Queen Elizabeth II is the proud legal owner of one-sixth of the Earth’s land surface, owning multiple continents and countries all around the world. Her 6.6 million acres include Great Britain, Northern Ireland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Falkland Islands, Papua New Guinea, and several Caribbean countries.

With her 6.6 billion acres, Elizabeth II is far and away the world’s largest landowner, with the closest runner-up (King Abdullah) holding control over a mere 547 million, or about 12% of the lands owned by Her Majesty, The Queen.
