But essentially, it consists of 52,449 &#8220;hectares of land&#8221; (farms, forests, rivers, coasts, quarries, residential properties) that William earns money on, not to mention \u00a3345 million worth of commercial properties that he also earns money on. Basically, it&#8217;s a massive property portfolio that William holds the keys to.
