Here’s the fun twist: Not really. David Attenborough doesn’t drive a fleet of Lamborghinis. He doesn’t own a private island (he probably thinks that’s a bit rude to the crabs). He lives in a modest house in Richmond, London, with his family.
One of his biggest expenses? Travel and conservation. He’s famously donated large sums to environmental causes. He even gave his name to a ship, the RRS Sir David Attenborough—which cost £200 million, but the UK government paid for that one, thank goodness.
He’s the kind of wealthy person who still flies economy sometimes. I bet he uses his frequent flyer miles to visit a rare orchid in Madagascar. Total power move.
