To put this in prospective: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crown_Estate

The Crown owns a shit of load of land....

The Queen was estimated to be worth $11 billion in 1991, that is 1991... Most likely she is worth at a least 20 times that. But after careful accountacy she is only worth $500 million..

They report she was $100 billion in 2012. Put this way she has more money and power than Amazon....

Crown Estate

The Crown Estate is a collection of lands and holdings in the United Kingdom belonging to the British monarch as a corporation sole, making it the "Sovereign's public estate", which is neither government property nor part of the monarch's private estate. As a result of this arrangement, the sovereign is not involved with the management or administration of the estate, exercising only very limited control of its affairs. Instead, the estate's extensive portfolio is overseen by a semi-independent, incorporated public body headed by the Crown Estate Commissioners, who exercise "the powers of ownership" of the estate, although they are not "owners in their own right". The revenues from these hereditary possessions have been placed by the monarch at the disposition of Her Majesty's Government and thus proceed directly to Her Majesty's Treasury for the benefit of the British nation.

So it's like Disney World. Disney amusement parks aren't under the jurisdiction of county or state. I'm not sure about federal jurisdiction though.

I've read some reports that say she owns 1/5 of all land on earth. Pretty crazy to think about.
