In a raw and heartfelt episode of her Confessions of a Female Founder podcast, Meghan Markle opened up like never before about the emotional baggage women carry when it comes to money. Sitting down with Spanx founder Sara Blakely, the Duchess of Sussex confessed to battling a “guilt mentality” around wealth and a “scarcity mindset” — even as one of the world’s most famous women.
“It’s easy to think, ‘I’ll never have enough,’” Meghan admitted, shedding light on how women are often discouraged from speaking about money at all. Despite her royal status and living in a $14M Montecito mansion with Prince Harry, she emphasized how emotional struggles around money are deeply ingrained.
The couple, often scrutinized for their wealth and ties to high society, reportedly boast a combined net worth of $60 million. Critics often accuse them of living off “other people’s money,” but Meghan is charting her own path.
She spoke openly about the loneliness of entrepreneurship before partnering with Netflix to launch her lifestyle brand As Ever. Her documentary With Love, Meghan and her new podcast series are part of a growing empire that reflects authenticity and resilience.
Balancing luxury and vulnerability, Meghan’s story is a reminder that even those with fame and fortune aren’t immune to money anxiety and self-doubt.
