Synopsis
Forbes Top 20 Young Royals explores the fascinating world and lives of the world's young royals.
From Princes William and Harry of England, to the royal houses of Sweden, Germany, Brunei, Dubai, Thailand, Japan, Sweden, Greece, and Monaco the show reveals the perks and bling that go along with modern royalty.
To compile the ranking, Forbes counted international Web and media presence as well as family wealth. Only unmarried royals under the age of 35 were considered.
The 20 royals on Forbes Hottest Young Royals list represent nearly $60-billion in wealth and 15 royal lineages.
While a few own or operate their own businesses, the majority are students or involved in serving their countries through, for example, diplomacy, athletic competition or military service - proving there's more to hotness than wealth, power and good looks, though none of those things hurt.
