In her first major competition, four-star Burghley Horse Trials event in 2003, she finished in second place, then in 2005 at the European Eventing Championship she earned several gold medals, while in 2006 at the FEI World Equestrian Games, held in Aachen, Germany, she was decorated with team silver and an individual gold medal.

Due to injuries to her horse Toytown, Zara missed the 2004 Summer Olympic Games in Athens as well as the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing. However, in 2012 she was part of the British equestrian at the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London, winning a silver medal. In the following year, she ended as runner-up at the Luhmühlen Horse Trials, while in 2014 at the World Equestrian Games she won another silver medal. Doubtlessly, all these accomplishments have helped Zara Phillips to boost the total of her net worth.
When it comes to her personal life, Zara has been married since 2011 to retired English professional rugby player Mike Tindall, with whom she welcomed a daughter. Currently being the 16th in line of succession to the throne, Zara since March 2016 uses her husband’s surname, still occasionally using her maiden name on official Royal family appearances.
