Queen Elizabeth II has made more than $9 million from her side hustle. via CNBCMakeIt
Queen Elizabeth II has a lucrative side hustle: horse racing. Over the past 30 years, the pastime has earned her $9,372,441, reports USA Today, citing data from MyRacing.com.

One of her most significant wins came in 2013, when her horse Estimate won the Gold Cup at Ascot. It was the first time a reigning monarch had won the race.That side-income makes up a decent chunk of her personal wealth of $530 million.
She is conscious of energy costs, too. According to the Financial Times, in 2011 she posted warning signs around her 775-room palace that read:"The attention is drawn of all members of staff to the need to switch off unwanted lights. By Order of The Master of The Household." According to one of her employees, she often took the task upon herself and roamed the halls flicking switches.
But it's likely that horse racing is more of a passion than a way to earn some extra cash. The Queen has reportedly loved horses since she was young. According to The Telegraph, she has been riding since she was just four years old when she was given a Shetland pony named Peggy. And, at age 91, she reportedly still rides.
