Fact check: Which billionaires have publicly supported abolishing monarchies around the world?

1. Summary of the results

Based on the comprehensive analysis of available sources, no billionaires have been identified as publicly supporting the abolition of monarchies around the world. All nine sources analyzed consistently report that no billionaires are mentioned in connection with anti-monarchy movements ^{[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]}.

The sources instead focus on:

• Political movements - particularly Quebec's National Assembly unanimously voting to break ties with the monarchy in May 2025 ^{[3] [5]}
• Grassroots organizations - such as the Republic campaign in the UK, led by CEO Graham Smith, which organized protests at events like Trooping the Colour ^{[7] [8]}
• Academic discussions about inequality and monarchy, particularly in the UK context ^{[1] [2]}

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The original question assumes that billionaires have taken public positions on monarchy abolition, but the evidence suggests this is not a cause that has attracted significant billionaire advocacy. Several important contextual factors are missing:

• Recent political developments - Quebec's unanimous legislative action in May 2025 represents the most significant recent anti-monarchy political movement, driven by elected officials rather than wealthy individuals ^{[4] [5] [3]}
• Organized advocacy groups - The primary opposition to monarchies appears to come from established organizations like Republic in the UK, which operates through traditional activism rather than billionaire funding ^{[6] [7] [8]}
• Academic and policy perspectives - Discussions about monarchy abolition focus on inequality and democratic principles rather than being driven by wealthy benefactors ^{[1] [2]}

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original question contains an implicit assumption that may not reflect reality. By asking "which billionaires" have supported abolishing monarchies, it presupposes that such billionaires exist and have taken public positions on this issue.

The evidence suggests this assumption is unfounded - the complete absence of any billionaire mentions across all analyzed sources indicates that either:

• Billionaires have not publicly engaged with anti-monarchy causes
• Such engagement, if it exists, is not significant enough to be reported in mainstream coverage of anti-monarchy movements

This framing could potentially mislead readers into believing that billionaire involvement in anti-monarchy movements is a documented phenomenon when the available evidence suggests otherwise.
