Meghan Markle has had a remarkable year, with the debut of her Netflix series, the launch of her lifestyle brand, and a new podcast project on the horizon.
The Duchess of Sussex is clearly not slowing down as she continues to grow her reported joint net worth of £46.5 million with husband Prince Harry. With her expanding portfolio, many are wondering just how close Meghan is to entering the billionaire ranks.
Prince Harry received an estimated £8 million from the estate of his mother, Princess Diana, which helped the couple maintain their lifestyle after stepping back from royal duties in 2020.
Inside Meghan and Harry’s luxurious home
The pair reside in an impressive Montecito mansion worth over £23 million. The property boasts 16 bedrooms, rose gardens, a swimming pool, and a tennis court.
Meghan previously reflected on purchasing the house shortly after relocating to the U.S., telling The Cut that owning it once felt out of reach.
“We didn’t have jobs, so we just were not going to come and see this house,” she recalled. “It wasn’t possible. It’s like when I was younger and you’re window shopping – it’s like, I don’t want to go and look at all the things that I can’t afford. That doesn’t feel good.”
Meghan’s expanding media empire
The couple’s five-year Netflix deal, signed in 2021 and valued at around £80 million, gave a major boost to their financial standing. Through the platform, they released Harry & Meghan, a documentary chronicling their relationship and departure from the royal family.
Netflix also produced With Love, Meghan, a series where the Duchess invited celebrity guests to join her in cooking, crafting, and decorating. A second season has already been filmed, marking a notable win for the former Suits star.
In the podcasting space, Meghan and Harry launched Archetypes through a £15.5 million deal with Spotify, welcoming guests like Serena Williams and Mariah Carey. However, the partnership ended in 2023.
The couple released a joint statement saying they had “mutually agreed to part ways [with Spotify] and are proud of the series we made together.”
Meghan has since moved on to a new collaboration with Lemonada Media. Her upcoming show, Confessions of a Female Founder, debuts on April 8.
Though the financial details remain undisclosed, the 43-year-old Duchess will engage with successful founders in each episode.
According to the show’s synopsis, it will let listeners “be a fly on the wall and hear the unfiltered stories behind the successes of notable female founders, while also sneaking a peek behind the curtain of Meghan’s own entrepreneurial journey launching As Ever.”
The podcast will also explore how “small ideas” can evolve into billion-pound businesses. Meghan’s lifestyle brand, As Ever, is expected to significantly contribute to her growing wealth.
Branching into new ventures
In February, she rebranded her American Riviera Orchard label as As Ever, describing it as “an extension of what has always been my love language, beautifully weaving together everything I cherish – food, gardening, entertaining, thoughtful living, and finding joy in the everyday.”
The brand’s offerings include items like fruit preserves, tea blends, and mixes for crepes and shortbread.
Meghan also introduced a ShopMy page, an affiliate platform where she features her preferred fashion and beauty items. “A handpicked and curated collection of the things I love – I hope you enjoy them!” she wrote on the page.
Among the curated products, from which she earns commission, are a £1,100 cashmere crewneck, a £1,044 dress, and a gold necklace priced at £387.
With her multiple ventures – including Netflix projects, a new podcast, and a growing lifestyle label – Meghan’s net worth is set to surpass £46.5 million in 2025.
