in Tokyo Japan to parents who were both diplomats however she became part of the royal family in 1993 when she married the Crown Prince of Japan narohito at the age of 30. and 26 years later in 2019 she became the empress when her husband ascended to the Japanese throne the net worth of this Japanese Empress is around 900 000 to 1 million dollars and all of her income comes from the government of Japan as an annual allowance to cover the empress's expenses related to her official duties and activities such as travel clothing and other expenses related to representing the Imperial family but this annual stipend of the empress is still considered less but it was not so in the past as the Imperial house was one of the wealthiest houses in the world which means its members used to lead a luxurious and Royal life and this reduction of Royal members wealth is a direct result of turning Japan into a constitutional monarchy which happened in the year 1947. despite having access to limited funds Empress massaco of Japan is known for her philanthropic work and for donating thousands of dollars to charity foreign X Queen we moved from Japan all the way to the Pacific Ocean to a group of friendly islands called Tonga and the queen of this small nation is Queen nanasipawu tukuau from the Royal House of tupo she was born on June 18 1954 in Tonga in an affluent family where her father the late Baron Vega was a former prime minister of the nation however nanasi Powell became the queen consort of Tonga in 2012 when she married the king of the nation tupo VI now coming to her income the net worth of the queen is eight hundred thousand to one million dollars and she receives this as a salary to cover her expenses and there are multiple reasons why the income of the queen is so low one reason being Tonga itself Tonga is a small nation that has a GPD of around 0.15 billion dollars or 510 million dollars and because of its low economical ability the wealth of the monarchy is restricted as compared to the other monarchies of the world however being a queen of Tonga which is a constitutional monarchy this 69 year old queen holds both political and economic power in the nation but above all she is well respected and uses her position to support several charitable causes including supporting initiatives to improve the health and well-being of tonga's people at number three we have another queen who comes from a small Southern African nation called eswatini and it is Queen and fambi of eswatini from the Royal House of delamini Queen unfambi was born in the 1950s in the labombo region of iswatini formerly known as Swaziland however unlike other queens this queen of Africa attained the status of Queen when her husband soapuza II died in 1982 after the passing of sabuza II a power vacuum emerged and nevucha did El zayu stepped in as the queen regent to govern the nation however after her son mazwati III was crowned as king of the nation she was declared Queen Mother of the nation but despite being from a small royal family the queen leads quite a luxurious life where she has access to millions of dollars worth of Royal Property and vast land but the net worth of the queen is not more than fifty thousand dollars and the reason for the Queen's less income traces back to multiple reasons even though the royal family controls everything in the nation it is still a poor nation of only 1.2 million population with 3978.40 GPD per capita income another reason for her last income is because more than 90 percent of the Royal Family's income is controlled by her son King mazwadi III who has a net worth of more than 75 million dollars now let's move on to Asia to meet our next Queen and this is Queen Aziza Amina mamina iskandaria From The Royal House of bhandahara born on August 6 1971 in Kuala Lumpur Queen Aziza Amina mamana iskanteria was previously known as tenku ascantaria this queen of Malaysia is the daughter of the late Sultan escandar of Jahar and the sister of the current Sultan of Jahar but coming from the royal family herself she married Abdullah of pahang in 1986 and in 2019 she ascended to the throne as the queen of the nation following the succession of Abdullah who became the Sultan of the nation in terms of her income the net worth of this Malay Queen is estimated to be around fifty thousand dollars these allowances and privileges are funded by the government and are intended to support the activities of the royal family however most of this fun goes to the king though she comes from a royal family that still holds some Financial power in the nation the Queen's finances are kept in check at number one we have Queen Sylvia naginda a respected Royal figure hailing from Uganda which is a small country located in East Africa and she is the current Queen of buganda a kingdom within Uganda she was born in England in 1962 in a royal family where her father was John mulumba luswara of nakumba and at an early age she returned to Uganda to be raised by her grandparents of the omusu clan in Uganda but it was August 27 1999 when she married the current king of buganda moinda muteby II of buganda the net worth of the queen is about thirty thousand to fifty thousand dollars which is expected to reduce further in the coming years due to instability in the nation and this reduced net wealth is directly related to losing power of royalty and poor financial situation in Uganda but unlike other queens only a small portion of her income comes from the Ugandan government in the form of a stipend for performing their Royal duties however she has significant land Holdings and other Assets in the country which is the prime source of her income that not only supports her but also funds various projects run by her as the queen of buganda with the limited financial support she still plays an important role in promoting the cultural heritage of the kingdom and supporting initiatives aimed at improving the lives of the people of Uganda thanks for watching the video comment down below your favorite part and let us know also press the Subscribe
