It was Queen Elizabeth’s 90th birthday yesterday. Think that number is incredible? How about this: according to a recent report, the value of the British monarchy stands at around $84 billion. Better yet, through areas like tourism and business, it’s estimated that the royal family contributed more than a billion pounds to the British economy. Here’s more:
- The report didn’t just account for royal family income sources, such as the surplus generated by the Crown Estate, uplift to tourism and the fees that go along with brands that use royal warrants. It deducted expenses as well, such as palace maintenance, security and the queen’s public income.
- Both tangible and intangible assets were included in the 58.4 billion pound valuation. Tangible assets (21 billion pounds) included the Crown estate, the Royal Collection treasure trove and many other private estates. Intangible assets (37.4 billion pounds) mostly included the monarchy’s long-term contribution to the economy.
- As is often the case with monarchy, not everyone is a fan. The campaign group Republic calculated that each royal family member costs the British taxpayers an average of 18.5 million pounds, making them the most expensive public officials in the country.

It Was A Worthy Project
8 Interesting Facts About Restoring the Original DeLorean Time Machine
The team had to pull apart every piece of the car to restore it.
The team had to pull apart every piece of the car to restore it.
- Every piece of the car, including the stock DeLorean parts and parts specific to the time machine, were taken off. They even removed the wheels, leaving just a basic frame to work from at one point. After photographing and cataloging each part, project leader Joe Walser and his team began putting together the pieces.
- The goal was to make it look like Doc Brown created the car in his garage, a look the original pulled off quite well. Although the exposed wires are kept intact for the renovated model, they have no function other than aesthetics. “It reflects the character of the guy who invented it, Doc Brown,” Gale said during a panel discussion at the Petersen museum. “You’re in a hurry to find out if [the car] works. So the wires are all exposed. Doc didn’t have time to put a housing on it. This thing looks like it could explode, and that’s one of the things that makes it cool.” He recalls Michael J. Fox saying about the original: “I get to drive this?”
