This is how much the British Royal family earns; here's the number breakdown

Despite being dedicated to public service, the British royal family gets their money from a variety of sources. One important source that is supported by tax dollars is the Sovereign Grant. The Sovereign Grant was £86.3 million, or about $113 million, for the years 2021–2022 and 2022–2023. The Crown Estate, which is in charge of overseeing substantial holdings of land and property, provides the funding for this grant. But the majority of this money is used to fund staff salaries, upkeep of the royal homes, and planning of more than 2,500 events per year. The estimated £369 million, or around $483 million, refurbishment project for Buckingham Palace, which is scheduled to be finished by 2027, is another significant investment, as per the reports of Yahoo entertainment.
