On One Hand: Large Profits to be HadThere are few legitimate noble titles for sale. British titles cannot be bought or sold, but 2,500 Scottish, feudal baron titles exist that are transferable, according to The Independent. These can fetch sums of $2.5 to $3 million. In addition, holding a title of nobility may have an intangible worth to your family’s future genealogy.On the Other: Many are Scams, Not Allowed in the USThere are several websites on the Internet selling phony titles of nobility to capitalize on the trend of trying to buy into a royal bloodline. Additionally, even if you purchase a legitimate title, you cannot use it in the United States without giving up your citizenship as the Constitution forbids titles of nobility as of 2010.Bottom LineOnly you can determine whether purchasing a royal title is worth the price. If you are interested in a title of nobility, The Independent recommends hiring a solicitor who specializes in verifying the background on a title for sale.
