Harry and Meghan - OP updated with Threadbanned Users 4/5/21

DP

Sufficient income to sustain their lifestyle. Their mansion cost $16 million, about the same as Harry's inheritance.

With this $120 million in the bank then they can surely hire the biggest, baddest and bestest security detail money can buy to ward off all these neo nazis loitering on street corners when they visit Granny. No need for RPO's so why is his security even newsworthy? IMO they are going broke.

Well there's an easy way to find out, provide the security and call the bluff, if that's what you think it is. Harry can skip the Jubilee but he is proabably thinking of his Grandmother's funeral, which can't be far off, and the natural inclination to want his kids to have met her and vise versa.

Perhaps Gran could pick them up from the airport, then they wouldn't need security.

This is a discussion forum and you can think my input is ranting and raving if you like. Ok so Andrew get's police protection. There are calls for it to be revoked/given up and I agree with that. He's been sent to coventry. To re-iterate, it's the home office who decide on this and not the RF. My point was that it's possible that he get's RF paid for security as well.

In terms of income then it’s not exactly a regular income as they likely have deliverables to actually get that income. It’s tumbleweeds from them in terms of content and any advances they got are likely already swallowed up with expenses. Don't go dressing up my takes on this as hate or being influenced by the likes of the DM. This is slow motion car crash stuff from two entitled people who fumbled the privilege they had and their textbook victim playing where everyone but themselves are seemingly to blame is fascinating as to how deluded they are. 

Nope. Again your assertion that he has no income and is going broke simply doesn't have a toehold in anything resembling reality.

Again, the headline fee is not what is handed over in one fell swoop. He'd be given an advance, he'd be given money for delivering a final manuscript, he'd get money from sales. It's all drip-drip and my point is that in spite of money coming in that manner you can still go broke when your expenses/debts are more than what's coming in.

You mean he earns an income? Are we agreed on that now?

What evidence have you that suggests he is going broke or he can't service his debt?

From what is available in the public domain strongly suggests media companies are throwing huge amount of cash at him to take advantage of his celebrity, personally I can't see how anyone would see that as an alien concept.

Now if you have tangible evidence to the contrary that he is going broke I'll gladly take a peek.

All the evidence suggests since moving to America he is up to his ginger bollicks in cash.

Again, that's not my opinion.

With some time on my hands from a speculative high level there are;

Incomings:

CHIMPO role. ($250k per year let's say)

Netflix deal advance ($12 million i.e. 10%) This is used to pay production costs, crew salaries and expenses so not a true income.

Spotify deal - $1.8 million advance. Nothing for 2021 as no output.

Book deal $2 million advance in 2021.

MoS privacy damages - £1

MoS copyright damages - "substantial"

Speaking gigs.

Harry inheritance - let's say $15 million.

Bench sales (?)

Assets - circa $30 million

Outgoings:

Security - a reported $3 million per annum. (Taking the NYC cavalcade tour into account there)

Mortgage downpayment - $1.5 million

Staff and maintenance of mansion - $500k

Income tax (12.3%) $2 million for 2021

Annual property tax - $150k

Time magazine cover - $1.5 million

Sunshine Sachs - let's say $2 million

Legal fees (a lot, let's say another $2 million)

Mortgage $1 million a year.

Liabilities - $14 million.

So in this back of the envelope exercise they have $16 million in net worth but with recurring multi million expenses. To clarify, no one knows their finances but them but it's not hard to discern that they can go broke with such expenses.

I am sure that the memoir will be a best seller if it has plenty of tea spilling in it and that will bring in more millions but at a greater cost to his family relationships and his own future marketability. I don't see any sustainable income stream which they need to maintain their lifestyle. That's why I think they're going broke. Getting IPP status would be a god send for their security expenses. That and a blockbuster book will keep the wolf from the door.

That they spent that to get on the cover. An "era of visibilty" expense via Sunshine Sachs. The list is back of the envelope stuff along with reports of what they've signed on for but allowing for how the payments of those deals work in reality (i.e. drip drip).

Harpo received circa $9 million from CBS. The 30 second ad spots cost $325k. Three five minute ad breaks per hour so $6.5 million from ads. Let’s say Oprah is being generous and Harry and Meghan (who didn't get paid to "appear" lest we forget) get 50% of the ad costs so that's $3.1 million after income tax. Whaddya know, that's their security paid for a year! Better get some IPP status back because the Oprah gig, and the money deriving from it, was just a once off.
