Sophie Turner's Aristocrat Boyfriend Peregrine Pearson Is Mighty Wealthy, So We Calculated His Net Worth
Today in "everyone's dating a British aristocrat but me," we've gathered 'round for another deep dive into Sophie Turner's boyfriend... specifically his bank account, the contents of which I consider a personal attack against both me and my bank account.
Sophie has been dating Peregrine Pearson for about a year at this point (check out their timeline over here), and there are a few need-to-know facts about him that directly impact his massive net worth. For starters....
Peregrine Is a Future Viscount
Peregrine's father is the current Viscount Cowdray (actual name: Michael Orlando Weetman Pearson), and eventually the Viscount title will be passed to Perry. This presumably means Sophie will become a Viscountess if they get married? Getting ahead of ourselves, sorry.
Point is: Perry isn't just set to inherit a title. He'll also be pocketing a giant amount of land (6,500 acres), though Micheal did put the the property's main mansion up for sale in 2010 because he didn't want Perry to have to deal with it.
As he put it, "I have worried whether I will be leaving Perry a wonderful asset or a noose around his neck. I fear it is likely to be the latter... I'm not the sort of person who feels hugely attached to things, and it's a big house. It's time for us as a family to let go. We feel much more comfortable moving into a sustainable home, with perhaps one housekeeper.”
The timeline is a little murky, but it seems like the family ended up keeping the home, turning it—per Tatler—into an "exclusive venue." They did sell family heirlooms at auction for a total of £7.9 million, though!
Aside from the main house, the Cowdray estate includes some casual Tudor ruins, a golf club, clay pigeon shooting, farmland, a farm shop, a café, holiday cottages (which you can rent), and, most significantly....
His Family Owns The Cowdray Park Polo Club
This elite club hosts polo matches for the rich and famous posh and aristocratic, including members of the British royal family. Like, they reportedly host more than 450 matches every season and teach polo classes.
Here's Princess Diana and Sarah Ferguson attending a match back in 1981!
Then There's the “Pearson Media Empire”
Apparently Perry's father (who produced the Rolling Stones film Sympathy for the Devil), owns what the Daily Mail calls "a significant chunk" of the Pearson media empire—which Perry and his siblings will presumably inherit. Meanwhile, Perry has his own property development company called Weetman, which he cofounded.
So, What Is Perry's Net Worth?
While his individual net worth isn't publicly available, reports claim the Cowdrays are collectively sitting on a £224 million family fortune. Oh, and apparently Perry has his own $5 million place in Chelsea, so if all else fails he can just sell it and still be richer than the rest of us!
