His income may have been 5 millions but Hesh correctly estimated that he blew all his money on stupid shit and had NO LIQUID CASH and NO SAVINGS.
They toyed with the idea of overseas accounts in S2 (Slava) but dropped it in favor of making Tony a degenerate alcoholic cokehead gambler
I don't think so. Here's a deep dive into New Jersey mcmansions I found after 3 seconds on google.

>we have to launder our money and we can't flash all of it
Idiot.
Mcmansions are not what Tony is in. Mcmansions are smaller houses designed to mimic the style of mansions. Tony's house is more like a mansion, albeit smaller.
How was Tony making so much? I get him getting very wealthy when he became boss (and especially in season 2 when he took over lots of Juniors operations) but he was just another capo at the start of episode 1. But we see that the family was living in that massive house at least 10 years earlier. There's no way he could have been able to afford it on a capo salary (just look at Paulie)
Obviously just upper middle class.
Tony was clearing $5 million per year(tax free) in the 00's. He was rich
source?
David Chase asked some accountant how much Tony probably made and they came up with that number.
5 million per year tax free is still rich in 2023

The show is extremely unrealistic. In reality the New Jersey "mob" is just a handful of losers doing petty crimes.
So...exactly like the show?
>the New Jersey "mob" is just a handful of losers doing petty crimes.
no its actually government officials.
No they weren't they were running unions and cutting government cheques among running drugs, cars, prostitute etc
he's fricking rich. how is that even a question? then again, Cinemaphile is full of morons that think a 200k salary is "middle class".
It is tho. Rich starts at a billion. Tony is "moderately well off".
I can't tell if this is an epic ironic shitpost or legit autism.
I know just the guy to take us to the next level Tone
He doesn't have any savings or investments
or the makings of a varsity athlete.
Tony had several million saved in that compost thing out the back.
kek no
One million usd in 100s is only a yard high. He had several yards and we see them
He b***hed for years about his wife taking 40k. He was hood rich.
And yet they were millionaires. Tony b***hed because Carmella was ungrateful. Did you even fricking watch the show.
>yet they were millionaires
In assets, not cash. House, boat, cars, that's it.
"Upper middle class" doesnt have a house that big. They have a mcmansion and a pool and a mercedes s-class.
That literally is a mcmansion with a pool.
maybe i'm using "mcmansion" wrong then.

Wasn't his dad and then best friend the boss? He also wasn't moronic like Paulie. Also, wasn't Paulie lower level?
lower upper richer class
He can't spend his real money except on vacations and salami sandwiches.
>vacations
He never took Carm and the kids on vacation
by season 5 and 6 you can tell hes running out of cash, was even hesitant to pay hesh the 200k. for a rich person thats nothing
He had to appear to be upper middle class for tax purposes, but he was rich.
