But unlike when Prince Harry wed American actress Meghan Markle earlier this year, Eugenie's soon-to-be husband isn't already famous in his own right. In fact, unless you're an avid British tabloid reader, you might not know him at all. ## Who is Jack Brooksbank? Jack Brooksbank is Eugenie's 31-year-old boyfriend of eight years. The two are distantly related — but that didn't keep the royal family's official Twitter account from [misspelling his name](https://www.hellomagazine.com/royalty/2018101163338/royal-family-shock-with-spelling-mistake-about-princess-eugenie-wedding/) as "Jacksbrook" on Thursday. Jack Brooksbank and Princess Eugenie, who is ninth in line to the throne, met [back in 2010](https://thedukeofyork.org/other/the-wedding-of-princess-eugenie-and-jack-brooksbank-meet-the-couple/) while on a ski trip in Verbier, Switzerland. She wasn't quite out of his league: A Stowe School alumnus, Brooksbank can trace his lineage back to royal [baronets](https://wiki2.org/en/Brooksbank_baronets) as far back as 1919. OK, on to the interesting part: Jack Brooksbank's money, and how he might know George Clooney. Because he's a private citizen, Brooksbank's net worth isn't publicly known (Eugenie's net worth, on the other hand, is estimated at $4.7 million). But we do know that his parents live in a gated building outside of London, as [the *Telegraph* reported](http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:sEpy7UWsro0J:origin-www.telegraph.co.uk/royal-family/0/jack-brooksbank-princess-eugenie-fiance-royal-wedding/&hl=en&gl=us&strip=1&vwsrc=0). Brooksbank himself [recently moved in](https://www.harpersbazaar.com/celebrity/latest/a23544666/where-princess-eugenie-jack-brooksbank-will-live-after-royal-wedding/) with Eugenie in the three-bedroom Ivy Cottage at Kensington Palace. Brooksbank doesn't have a college degree, but he's built a successful career in hospitality. Often called "Barman Jack" by the British press, Brooksbank has held a variety of service-related jobs, doing everything from bartending to serving food to managing the nightclub Mahiki. He even once [told the *Daily Mail*](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-6252991/Duke-Kent-not-attend-Princess-Eugenies-wedding-reception.html) it was his goal to own and operate a franchise. "I want to create a chain of pubs. It has been my dream since I was 18," he said. "I have fond memories of Sunday roasts in pubs with log fires, and it’s something I want to recreate. I love pubs and often go to my local for a pint." Brooksbank is now European brand ambassador for Casamigos, the tequila company George Clooney co-founded in 2013 and recently sold for $1 billion. He also started Jack Brooksbank Ltd., a wine, beer and spirits wholesaler that had net assets of $18,000 in August 2017, [according to Endole](https://suite.endole.co.uk/insight/company/10307489-jack-brooksbank-limited). Because Eugenie is not counted as a [working royal](https://www.standard.co.uk/lifestyle/london-life/who-is-princess-eugenie-royal-bride-a3958511.html), meaning she doesn't have specific public duties that bring in a taxpayer-funded salary, it's unclear what Brooksbank's role will be as her husband. But the couple's schedule is certainly set for Friday: They'll wed before their friends, family and lucky guests to a whole lot of fanfare. "A total embrace of goodness and joy," Eugenie's mother Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, [tweeted](https://twitter.com/SarahTheDuchess/status/955393178550628353/photo/1?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E955393178550628353%7Ctwgr%5E363937393b70726f64756374696f6e&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.telegraph.co.uk%2Fnews%2F2018%2F01%2F22%2Fprincess-eugenie-marry-jack-brooksbankbuckingham-palace-announces%2F) after their engagement. "We love Jack, and I am so excited to have a son, a brother and a best friend. Eugenie is one of the finest people I know, and so together it will be pure harmony." ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@graph": [ { "@type": "BreadcrumbList", "@id": "https://money.com/meet-jack-brooksbank-a-31-year-old-tequila-brand-ambassador-marrying-into-the-royal-family-this-week/#breadcrumb", "itemListElement": [ { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 1, "name": "Home", "item": "https://money.com" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "name": "Lifestyle", "item": "https://money.com/lifestyle/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 3, "name": "Celebrities", "item": "https://money.com/celebrities/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 4, "name": "Meet Jack Brooksbank, a 31-Year-Old Tequila Brand Ambassador Who Just Married Into the Royal Family" } ] }, { "@type": "WebSite", "@id": "https://money.com/#website", "url": "https://money.com", "name": "Money", "publisher": { "@id": "https://money.com/#organization" } }, { "@type": "WebPage", "@id": "https://money.com/meet-jack-brooksbank-a-31-year-old-tequila-brand-ambassador-marrying-into-the-royal-family-this-week/#webpage", "url": "https://money.com/meet-jack-brooksbank-a-31-year-old-tequila-brand-ambassador-marrying-into-the-royal-family-this-week/", "name": "Meet Jack Brooksbank, a 31-Year-Old Tequila Brand Ambassador Who Just Married Into the Royal Family", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://money.com/#website" }, "datePublished": "2018-10-12T07:00:56.000Z", "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://money.com/meet-jack-brooksbank-a-31-year-old-tequila-brand-ambassador-marrying-into-the-royal-family-this-week/" }, "inLanguage": "en-US", "breadcrumb": { "@id": "https://money.com/meet-jack-brooksbank-a-31-year-old-tequila-brand-ambassador-marrying-into-the-royal-family-this-week/#breadcrumb" }, "dateModified": "2024-05-16T13:25:19.000Z" }, { "@type": "Article", "headline": "Meet Jack Brooksbank, a 31-Year-Old Tequila Brand Ambassador Who Just Married Into the Royal Family", "articleSection": "Lifestyle", "image": [ { "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "https://img.money.com/2018/10/181011-jack-brooksbank-featured.jpg", "width": 2130, "height": 1422, "caption": "181011-jack-brooksbank-featured" } ], "author": [ { "@type": "Person", "name": "Julia Glum", "url": "https://money.com/author/julia-glum/", "@id": "https://money.com/author/julia-glum/#author", "description": "Julia Glum joined Money in 2018 and specializes in covering financial trends that affect everyday Americans' wallets.
