No, Dodi Fayed wasn't personally a billionaire, but he was the son of Egyptian billionaire Mohamed Al-Fayed, a wealthy businessman who owned Harrods, the Ritz Paris hotel, and Fulham Football Club, making Dodi a very wealthy heir with extensive resources, though he was known more as a playboy and film producer.
How rich was Dodi Fayed? As the eldest son of Mohamed Al-Fayed, Dodi was born into a billionaire family (his father died in August 2023 with an estimated net worth of $2 billion).
Who inherited Princess Diana's fortune? Diana left behind many possessions when she died in a Paris car crash in 1997 at age 36. According to news.com.au, the late royal's will instructed that the majority of her £21 million ($A40 million) estate go to William and Harry.
When Princess Diana tragically died in 1997, her estate was valued at around £21 million (about $35.6 million) after taxes. Most of this was left equally to her sons, Prince William and Prince Harry. Because William and Harry were only teenagers at the time, the inheritance was placed into a trust.
Yet “at one point, Fisher was abruptly told by a family member not to call anymore, Allred said,” according to the Los Angeles Times. The model also said that while Dodi paid her $60,000, another check for $200,000 bounced. She sought the remaining $440,000, as well as legal costs and damages.
Love apparently blessed Princess Diana in her final hours. A Paris jeweler says he created a $200,000 diamond ring that Dodi Fayed gave to Diana during dinner Saturday night at the Ritz Hotel, just before they both died in a car crash.
Fisher is now married to Mikhail Movshina, a pilot, and lives in Aiken, South Carolina, where she works as a property developer and is no longer a public figure.
Diana left an estate of roughly $30 million, but at least a third of that was paid in inheritance tax, leaving nearly $18 million, according to reports. The sum was split equally between William and younger brother Harry.
Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh (then Sophie Rhys-Jones) did not attend Princess Diana's funeral in 1997, reportedly because her strong resemblance to Diana would have been too upsetting for the grieving crowds, a decision made thoughtfully by Sophie herself. At the time, she was dating Prince Edward, but they were not yet engaged or married.
Kate Middleton didn't inherit a direct cash sum from Queen Elizabeth II, but she received a significant portion of the late Queen's personal jewelry collection, estimated at around £70 million (or over $110 million), including famous tiaras and necklaces, as a testament to their bond and her role as future queen, though Camilla, Queen Consort, had first choice.
She hugged her nephew and handed him a brightly wrapped package along with an envelope. Inside the package was the Sony PlayStation he had wanted for his 13th birthday Harry opened the card slowly. It read: Happy Birthday Harry!
Meghan Markle's jewelry collection includes several heirloom pieces from the late Princess of Wales. The Duchess of Sussex wore Diana's iconic "divorce ring" to her 2018 wedding reception, for example. She has since stepped out in earrings, bracelets, and necklaces that once belonged to her late mother-in-law.
Princess Diana's "dark side" involved significant mental health struggles, including depression, bulimia, self-harm, and mood swings, alongside perceived manipulative, attention-seeking, and vindictive behaviors, often stemming from insecurity and an unstable upbringing, creating deep conflict within her marriage and with royal staff, despite her public image as a compassionate figure. She confessed to these struggles, including affairs and self-harm, in her famous interview, revealing a complex, wounded individual overwhelmed by pressure and emptiness.
About a year after Prince William was born in June 1982, Diana was under pressure to produce a spare to the heir. In September 1983, Buckingham Palace announced that Diana was pregnant for a second time, but sadly, she suffered a miscarriage later that week while at the Balmoral estate in Scotland.
She then - famously - enrolled at St Andrews University in Scotland to study History of Art, which is where she met her future hubby. But before her high-profile marriage, Mail Online reported that her family inherited a trust fund that in 2014, was worth over £3 million.

Camilla did not attend Diana's funeral on September 6, 1997.
Princess Margaret didn't bow to Princess Diana's coffin at her funeral primarily due to a deep-seated resentment stemming from Diana's 1995 tell-all Panorama interview, which Margaret saw as a severe betrayal of the Royal Family and the Queen; Margaret never forgave Diana for publicly airing grievances and challenging royal decorum, viewing her as a disloyal figure, leading to her snub during the funeral procession despite their initially warm relationship.
Diana was wearing a ring given to her by Dodi Fayed when she died. It was a £3,000 Bulgari yellow gold band with diamonds. The diamond band set in yellow gold was not an engagement ring and was worn on the fourth finger of her right hand, where her butler Paul Burrell advised her to wear it.
The former Queen put $90 million into a trust fund before her death, noting that Harry would be able to access his share upon turning 40. Harry will inherit some of his fortune – $8.5 million – on Sept. 15, though he will need to pay taxes on his future commercial earnings.
What Was Meghan Markle's Net Worth Before She Married Harry? Prior to marrying Prince Harry, Markle's net worth was $5 million, per Celebrity Net Worth.
According to The High Court of Justice of England, Princess Diana's estate was 21,711,485 pounds. That's over 30 million U.S. dollars.
"I think it is safe to say that Diana didn't know that Kelly Fisher was on another family yacht, waiting for furtive visits from Dodi, with whom she had been in a relationship for nearly a year. Diana had already played that scene in her marriage to Prince Charles.
In the divorce, Derek Fisher's wife was rewarded $109,000 a month in spousal support and an additional $15,000 in child support for their two children. However, after Derek lost his job as a New York Knicks coach the judged reduced his payments to $0.
Later life. In 2007, Fisher married Russian pilot Mikhail Movshin, whom she met in the Central African Republic. They have one daughter and live in Aiken, South Carolina.
