How Much Money did Tony Soprano make per year?

Question

Been rewatching Soprano&#x27;s on Demand recently and got to thinking.....How much did Tony pull in per year?  Here&#x27;s my calculations as near as I can figure out:Taxed:Bada Bing Revenue: $50K per year ( Keep in mind profits split between a number of owners as I&#x27;m pretty sure he wasn&#x27;t the main owner, and Sil and Paulie etc all had a stake)Barone Sanitation: $100K per yearSatriale&#x27;s Pork Store: $30K per year (not too much money in the pork business)Construction Business (ie The Esplanade, etc): $150K per yearRandom other business ventures ie Webistics etc: $50K per yearUntaxed:Protection Rackets: $50K a year Gambling operations: $200k per year.  Probably the biggest money maker.  As TS once quoted "Football Season&#x27;s coming up.  It&#x27;s our busiest time of the year!"Cargo Hijacking/Robbery etc: $150K per yearMiscellaneous: $50K per yearGrand Total: $830K per year.  About half of that untaxed......That sounds about right.......I could see him pulling in upwards of $1.2-$1.5 million or so, but that number seems accurate.Thoughts?

My thought is you have too much time on your hands. Can you figure out how much Vince makes on Entourage?

I&#x27;m guessing he cleared 7 figures after taxes

captjohn67 · Answer

the 200k is waaaay short, imo

captjohn67 · Answer

sorry, meant to say way short on the gambling operations

kaponofor3 · Answer

Sounds about right. I always thought the Family was much larger than they showed on the show, we only got to see the higher-ups and not really the true young guys/foot soldiers. I'd estimate between 1 to 2 million a year, I think your figures are probably pretty accurate.

Good post.

equalblueberrys · Answer

True......but keep in mind, thats just his cut.........you have to figure that the main number is getting chopped up between quiet a few guys, no?

EricLinny · Answer

He&#x27;s the boss.  He could probably take whatever he wanted from the pot.  I would think so at least? Who is gonna tell the Boss they can&#x27;t take an extra 100K off the top for a purchase ?

EricLinny · Answer

I bet box (RIP) made about 100K-200K

equalblueberrys · Answer

Ya I would put box, Sil, Paulie all in the $150k - $200k a year range. Very comfortable living

Christopher prob made that amount too. Foot soldier's you're still prob making at least $75K per year or so.

&#xD;&#xA;It&#x27;s all about planning and execution.  All the hard work they put in for 364 days really pays off on the 365th.  &#xD;&#xA;No PETA for the reindeer.  No union for the elves.  He&#x27;s got got a good operation going up there.

Because it&#x27;s a show that&#x27;s grounded in reality, so the character could easily be real.I don&#x27;t get why people make useless comments like this in threads all the time?  I&#x27;m not suggesting this thread is some high-brow discussion of anything important, but seriously, what&#x27;s the point of making dumb snarky comments (which looking through your thread history seems to be your perogative on this site........no posting picks or discussion, just endless bashing of people).  Just weird to me.

Bada Bing is owned by Sil. Tony would not see any envelopes from his legimate business, that is against Mafia protocol. The importance of "legimate" income would always be stressed between the boss and his capo's.The same way Tony would not profit from Chris and Adriana's club.

My take would be

Barone Sanitation: $200K + benefits per year (as a consultant)

Satriale's Pork Store: $40K per year (rental income, Tony owns the property)

Construction Business (ie The Esplanade, thru mainly no shows, I believe is quoted as being worth 1.5 mil, divided by 3 (Tony, Ralph/Vito, the family) over 5 years): $100K per year

Random other business ventures ie (Webistics, Pie-O-My purses, Chris' Movie): $50K per year

Property/Rental Income: $300,000

Untaxed:

Protection Rackets: $50K a year

Gambling operations: $250k per year

Cargo Hijacking/Robbery etc: $50K per year (high risk and little reward, would be limited to the odd job)

Grand Total: $1,040,000 per year.
