Meghan Markle isn’t just chasing headlines anymore — she’s chasing billions.
The Duchess of Sussex has launched an aggressive new business push, hoping to transform herself from former royal into full-blown American media mogul. Sources close to the operation say Markle is “absolutely convinced” she’ll join the billionaire club — and she’s pulling every Hollywood string to make it happen.
“She thinks she’s going to be a billionaire,” a source told The Telegraph. “She’s built a team of top-tier consultants, producers, and marketers. She’s taking this very seriously.”
New Show, New Podcast, New Brand — Same Markle Strategy
Fresh off the debut of her new Netflix series With Love, Meghan, Markle is now rolling out a podcast titled Confessions of a Female Founder — a glossy, girl-power talk show promising to teach listeners how to build “billion-dollar businesses.” The message is clear: Meghan’s not just aiming to inspire, she’s positioning herself as the model of success.
“I’ve learned a lot,” she says in the trailer. “This podcast is for every woman who’s been told her ideas are too small. We’re going big here.”
The series is part of her deal with Lemonada Media, signed in early 2024 after Spotify axed her first podcast Archetypes — a $20 million bust for the platform that ended after just one season.
Critics: She’s ‘Monetizing the Monarchy’
Her latest moves are raising eyebrows — and drawing fire.
From a rebranded digital storefront on ShopMy, where she’s selling high-end fashion and accessories through affiliate links, to her upcoming lifestyle brand As Ever, Markle is cashing in on her royal name, whether the British establishment likes it or not.
The price tags are no joke. On her curated ShopMy page:
- A $1,415 Loro Piana cashmere crewneck
- $1,350 Heidi Merrick dress
- $388 Brochu Walker pants
- $500 citrine necklace designed with Suits co-star Abigail Spencer
“She’s monetizing the monarchy in a way we’ve never seen before,” said royal commentator Richard Eden. “Everything is branded, polished, and premium. There’s no subtlety.”
Reinvention After Royal Exit
Markle’s latest brand, As Ever, was introduced last month after her original label, American Riviera Orchard, ran into trademark issues. The lifestyle company is expected to sell everything from raspberry jam to luxury home goods — several of which were featured on With Love, Meghan.
That series, which premiered this month, offered a polished look at Markle’s home life, celebrity friendships, and entertaining tips. Guests included Mindy Kaling and Spencer, while critics described it as “overproduced but toothless.” Still, Netflix has already greenlit Season 2.
“Viewership wasn’t huge,” one Hollywood insider noted, “but Netflix likes what Meghan’s building. It fits their long-game play for lifestyle content.”
Behind the Glamour, a Carefully Calculated Campaign
Markle’s business rollout has been anything but random. From social media teasers and glossy promo shots to cross-platform brand tie-ins, it’s clear there’s a machine working behind the scenes.
And the message to America is crystal clear: Meghan Markle isn’t just back — she’s building an empire.
“She sees herself in the mold of Oprah or Martha Stewart,” said one entertainment executive. “This isn’t just a side hustle. This is her future — and she’s betting big.”
But will American audiences buy in?
So far, her critics remain loud. But her team is betting that in a world obsessed with influencers, aspirational living, and entrepreneurial success — Meghan’s moment might finally be here.
Whether she hits the billion-dollar mark or not, one thing is clear: she’s going to make a lot of noise trying.
