Meghan Markle is reportedly hoping to join the coveted billionare’s club.
The Duchess of Sussex, 43, has rolled out a series of new businesses in recent weeks, from her new Netflix show and lifestyle brand to a shiny new podcast and digital storefront.
As her new business ventures begin to take shape, it appears as though the “Suits” alum is “convinced” that her net worth will grow accordingly, according to the Telegraph.
A well-placed source told the outlet that the former working royal “thinks she’s going to be a billionaire” — and that the team she’s assembled will no doubt help her get there.
The Post has reached out to Markle’s reps for comment.
On Tuesday, the mom of two promised to dive into some major “girl talk” as she dropped the trailer for her new podcast, “Confessions of a Female Founder.”
In the preview clip, Markle said her podcast will advise listeners on how to turn “small ideas into billion-dollar businesses” with the help of some girl boss guests.
The former actress unveiled her rebranded podcast to the world earlier this month after inking a deal with Lemonada Media in Feb. 2024.
She was forced to seek out other avenues after Spotify decided not to renew the steep $20 million contract for a second season of her now-defunct podcast, “Archetypes.”
Her podcast announcement followed hot on the heels of her digital storefront release, for which she has already been accused of “monetizing the monarchy.”
Markle created a ShopMy page that allows her to earn commission on affiliate links she posts, and she has already featured mostly designer pieces, including pricy linen shirts, sweaters, sunglasses and handbags.
While prices vary, the vast majority of the listed items boast eye-popping price tags.
These include a $1,415 beige Loro Piana cashmere crewneck, a $1,350 Heidi Merrick dress, Brochu Walker pants priced at $388 and a gold Maya Brenner Happiness Retreat citrine stone necklace, made in collaboration with Markle’s “Suits” co-star Abigail Spencer, for $500 a pop.
The duchess is also gearing up to launch her lifestyle brand, As Ever, which she unveiled to the world last month.
The company, which is selling products like Markle’s signature raspberry jam, used to be called American Riviera Orchard, but she changed the name after facing a slew of trademark issues.
Still, there’s been no information about the brand’s release date so far.
Some of As Ever’s products were featured on Markle’s Netflix show, titled “With Love, Meghan,” which premiered earlier this month as part of the Sussexes’ $100 million deal with the streamer.
The 8-part series, which featured special guests like Mindy Kaling and Abigail Spencer, saw Markle offer up a “how-to” guide for hosting friends at home.
The show has been bashed by critics and earned lower viewership numbers than her 2022 series “Harry & Meghan.”
Still, it appears as though Netflix was pleased with Markle’s cooking show, as they greenlit the series for Season 2 — and already filmed the episodes.
