MADRID (AP) — What’s it worth to reign in Spain?
Spain’s royal palace released a breakdown of the royal family’s finances for the first time Wednesday, saying King Juan Carlos earns €292,552 ($382,597) a year and his son, crown Prince Felipe, roughly half that amount.
The palace said that of the monarch’s gross income, just under half was personal salary and the rest was designated for expenses. The king pays 40 percent in tax on the total sum.
Queen Sofia and the princesses Cristina, Elena and Letizia receive €370,000 ($483,553) between them, while Felipe earns €146,375 ($191,297).
The palace is assigned an annual budget by Parliament. It totaled €8.4 million ($11 million) in 2011.
The royal family promised recently to release the information as part of the king’s commitment to making his household’s accounts transparent. The figures were posted on the palace website http://www.casareal.com.
The release comes as the king’s son-in-law Inaki Urdangarin, husband of Cristina, is reportedly suspected of siphoning funds from public contracts awarded from 2004 to 2006 to a nonprofit foundation he then headed.
