12. The wealthy Middletons.
Yes, the Middletons have done very very very well for themselves, but it’s always nice when you’ve had a little head start in life (money wise).
Kate’s come from a long line of successful people…
Our parents, grandparents and even great-grandparents have worked hard all of their lives to ensure we have a financially safe future, some of us are lucky enough to inherit a nice wad of cash. Kate Middleton was one of those people.

It turns out her father was related to a wealthy Yorkshire wool merchant, Francis Martineau Lupton, who left his estate amounting to £70,000 back in 1921 – which is now worth £2 million.
Francis Martineau Lupton…
When Lupton died, he was very specific about the fact the money he left was to be used for the education of his descendants – cue Michael Middleton.

Aside from this inheritance, he’s received other inheritances from his mother, Valerie’s estate and his father, Peter.
Kate and her siblings all grew up in a very upper-middle class family…
So it turns out that Kate and her parents come from a long line of very successful business people.
