看看媒体说梅根和哈利的经济情况,就理解为啥要出书了。哈利其实就是跟着梅根入行

毕竟哈利自己沒干过皇室以外的工作,梅根带他入自己的老本行(炒作、拍戏、访谈、做节目、传媒。。。)是唯一可行的,其它的行业梅根自己也不懂不会了。

 

Meghan Markle’s Net Worth

Amid multiple controversies, Markle has maintained a net worth of $60 million between herself and her husband, Prince Harry, according to Celebrity Net Worth. Although her marriage to the prince gave her the titles of Duchess of Sussex, Countess of Dumbarton and Baroness Kilkeel, Markle came into the marriage with her own money and career — and a net worth of $2 million when they walked down the aisle. The couple, who separated from the royal family in early 2020, gave away their rights to the money Harry received through his royal lineage.

In March 2020, Prince Harry told Oprah Winfrey that he and Markle had been cut off financially from the royal family and were relying on a reported $13 million trust Prince Harry inherited from the estate of Princess Diana. Since then, however, the couple has amassed incredible wealth of their own.

After leaving the royal family and moving to Markle’s home state of California, they signed a five-year, $100 million production deal with Netflix to produce feature films, children’s programming and documentaries, Celebrity Net Worth reported. They also signed a deal with Spotify for $18 million to expand their creative endeavors into podcast production and hosting. While contract terms were not announced, the deal could be worth as much as $35 million, one industry expert told Newsweek.

 

Book Contracts

In June, Markle’s first book, “The Bench,” was released, and it wound up as a New York Times bestseller. British media reported she could have received an advance of as much as $700,000 for the book, which is a story about fathers and sons.

Publisher Penguin Random House announced in July 2021 that it had purchased the rights to Price Harry’s “literary memoir” and that it was tentatively scheduled for a late 2022 publication. The company did not confirm reports in the British press that the deal is for four books, one of which will be a “wellness guide” penned by Markle. The Daily Mail reported the book contract could be worth as much as $40 million.

Career Before Meeting Prince Harry

Markle grew up in Hollywood, where her mother was a yoga instructor and her father was an Emmy-winning lighting director. Markle attended private schools and graduated from Northwestern University with degrees in theater and international studies. She went on to pursue a career as an actress, first appearing in small roles on “General Hospital,” “Century City,” “CSI: NY” and “Fringe” in the early 2000s. She earned extra income as a model, appearing for a brief stint on “Deal or No Deal.”

 

In July 2011, after a few movie appearances including the film “Horrible Bosses,” Markle joined the cast of “Suits,” reportedly earning $50,000 per episode, or an annual salary of $450,000, according to Celebrity Net Worth. Appearing on the TV show until 2017, she brought in a total of roughly $4 million.

While she was filming “Suits,” she also launched a lifestyle website The Tig and positioned herself as an influencer, eventually amassing three million Instagram followers, 800,000 Facebook followers and 350,000 Twitter followers, Celebrity Net Worth reported. The site estimates she brought in roughly $80,000 per year from the blog before taking down the site and archiving the materials in 2017.

 

Meghan Markle Real Estate

Using the money from their new media contracts in 2020, Meghan and Prince Harry purchased a $14.7 million Montecito, California estate, where they live with their two children. To purchase the property, they made a down payment of $5 million in cash and financed the rest with a $10 million mortgage, according to Celebrity Net Worth.

这是给Bench打广告吗? 亚马逊4.7个星, 这里没有皇室的黑料吧?没打种族牌吧?靠出书赚钱没有不光彩吧?

贴一个读者评论。

“The Bench” written by Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex is as sweet as it is heartfelt. A quietly profound poem of the love between a father and his son through the lens of a loving mother’s eyes brought to life by the magnificent illustrations of talented artist Christian Robinson. Their combined efforts form a wonderful literary landscape of affection and unadulterated acceptance much needed in the world today.

For those saying this book is not for kids? You would be correct. However you would also be foolish and shortsighted because it is clearly not written to be one. Rather it is meant to be a joint experience, something to be read with your child/children on your lap and be a catalyst for a conversation about family, acceptance, love, and the many different forms such bonds between a father and son can take. It is a foundational life lesson to aid in illustrating what kindness is, what real love looks like, and the many ways a father feels about his son presented in tiny literary nuggets any child can absorb and appreciate in their own unique way. It is far more than a “kid’s book”, it is a conversational love language that introduces concepts such as inclusiveness, equity, and diversity. And I found it just plain beautiful.

俩人当然得联手一起打拼,梅哈俩都是成年人,在决定离开皇室前首先考虑的肯定是经济来源问题

俩人肯定是决定了一块儿打拼谋生才宣布离开皇室的,对哈确实是个考验,从来没有自己出来觅食过。

没打任何牌,自由世界谁都可以出书,有人买就行。合法劳动所得。

这篇文章和我知道的梅根差不多, 她结婚时身价2个米。结婚后靠爆皇家料就开始发家致富了

当然, harry拿着妈妈的遗产, 也是一笔不错的财富

自力更生要称赞

如果他们聪明能守住底线,知道什么是双赢,钱是大大的。上次说王室种族歧视那个太过线了。

那是下三烂手法,好不好。我们找工,还得签不爆公司技术的文件

就单纯自力更生的想法,要称赞。但是手段和具体操作,我很鄙视

记得我侄子一次和父母争执,来要我帮忙。“我就想要一个想走就走的旅行,我那错了?”

我问,你是学生,你去旅行是不是和父母讨钱?

他:当然!

我:(一下子气炸!)那当然是你的错。你那么的理直气壮,是我,有钱也不给你。你可以和父母商量才是可行的办法。

我还遇到邻居家孩子跟我要钱,她说她要去巴黎

她如何说?你如何做?

算个20米吧,过个非常非常普通的生活一辈子勉强可以(俩娃还很小啊),

但这俩人对生活质量肯定是有要求的,肯定也不太会用钱生钱的本事,20米不够用,当然就是一起干梅根老本行赚钱比较行得通一点

人家只会这个呀。You can only do what you can do.

如果你侄儿出书讲“我的父亲母亲”赚了钱,用这钱说走就走没问题呀

他们自己主动脱离王室,又抱怨它孩子没有title

他们没有脱离皇室, 是解除了劳动合同。 两者是不同的

不尽责任肯定就没有权利和利益,他们有些行为过了底线的,想要挽回要很长时间。

我们可以观察王室在处理这件事情上的策略。查尔斯国王比较愣,卡米拉比较有谋略,抛开她3不说,卡米拉这人挺酷的。

整个西方世界发展到现在,其中一块最重要的基石就是契约精神。

卡米拉是无欲而刚,因此比较大度。是个聪明人。

他们希望的是留薪停职吗?

我也很喜欢这个想法。停职可以,薪水照拿,再好不过。

你并没有真正看他们的书或者interview吧?他们并没有爆料什么隐私,只是讲跟自己有关的事情。
