Queen Elizabeth II recently turned 95, and now a report has revealed that her brand recognition is higher than that of much younger celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Oprah Winfrey.
According to statistics from German research platform Statistica for True Royalty TV, the Queen is more talked about than media personality Oprah Winfrey, reported Fox Business.
The report also revealed that her personal brand is bigger than that of Kim Kardashian, the Obamas, Beyonce and Bill Gates.
Nick Bullen, co-founder and editor-in-chief of True Royalty TV, shared that Elizabeth has "built the British monarchy into one of the world’s biggest brands."
Experts from a recent documentary, "Elizabeth at 95: The Invincible Queen," estimated that The Firm is valued at $100 billion. Going by this figure, it is "the UK’s most valuable brand."
The Queen is estimated to be worth around $50 billion while her personal wealth is approximately $560 million.
The report came around the time of the Queen's 95th birthday that was celebrated on Wednesday with her close family members.
Born in London on April 21, 1926, the Queen's birthday is a public event with gun salutes in Hyde Park, Windsor Great Park and at the Tower of London. But this year, it was a low-key affair. Her birthday came just days after the funeral of Prince Philip, her husband of 73 years, reported CNN.
But on the occasion, she thanked the public for their good wishes and said she was "deeply touched" by the tributes that have poured in for the Duke of Edinburgh. "I have, on the occasion of my 95th birthday today, received many messages of good wishes, which I very much appreciate," she said.
"While as a family we are in a period of great sadness, it has been a comfort to us all to see and to hear the tributes paid to my husband, from those within the United Kingdom, the Commonwealth and around the world.
"My family and I would like to thank you all for the support and kindness shown to us in recent days. We have been deeply touched, and continue to be reminded that Philip had such an extraordinary impact on countless people throughout his life."
