https://www.news.com.au/entertainment/c ... 1782edecf9................ Meghan Markle and Prince Harry certainly aren’t struggling to make ends meet, according to figures released by The Sun.
It emerged this week that the couple have landed a $53 million deal with Spotify for their own podcast – branded a “woke word salad” by listeners.............................
.......................... It comes on the back of a $198 million Netflix deal – which led to Meghan being labelled the “new Kim Kardashian” – and a string of lucrative speaking events.
So far, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are predicted to have netted up to $407 million in their new life..................
.................... SPEAKING EVENTS
Reported worth: Up to $1.3 million per speech
Harry and Meghan could be making millions from simply speaking at events – that is, if their strict list of demands doesn’t get in the way. ................
............ Duchess is said to have sparked anger from the palace after she allegedly enlisted close pal Oprah Winfrey to help flog a coffee investment via an Instagram post.
Meghan – who invited Oprah to her and Harry’s wedding – has ploughed cash into the instant oat-milk latte start-up Clevr Blends, which sells packets for $37 each.
And experts suggest she could use her status and famous friends like Oprah, who has 19.2m followers – to net millions from the business. ..........
......... Their money-making options could include:
A BOOK DEAL:
Potential earnings: At least $84 million
Barack and Michelle Obama’s reported $84 million joint book deal in 2017 smashed the record for presidential memoirs.
But experts say Meghan and Harry could secure a deal worth even MORE than this to tell their “unfiltered” side of the “royal crisis”.
Though the couple have yet to reveal any plans to release memoirs, Meghan is a keen writer, having previously guest-edited British Vogue.
SPONSORED INSTAGRAM POSTS
Potential earnings: $143 million
Like countless other celebs, the Duke and Duchess could turn to Instagram if they ever find themselves rummaging for cash.
The couple could earn $150, 000 for just one sponsored post to their more than 10 million followers, according to the influencer marketing agency Inzpire.me. .........
I don't get it.
Who pays for all this ?
