P6: Prince Harry & Meghan could make as much as $10 million from their Oz trip

The Duchess of Sussex’s OneOff account is soooo good. There are fashion IDs for everything Meghan wears really quickly, and there are behind-the-scenes photos on there too. She’s truly a style influencer, so why not give us fit checks for her OneOff account? It’s great because she’s profiting from it in two ways – she’s getting a commission from people buying her recommendations, and she invested in OneOff. Not only that, but she’s also giving a global platform to so many Australian designers this week and they are THRILLED. Aussie fashion designers and jewelry designers keep talking about what it means to them personally and professionally to see Meghan in their pieces.

Since we’re talking about money, investment and global platforms, it’s time to discuss this odd exclusive in Page Six. They spoke to a “wealth manager” about how much money Harry and Meghan *could* be making from this Oz trip. I have some thoughts.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could bring in a whopping $10 million by speaking at events and making brand deals during their tour in Australia.

“Meghan and Harry could make money from audience aggregation, premium access, brand leverage,” Ted Jenkin, Managing Partner of Exit Wealth Advisors, exclusively told Page Six.

“All totaled, this tour could fetch $10 million or more for Meghan and Harry,” Jenkin believes. “Anytime these two get in the public eye, it usually follows with a flowing cash register.”

Jenkin broke down that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex could earn $2 million from speaking engagements and appearances, $3.5 million from sponsorships and brand deals and $4.5 million from media and content value.

For these figures, his sources are “trust me, bro” and “his ass.” Granted, I think it was a smart and lucrative move for Meghan to debut her OneOff account and investment during this trip. I will be very interested in hearing about the customers she drove to many of those brands. And yes, Meghan and Harry are receiving speaking fees, but I don’t think those fees were seven figures (six figures, sure). But beyond that…what? What sponsorships and brand deals? I WISH. I wish they had sponsorships and they were doing, like, appearances for Lacoste or Olay or whatever. I’ve wanted them to get into the brand-ambassador game for years. The $4.5 million in “media and content value” is so weird… they’re getting tons of free media, of course, much more than $4.5 million worth of media. But how is that quantified? They’re not giving paid exclusives to certain media outlets, if that’s what’s being suggested.

    More attempts to muddy the waters and make the Sussexes look “greedy.” The sources were certainly this dude’s rear end.

  2. Hypocrisy says:

    The entire article is based on the word “could”.. they are clueless so let’s make up huge numbers 🙄.. I hope they got paid but it’s not anyone’s business if they did or not just like how much they were paid is no one’s business.

    These people are so gauche. The royals, their pet press, and the firm are obsessed with the Sussexes money.

    • Mairzy Doats says:

      With the money obsession, I think the problem is that only the monarch and heir are allowed to accumulate any appreciable wealth while other family members are allowed only to the limited extent of being less of a burden on family finances — the royal version of earning pocket change with a little monarch-approved project. But now we have Harry AND his wife wealthier now than had they remained as working royals — with nary a shady real estate deal or shopping bag full of cash in sight. It’s all legit. They’re doing just fine and the royals and press are having fits about it.

  4. Eurydice says:

    Sure, they could have made eleventy billion dollars, too.

  5. jais says:

    I don’t know how any of it is quantified but I’m sure there’s some sort of metric or algorithm that could. How accurate it would be idk? At the end of the day, they’re leaving a good impression and the media is fully covering it, which will help in the way of sponsorships for the IG and and potential customers for asever.

    • Mairzy Doats says:

      Spot on about expanding their reach with good impressions, and I also think that H&M are savvy to know that they never want to price themselves out of those arenas they want to engage with. I doubt they look at it as, Oh goody, we can triple our speaking fees now.

    About Meghan’s OneOff, I may be wrong but that Meghan style site sounded very salty about it (fear of losing money ? Lol)
    So glad Meghan is able to capitalize on her style and the australian trip is a massive success ! Yeah !!

  7. QuiteContrary says:

    Well, I wouldn’t take any advice from Exit Wealth Advisors.

    Also, who names a wealth management company “Exit Wealth” lol???

    Yeah this man doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
