The Luxurious Montecito Mansion
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's £12million Montecito mansion boasts nine bedrooms, 16 bathrooms, a spa, gym, game room, wine cellar, and more. The sprawling estate sits on 5.4 acres in California and includes a tennis court, pool, and even a chicken coop named "Archie's Chick Inn."
The 'Boutique Hotel' Lifestyle
Despite the grandeur, managing a mansion of this scale requires a high-operating cost and a large staff. With 10-15 full-time employees needed for upkeep, including housekeepers, chefs, and security, the costs can easily amount to hundreds of thousands per year. The grounds, from the pool to the tennis court, also demand professional maintenance akin to running a small boutique hotel.
Financial Backing
Prince Harry, with an estimated net worth of £48million, has secured various ventures post-royal life. Meghan, previously worth £3.5million, is set to launch her lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard. Both have financial backing from inheritances and lucrative deals post-stepping back as working royals.
Meghan's Hustles
Before marrying Harry, Meghan earned through her role in 'Suits' and is now venturing into her lifestyle brand. With their financial backgrounds and ongoing projects, the couple navigates the challenges of maintaining their dream home while embracing new opportunities.
