Queen Elizabeth worth £17.6 Trillion

**newspresenter** · 19-12-2009 01:57 AM

Queen Elizabeth II, head of state of the United Kingdom and of 31 other states and territories, is the legal owner of about 6,600 million acres of land, one sixth of the earth’s non ocean surface.

She is the only person on earth who owns whole countries, and who owns countries that are not her own domestic territory. This land ownership is separate from her role as head of state and is different from other monarchies where no such claim is made – Norway, Belgium, Denmark etc.

The value of her land holding. £17,600,000,000,000 (approx).

This makes her the richest individual on earth. However, there is no way easily to value her real estate. There is no current market in the land of entire countries. At a rough estimate of $5,000 an acre, and based on the sale of Alaska to the USA by the Tsar, and of Louisiana to the USA by France, the Queen’s land holding is worth a notional $33,000,000,000,000 (Thirty three trillion dollars or about £17,600,000,000,000). Her holding is based on the laws of the countries she owns and her land title is valid in all the countries she owns. Her main holdings are Canada, the 2nd largest country on earth, with 2,467 million acres, Australia, the 7th largest country on earth with 1,900 million acres, the Papua New Guinea with114 million acres, New Zealand with 66 million acres and the UK with 60 million acres.

She is the world’s largest landowner by a significant margin. The next largest landowner is the Russian state, with an overall ownership of 4,219 million acres, and a direct ownership comparable with the Queen’s land holding of 2,447 million acres. The 3rd largest landowner is the Chinese state, which claims all of Chinese land, about 2,365 million acres. The 4th largest landowner on earth is the Federal Government of the United States, which owns about one third of the land of the USA, 760 million acres. The fifth largest landowner on earth is the King of Saudi Arabia with 553 million acres

Largest five personal landowners on Earth
Queen Elizabeth II 6,600 million acres
King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia 553 million acres
King Bhumibol of Thailand 126 million acres
King Mohammed IV of Morocco 113 million acres
Sultan Quaboos of Oman 76 million acres
Who Owns the World Largest Landowner

To put £17.6 Trillion into context, 1000 million = 1 billion, and 1000 billion = 1 trillion. Sickening hey.

why is it sickening? To say that makes one look chippy.

a) it does not affect my life in any way on a day-to-day basis.
b) I consider it GB plc and the Queen has dedicated her life to that plc and is a job, which she does extraordinarily well, that I would not want at all
c) the sticking point here seems to be that people think she gets too many state hand outs. She makes more money for the country than she receives.
d) saying she owns 6.6 million acres is ridiculous and therefore so it the £17.6tr

The Queen has been a great servant to the country, is dignified and I am all for her. Long may she live (so that she can keep her idiotic son off the throne).

Sickening because the English should have their own piece of England but the Monarch make money off it all instead.

a, you fund what you should own.
b, you would, you'd rather be a slave to the system than have more control over it. A great job, fascism, legal theft. She would do well, she uses our money to keep her in the 'job'.
c, concreate evidence of that?
d, in what way ridiculous?

The Queen is part of a cartel of theives, she should be locked up.

well said, although I disagree with the bit about prince Charles.

Who would she sell it to ?

I know he's American but the sentiment is the same

Concrete evidence of my point (c)? Just look at the Crown Estates books.

LOL. I am becoming more of a Republican these days but that is because I am not sure that I am a fan of Chuck.

What nonsense! The Queen does not 'own' Canada or Australia, or any of the other countries mentioned in that article, she is just their queen. She doesn't even own the Crown Jewels FGS.

Indeed, the jewels are not her personal possesions, they are essentially trappings of state for the monarch to use.

As for the other countries they are democratic nation states who choose as we do to have the Queen as their head of state, they could get rid of her quite easily if they wanted to.
