Since the beginning of 2025, Meghan Markle has gone on a project-launching spree which has prompted insiders to reveal that she has a goal of becoming a billionaire.
Source claims Meghan Markle wants to become a billionaire
An insider revealed to The Sun that Meghan Markle 'wants to be a billionaire.' They added:
She wants a private jet. She wants to live a certain life.
The Sun is not only tabloid that has an insider dropping such claims. The Telegraph also reported on the claims of their own insider who says Meghan Markle is 'convinced' that her new business ventures, such as her wellness brand As Ever, and digital storefront, will make her net worth increase exponentially.
Like the previous unknown source, this one too believes the royal is hoping to become a billionaire.
The source opened up to the media outlet, explaining that the Duchess has also surrounded herself with a team of people who may help her get there. Meghan Markle announced she was going to dive into some serious 'girl talk' in her new podcast, entitled Confessions of a Female Founder. The Duchess wants her tips to inspire other girls and women to turn 'small ideas into billion-dollar businesses'. She will interview other CEOs and entrepreneurs, all women, on her podcast.
The news comes almost two years after Spotify announced it will not renew Meghan Markle's $20 million contract for a second season of her Archetypes podcast.
It is clear that Meghan Markle is making some big moves and clearing out space for her name. In 2025 she decided to bring back her presence on social media, and she's using the platform to set the record straight about who she is, and slam rumours that are swirling around the internet in her own way.
The Duchess and Gwyneth Paltrow dismiss feud rumours
Fellow actresses and entrepreneurs Meghan Markle and Gwyneth Paltrow had been dealing with rumours of a possible rift between the two women ever since the royal launched her lifestyle brand.
The Goop founder often engages in Q&A sessions on her Instagram account, during which she answers questions from her followers. It was during one of these sessions that she addressed the rumours, after someone asked:
Are you comprehending the Meghan Markle beef that social media says you two have?
The 52-year-old actress and entrepreneur responded simply:
I genuinely do not understand this at all, whatsoever.
She then turned her camera to reveal Meghan Markle sitting in her kitchen, and asked her if she understood the rumours too. In the video, Meghan Markle shrugs her shoulders playfully, signaling that she had no idea where how the whispers started.
Gwyneth Paltrow also opened up to Vanity Fair on 18 March on the matter saying:
I was raised to see other women as friends, not foes. I think there’s always more than enough to go around. Everybody deserves an attempt at everything that they want to try.
