In an unprecedented exercise of transparency, King Felipe VI has made his assets public. According to the data provided, the monarch has just over 2.5 million euros and 305,450 euros in art objects, antiques and personal jewelry. But private cars? None.
We have seen Felipe VI support the national automobile industry. A few months ago he was visiting the Stellantis factory in Figueruelas (Zaragoza). He was thus repeating a visit that he had made 25 years ago when he was Prince and as a culmination he tested the group’s electric vans.
The cars of King Felipe VI
Although he is usually talked about as a car fan, the truth is that there are not many models with which he has been seen. Among the cars that King Felipe VI has driven are a Seat Ibiza 1.5 GLX painted in champagne, a Lancia Delta Integrale and a red Volvo 480.
Already converted into King and with his family in the rear seats, there are several occasions in which he has been photographed at the wheel of a first-generation Audi RS6 sedan and an Audi RS6 C6 with a V10 engine,

According to the data published by the Royal House, King Felipe VI has assets of 2,573,392.80 euros divided into deposits (2,267,942.80 euros) and current accounts. Added to this are objects of art, jewelry and antiques that have been valued at 305,540 euros.
What the monarch does not have is income outside the country, or real estate, or owned vehicles.
For those who wonder how he has managed to have that heritage, the Royal House answers that based on saving the remuneration that his fund has in the budgets of the House of His Majesty the King over the last 25 years.
The remuneration, as reported by Zarzuela in a statement, is set at 4,275,796.94 euros gross, from which the consequent tax withholdings and taxes paid over these 25 years must be deducted.
