11. $5.6 million to maintain the royal property

Buckingham Palace has 775 rooms and 78 bathrooms, so it takes a lot of work at maintaining the whole place, from changing the light bulbs to dusting the furniture. Don’t even get us started on the pristine lawn of the royal property.

A duster, a butler, security, engineers, housekeepers and so on. With many needs when it comes to maintaining Buckingham Palace, come many people that are part of the Queen’s staff.

The renovation of Buckingham Palace wasn’t taken lightly. Many saw it as misuse of the taxpayers’ dollars since it was a lot of money.

Spending money is easy, but let’s see how the Queen invests it. In November 2017, Queen’s investments in the offshore havens of Bermuda and the Cayman Islands were leaked. These areas have a lower tax liability, so investing there is lucrative. Most of the Britains weren’t happy about this, questioning the legitimacy of the whole investments, but the public was assured that the Queen has done nothing wrong.
