Many young (and not so young) girls grow up dreaming about what it would be like to be a Princess. It is a common fantasy fueled by Disney, Diana, and more recently, Kate Middleton. The following six real life princesses are among the world's richest royals. They have wealth, fame, and if enough relatives ahead of them die, they could be Queen in many cases. In the meantime, these princesses don their tiaras and pretty gowns and attend state functions, give to charity, and life high profile lives that royal watchers are fascinated with. The newborn daughter of Prince William and Kate Middleton, Princess Charlotte, is fourth in line for the throne, but as she is just a handful of days old, we'll hold off on calculating the world's newest princess's net worth for now. Let's take a look at six of the richest princesses in the world.
