Kate Middleton's sister Pippa may not have a royal title attached to her name, but with her impressive business acumen and journalism skills, the younger Middleton has proven her own name's worth.
The Duchess of Cambridge's younger sis is said to have pulled in over $350,000 in the past year alone, according to new figures released by Companies House. The 31-year-old socialite was able to rake in such amount thanks to her business assets and writing gigs, Mail Online reported.
Pippa Middleton serves as the sole director and shareholder of PXM Enterprises Ltd. The registered company has assets totaling £229,241, including £211,521 in cash, in its first year, according to the UK Express. While the nature of the company is not clear, it is listed simply as "Other publishing activities" on Companies House, the publication said.
Pippa's other sources of income include her editing job at the Party Times, the web magazine of her parents' online business, Party Pieces. She also works as a contributing editor of Vanity Fair as well as a regular columnist of supermarket magazine, Waitrose Kitchen, according to Mail Online.
Pippa also wrote and published a party planning book titled, "Celebrate: A Year of British Festivities for Families and Friends." The book, however, was widely panned by critics for presenting what was seen as obvious content.
Still many media sources consider Pippa's journalism gigs lucrative and successful, with some sources even calling her the most successful in the Middleton clan. Kate Middleton's sister is said to have been following the footsteps of their mother Carole, who is a smart and accomplished businesswoman herself.
The Duchess' sister is also frequently being compared to their brother James who, despite being entrepreneurial, has had less success in building profitable businesses. The youngest Middleton sibling is currently concentrating on his latest venture, bespoke marshmallow company, Boomf. Prince George's uncle runs another venture, The Cake Kit Company, which is still trading but sells only "business to business," Mail Online stated.
