She didn't buy an ordinary house, she bought a total of 5 castles, each of which was worth a lot of money, and the most expensive castle cost 160 million when she bought it.
The castle had to be renovated to her liking, and there had to be enough servants to clean it up and maintain it every year, and each of them cost more than a million dollars, and the money was spent like flowing water.
Some houses she could not stay in for a few days a year, but became a paradise for servants.
The Queen Mother's servants are very happy, with high salaries, good treatment, easy work, and they are not afraid of being fired when they are old, and some of her servants are still working in their 80s.

The Queen Mother was obsessed with horse racing, and she had to buy the horses she fancied no matter how expensive they were, and she had dozens of high-quality racehorses in her stables.

According to rough estimates, the annual expenditure must be more than 30 million.
The Queen Mother's annuity has been rising, and finally rose to about 5.4 million yuan per year.

The queen felt sorry for her mother and gave her £2 million a year.
Charles was brought up by the Queen Mother herself, and she had a good relationship with her, giving her 80,000 pounds a year.
The mother only spends money, and the queen is also under a lot of pressure.
She is just an ordinary person, she can't be absolutely selfless, and in order to relieve her pressure, she frequently vetoes bills that cut the benefits of the royal family.
Someone gave the aftermath to the bottom, and the queen mother had more confidence to spend money, and she was gone on the road of buying and buying, and she was still very able to spend money in her 90s.
At the age of 98, she also had an overdraft of £4 million in the bank.

The Queen Mother didn't listen at all, she still went her own way, and the Queen sometimes complained about her mother.
Once, when the queen complained again about her mother's lavish spending, the queen mother replied disappreciatively, who do you think you are?
After all, it is her mother, the queen mother, who has made great contributions to the royal family, and the queen has no temper at all, so she can only reply according to her words, Mommy, I am the queen.
The Queen Mother lived to be 101 years old, and she was always happy in front of the public, which should have a lot to do with the fact that she spends when she wants to spend and buy when she wants.
She was often overdrawn when she was alive, but left behind an estate of around £70 million when she died.
The Queen Mother commented on herself, I am not as good as you think.
