      “King Charles’ personal fortune has seen a significant boost, rising by £30 million to £640 million in the past year – an increase of 2000 per cent.”

      I have a question

      >King Charles’ personal fortune has seen a significant boost, rising by £30 million to £640 million in the past year – an increase of 2000 per cent.

      Did they change maths while I was asleep?!

      What moron wrote and what moron approved this “”King Charles’ personal fortune has seen a significant boost, rising by £30 million to £640 million in the past year – an increase of 2000 per cent.”

      Can anyone explain how this is not 5%?

      How have they possibly got 2000%. And if it’s plainly wrong how is it still up

    6. UrbanRedFox on

      640/30 is roughly 20x or 2000% but someone’s going back to school for this basic error

      As many people have said, the maths in this article is obviously questionable.

      I suspect they meant that “his personal wealth grew FROM £30million to £640million”, which is approximately 2000%

      I’m not gonna do a math check, I’m only here to hate! No questions asked!

      The real question is why was Rishi Sunak wealthier than the literal king of the united kingdom

    13. churdburg on

      Can more people post about how the maths might be wrong? Don’t think anyone covered it yet thanks x

      How embarrassing. They seem to have done the calculations for a rise FROM 30 million to 640 million, rather than the BY 30 million to 640 million that they are reporting.

      30 million increased by 2000% gets you 630 million , so rounding to get nice memorable round numbers it works.

      This is nice for King Charles, he didn’t have enough money. And with the economy growing by 0.7% in Q1 and an increase in GDP, hopefully the capitalist are feeling a bit better. The everyday person may actually enjoy an adaptation of communism more with goals suited to their needs, rather than just profit maximisation as the main goal.

      Who would have thought that having your parent die and leave you money would make you substantially richer when she was the monarch

      Imagine telling someone from the 1800s that we had an prime minister with Indian heritage that was richer than the king

      There are far too many super rich people in this world and far too many people struggling to eat.
      There will be a revolution soon.
      The people will revolt.

      Even if you earned £100,000 a year tax free from the day Jesus was born you’d still only have £202m

      It is absolutely mental that billionaires exist. The majority of the country are working 45 years to probably make £2.25m max, so why not have a wealth tax that’s 10x that amount.

      The “higher rate” tax bracket is 40% and it’s less than double the minimum wage

      Queen Elizabeth was mentioned in the Paradise papers and NOTHING happened.

    25. SlaveToNoTrend on

      He’s worth way more than that, all smoke and mirrors with the royals.

    26. Radiant_Pudding5133 on

      The most alarming part of this for me is that he’s only now just a rich as someone whose job was to allegedly represent the common man

      >rising by £30 million to £640 million in the past year – an increase of 2000 per cent.

      Thats a 5% increase

    28. discostu418 on

      Man made insanely rich by an accident of birth makes British tax payer gives him even more money to become even more rich

      In other news Britons becoming more poorer

    29. Own-Psychology-5327 on

      Shocker, the king is ridiculously rich. His whole existence is the epitome of insane privilege.

    30. Blank3k on

      Maths never was my strong point but I make that out be nearer to a 5% increase.

      ….Basically a savings account with a typical interest rate ?

    31. Artabasdos on

      Useless sponges. We give these scroungers a £100 million a year, yet they have massive earnings they don’t have to declare or pay tax on. Just end the monarchy. They’re pointless today.

    32. dave_po on

      Maybe he can afford to pay inheritance tax then? Was exempt when Queen passed away

    33. TellerCreations on

      I’m pretty sure the French invented a thing to sort this problem out

    34. clodiusmetellus on

      Most people here are talking about the maths mistake, and I get it. It’s a *bad* one.

      But people make mistakes all the time. The real issue is that this presumably went through multiple people who work in *journalism* and no one stopped to ask “wait, does it make sense that a king who’s been in post for a few years suddenly had his wealth increase by 2000% with no explanation inside a random year”?

      If they really believed this was real it would be the scoop of the century and probably expose insane corruption of the like the royal family hasn’t seen in centuries.

      Most people who get an insane number out of their calculator realise this because it *makes no fucking sense.* And they go back to check the number.

      They don’t send out that number to the public! Christ.

      I’m just very happy that he didn’t have to pay inheritance tax given how poorly he is doing.

    37. Early_Retirement_007 on

      He’s worked really hard for that. No wonder he’s always grinning the bastard.
