Chapter 637: The impoverished bullfighting royal family
I don't know why.
Taylor Swift had a good chat with the two little princesses, but Abel, the handsome man, was left aside.
But he wasn't bored either.
Looking at the figures of the two little luoli princesses, he had some thoughts.
Start using your phone to learn about the Bourbon family in the Bullfighting Kingdom.
It's okay if you don't understand.
As soon as he understood, he was speechless. He did not expect that the seemingly glorious royal nobles would live such a tight life.
It is said that the Bourbon family of the Bullfighting Kingdom and the Norwegian royal family have been competing for the title of "the poorest royal family in Europe" for many years.
In Abel's impression, even if the royal nobles have no rights now, they still live a glorious life. Because they are raised by the country and are the mascots of the country, how could they not live well?
No matter how bad it is, it should be the same level as the rich!
Just didn't expect it.
After checking, he felt that the royal family of the Bullfighting Kingdom and the two little princesses were living so pitiful.
The Bourbon family in the Bullfighting Kingdom is likely to be the poorest royal family in the world.
Why do you say so?
Let’s take a look at the salaries of the royal family.
The total salary of royal members after the increase in 2018 reached €679,818, and the total amount in 2017 was €668,952.
That is to say, the salary has increased, how much has it increased? More than 10,000 euros have increased, and it will be evenly shared by the whole family...
After the wage increase, King Felipe VI earned 242,769 euros.
Annual salary of 240,000 euros...
This may not be as good as a senior manager of a large company, because the amount of money has to be paid! After paying the tax, it is even less! Some people may say that the king's money is for nothing, and he can get an annual salary of 240,000 euros without working. It is already very good and very good.
but……
Although the power is very small, it is basically no different from the mascot. But the king also has to do a lot of work. After getting these wages, the king has to work, even if it is just a superficial meaning.
So, what does the work of the king of the Bullfighting Kingdom include?
1. Approve and promulgate laws.
2. Issuing government decrees passed by the cabinet.
3. Appoint members of the Prime Minister and Government, the Constitutional Court and the Supreme Court.
4. Grant civil and military positions and honorary titles.
5. Appoint the commander of the National Defense Forces.
6. Exercise the power of pardon.
7. Call for a referendum.
8. Recommend government leadership candidates.
9. Appoint ambassadors and other diplomatic representatives.
10. Some other functions.
Although all of the above work seems to be high-end, it cannot even be said to be a job, but a right.
But what about it?
These work, these seemingly fascinating rights, are not in the hands of His Majesty the King, but in the hands of the Parliament and the Prime Minister.
His Majesty the King is just a herald, a mascot, and a puppet performing on it. His role is probably similar to that of an actor, but his identity is more precious and there are more people who see the performance.
But poor Your Majesty, as an actor, the money he earns in a year is not even as much as a third-tier star in Hollywood.
Among the royal wages of more than 600,000 euros, except for His Majesty the King, Queen Leticia's income is 133,530 euros. According to regulations, the queen's income is 55% of the king, which is a rigid standard. Similarly, the abdicated former king Juan Carlos' income is 194,232 euros, which is 80% of his son.
This is also a rigid rule.
Former Queen Sofia's income is 109,260 euros, which is 45% of her son.
Although the royal family's income seems considerable, whether it is public activities or private life, the royal members we see are relatively frugal. This is not that they really want to be frugal, but that if they don't spend so much money, the salary of a year may not be enough!
Although the royal family does not have to pay for security, outings, official travel, and restoration of residence, all the expenses are covered by the government and parliament.
However, the royal family members' own food expenses, clothes, and various personal belongings are all for themselves. Even some private travel expenses are required to pay for them...
There are only so many people in a family, and only more than 600,000 euros a year. How can I spend it if I am not frugal?
Here we still need to mention the outfits of the royal members of the Bullfighting Kingdom. In many public activities, the queen wore a lot of affordable clothing, especially her favorite zara and mango, zara dresses, mango jackets, shirts, etc. The prices are mostly around 30-70 euros.
This price is really affordable for ordinary people in Europe. Although it is not cheap, it is probably the same as buying clothes for two or three hundred yuan in China. Even some female white-collar workers in China are buying LVs and Chanels... His Royal Highness of the Bullfighting Kingdom can only wear this level of clothes on normal times.
Fortunately, the queen's dressing skills are generally recognized as good. Although she wears cheap clothes, she still wears a fashionable style with her high appearance, good figure and good temperament.
The two little princesses are usually simple and lively, and they can even bring some popular products. The blue zara dress worn by the Little Prince of the Female, who was wearing when she appeared on Mallorca, was sold out at the time.
But in fact, this dress is only a few dozen euros...
680,000 euros, almost 10 people in the family need to use...
It's really unimaginable!
I just came to a Hollywood female star casually, and the female votes I gave in one night were several times that of this. But this number is a year of living expenses...
Fortunately, it is said that when attending some public occasions, the various precious jewelry of the royal family members was provided free of charge by the government, but they had to be taken back after the event...
Since they live so poor, don’t the royal members think about making money? But almost all European kingdoms, where the royal family is relatively poor, have similar regulations in their country: the royal family is not allowed to do business...
A group of descendants of the past, the rulers, lived so poor.
Abel was speechless.
It would be better than...
Try to spend money?
Abel with some strange habit was thinking in his heart.
At this time, Abel's tent had arrived. In the center of the royal family's tent group, two princes of the British Kingdom arranged it at once. It was obvious that this royal party was held.
These two oldest princes are the leaders, and the other royal members are young, similar to those of these two princesses.
While here, Abel, Taylor and His Highness separated from the two princesses.
They have their own tents.
Prince Henry came over and greeted: "Abel, take a break first. How about we have a lunch together after an hour?"
"Okay." Abel agreed, and asked by the way, "By the way. My dear Prince, I want to ask. If I have any needs, I can send it here, right? Send it from London or Paris."
"There are food, useful, and all are free, provided by the EU. What else do you need?" Prince Henry asked curiously.
