      “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.”

    5. 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

    7. Agile-Day-2103 on

      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%

    8. untruth-social-6666 on

      When did Sunak and Wife become a benchmark for wealth?

    9. Entire-Cow-1641 on

      Thank God for the Royal family…where would we be without them??

    10. adobaloba on

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

    11. misterterrific0 on

      I’m sure he earned all it himself through hard graft

    12. Elmarcoz on

      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

    14. ItsSuperDefective on

      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 

    17. Kaoswarr on

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

    18. badgersruse on

      AI can’t do maths, and AI shouldn’t be used without supervision.

    19. Snadadap on

      I’m just surprised Charles’ personal fortune was “only” £30m

    20. JoeThrilling on

      Thank god, I was worried for him after they took away the WFA.

    21. TL:DR – It grew by 4.9% the person who wrote the article is a moron.

    22. chrisl182 on

      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.

    23. SaltSatisfaction2124 on

      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

    24. stalin_kulak on

      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. 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. Weird-Statistician on

      Sunak and husband would be more accurate. She’s the rich one.

    33. Scratch_Careful on

      2000% because they cant do maths. Tell me again how the Indy isnt just the sun for ~~reddit~~, lower middle class liberals.

    34. przhauukwnbh on

      The bar for reporting for the independent is beneath the floor

    35. Maylor90 on

      “You stupid.”
      “NoImNot.”
      “What’s 9+10?”
      “2000%?”
      “You stupid.”

      Quick Maths.

      > “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.”

      Mathematics is clearly an optional extra at the Guardian

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

    38. feministgeek on

      Then why the fuck are we paying £72 million for his “I got a job” party?

      *The King’s coronation in May 2023 cost UK taxpayers £72 million. This figure includes £50.3 million from the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) and £21.7 million for policing by the Home Office. The event was described as a “once-in-a-generation” moment by the DCMS.*

      More misleading ragebait from a newspaper owned by a Russian oligarch. 

      But The Independent purports to be left-wing so this sub is happy to be misled by literal Russian propaganda. 

    40. Artie_Dolittle_ on

      phew, i was worried poor charles was low on funds this year

    41. TellerCreations on

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