New statistics show that the 91-year-old Queen has raked in nearly $9 million in winnings during the last 30 years.

Last year was one of her best, earning her $735,540 toward her a total of $8,843,817, according to myracing.com. This year, she has amassed around $545,600 (£413,641), and she finished as 11th best owner in the flat-racing season that ended on Saturday.

The Queen, who attends the Royal Ascot races every June, was given her first pony when she was 4 and won her first race as an owner in 1949 when she was a 23-year-old princess. She is still riding as often as she can.
