Longer than any monarch, Queen Elizabeth II has ruled. Elizabeth Windsor has amassed a collection of royal objects that, on their own, would be impressive. Accessories for Her Majesty also go beyond the odd Kate Spade purse. A large number of family holdings of the Queen date back to ancient times. Do you know that the Crown owns all the dolphins in the UK, or that Liz is the proud owner of every single swan on the Thames? There’s more, wait!

The Most Expensive Things Owned By The Queen Elizabeth II
The British Seabed
Owned Since: 1066
Valued At: Over $100 billion*
Just as Queen Elizabeth II owns a good portion of the United Kingdom’s coastline, she also owns the British Seabed. When the Norman Conquest first created the territory. The Queen owns the seabed, which means all of the mining rights are owned by her. Under the seabed, $60 billion of oil would certainly be worth exploring. These profits go along with the substantial profit from the offshore wind farm of Thanet off the Kent coast. Besides these valuable natural resources, there is one privately owned underwater territory.
