Pippa Middleton, who made waves in a figure-hugging gown at her sister, the Duchess of Cambridge‘s royal wedding, has reportedly made over £250,000 last year.
After being known for years as “Kate Middleton‘s sister”, it’s clear that the socialite is keen to get out of her famous sister’s shadow, and is doing so with aplomb.
According to the UK’s Express the 31-year-old is the sole director of PXM Enterprises, which has assets totalling £229,241 ($453,549 AUD), including £211,521 ($418,490 AUD) in cash in its first year.
Pippa made her not-so-small fortune from a range of journalism ventures, including a weekly column for a supermarket magazine, Waitrose Kitchen, a contributing role for Vanity Fair, and, of course, her highly anticipated but slightly underwhelming book, Celebrate: A Year of British Festivities for Families and Friends, which earned her more than a couple of scoffs from the English literary community.
But despite her critics, Pippa is still raking in the cash; the startling sum (which converts roughly to $450,000 AUD) has moved her to hire accounting experts OJK Ltd, who deal with the likes of Simon Cowell and Kate Bush.
With money like that it’s no wonder Pippa can afford the glamorous lifestyle she leads, including her impressive wardrobe; take a look back at Ms Middleton’s best looks…
