How much is Knightley worth?
Does anyone have an estimate based on his land and holdings? I know Darcy is 10,000 pounds a year and he is another favorite Austen hero of mine, but I'm curious about Knightley's wealth.
shareHe's the eldest son, has the biggest house and grounds and owns most of the land in Highbury.
But he's still not the catch Darcy is.
They never say what he's worth. I guess Knightley is a more humble than Darcy.
Yes, I'd like to know too. I heard that Mrs. Elliot was worth 20,000 so I was wondering if anyone topped her.
It's good to dream
Emma herself is worth 30,000. Mr Knightley is land rich, cash poor, I think - when he arrives at the ball in his carriage, instead of walking, Emma mentions that he has very little spare money.

Yes, in the book it is mentioned that the Woodhouses have a small property but a massive amount of money and that Knightley has a lot of land but not a lot of money.

Truth be told, I had to see you one more time, even if it was from a distance.
Because he puts his money back into his estate.
