[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Okay that may not be precisely true. Somehow the Queen Mother amassed a $40 million personal fortune. Obviously she was given some money upon her husband’s death, and her father was a minor wealthy lord so she split a small inheritance with her nine siblings (the heir getting the biggest cut). Who knows where the rest came from.

[i]In 1994 the Queen Mother placed two-thirds of her money fortune - an estimated £19m - into a trust fund for her great grandchildren, a gamble, at the age of 94, that she would live for another seven years and so avoid paying 40%. That hurdle was cleared last year.[/i]

Some of that fortune may have been in the form of jewelry. There’s at least one tiara that the Queen has that she inherited from her mother, there was likely lots more that was her personal property. [/quote]

Yep the article mentions a painting that the QM bought for $4K during the wars and eventually sold for over $15M. [/quote]
