Still going strong
Of course, like many members of the British Royal Family who married into their status (as opposed to inheriting their royalty by their birth), Kate Middleton was not exactly a pauper when she wed. Although she does not come from a family with centuries of land and titles under their belts, her lineage has had ties to the British aristocracy for many years through various business and personal relationships. However, their main wealth was not inherited and instead resulted from a business launched while Kate was a young child.

In spite of their familial ties to British nobility, Kate’s parents are self-made millionaires. Carole and Michael Middleton formed their own party supply business back in 1987, called Party Pieces. According to KnownNetWorth.com, that same business has grown to be worth more than $40 million, with Carole and Michael having a combined net worth of over $67 million. Their business is still going strong and is projected to only grow in value in the coming years.
