Hugh Richard Louis Grosvenor, a godfather to Prince George, reportedly spent £5m on his lavish 21st birthday party.
Hugh Richard Louis Grosvenor, previously known by his honorary title Earl Grosvenor, also inherits Eaton Hall in Cheshire - home to the Grosvenor family since the 15th century.
One of four siblings, he is the only son of the late Duke of Westminster - who died at the age of 64 on Tuesday - and his wife Natalia.
He was the youngest chosen by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in 2013 to be a godfather to Prince George.
A former student of countryside management at Newcastle University, he has largely kept out of the spotlight, but is known to have thrown a lavish 21st birthday party for 800 guests at Eaton Hall which was reported to have cost £5m.
Comedian Michael McIntyre and hip hop duo Rizzle Kicks provided the entertainment, and Prince Harry was among the guests for the "black tie and neon" event.
At the time, the new Duke told the Chester Chronicle: "The party was simply amazing - a birthday and a party I will never forget.
"It is the beginning of a new era in my life and I look forward to the challenges that lie ahead."
Vanity Fair described him as "baby-faced" and "absurdly rich", while the Tatler List said that after inheriting his father's estate he would "own half of London".
The new Duke of Westminster works as an account manager for bio-bean, a green technology company which recycles coffee grounds into advanced biofuels and biochemicals.
He was educated at a state primary, before going to a private day school close to his home in Cheshire.
Hugh's mother Natalia, the Duchess of Westminster, is one of the Duke of Cambridge's godparents.
His sister, Lady Tamara, is married to Edward van Cutsem, whose brother William van Cutsem is also a godparent to Prince George.
As part of his new role, he is expected to take responsibility for the Westminster Foundation, a charitable body which manages the philanthropic activities of the Grosvenor family.
Formed in the 1970s, it has awarded more than £40m in grants.
Hugh's father, Gerald Cavendish Grosvenor, worth around £9.35bn, was said to be the 68th richest person in the world.
He owned land in Belgravia, an area adjacent to Buckingham Palace and one of London's most expensive boroughs, as well as thousands of acres in Scotland and Spain.
He had inherited his title and became chairman of Grosvenor Holdings - the commercial arm of the estate - at the age of 27 when his father Robert died in 1979. skyNEWS
