The coronation of Maria Kazimiera Sobieska in 1676 has not substantially changed her economic status. The parliament endowed on her a lifelong right to hold the crown lands, for which she previously obtained ius comunicativum jointly with her husband. The custom that the royal couple cannot own inheritable his has been abandoned. She won the dispute about the inheritance from her first husband. The advantages of being king’s wife included entitlement to a housing aid, traditionally granted to kings’ spouses. Consequently, Maria Kazimiera Sobieska was granted three housing aids: one after the death of her first husband, Jan Zamoyski, a second after the death of Jan Sobieski, and a third – as the wife of the king of Poland. Maria Kazimiera Sobieska was actively trying to create strong financial fundaments for her and her family, taking advantage of her position as the queen. She was obtaining revenue from illegally giving away crown lands and offices by her husband Jan the Third. After the death of the king, she divided her assets between her and her sons. The revenue coming from goods accrued by her allowed her to maintain royal status after leaving the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.

Związek małżeński Ludwiki Marii Gonzaga z Władysławem IV Wazą wyniósł księżniczkę na szczyt hierarchii społecznej. Postanowienia kontraktów małżeńskich z 1645 i z 1649 roku były bardzo korzystne dla Ludwiki Marii. Wysokość posagu wynosiła 2 100 000 liwrów. Z tej kwoty król Polski otrzymywał 600 000 liwrów. Pozostała suma była do dyspozycji królowej. Ludwika Maria miała otrzymać od Rzeczypospolitej oprawę posagu. Zachowywała ona również prawo do własnego majątku we Francji i w Rzeczypospolitej. Pozycja prawno-majątkowa królowej stwarzała dobrą podstawę dla realizacji jej zamierzeń.
